Carbon dioxide absorption spectrum

After water vapor and C02, methane (CH4) is the third most important greenhouse gas. Each additional molecule of CH4 added to the atmosphere absorbs about 20 times as much long-wave infrared radiation as does a molecule of carbon dioxide. This occurs in part because some of the absorption spectrum of methane lies in windows in the carbon dioxide absorption spectrum (see Fig. 4-42) therefore, methane absorbs wavelengths that are not already being highly attenuated by carbon dioxide. Currently, the global concentration of methane in the atmosphere is approximately 1.7 ppm and is increasing at an annual rate of approximately 0.01 ppm per year (Table 4-14). The seasonal fluctuations shown in Fig. 4-44 may correspond to seasonal... 

The supercritical CO2 absorption bands change in intensity as a function of density but the band shape does not change - at least not at the 8 cm spectral resolution typically used for this application. As a result, it is a simple matter to subtract the supercritical carbon dioxide absorption spectrum from an FT-IR data file collected during an SFC/FT-IR experiment. The subtraction factor is adjusted to exactly compensate for the Fermi resonance absorption. The resulting spectrum will then contain only absorption bands due to other components, if any, entrained in the supercritical fluid. The regions from 3800-3500 cm and from 2500-2200 cm appear as gaps in the spectrum because the supercritical carbon dioxide absorbs all the available infrared radiation in these regions.

When levuhnic acid (CH3CCH2CH2CO2H) was hydrogenated at high pressure over a nickel catalyst at 220°C a single product C5Hg02 was isolated in 94% yield This compound lacks hydroxyl absorption in its IR spectrum and does not immediately liberate carbon dioxide on being shaken with sodium bicarbonate What is a reasonable structure for the compound" ... 

Figure 1. Background (no sample) spectrum at different scale expansions illustrating system wavelength response, absorption attributable to typical amounts of residual water and carbon dioxide, and high signal-to-noise. The spectrum required 12 minutes of data acquisition at 8-cm optical retardation.

Quinoline364 and isoquinoline behave much like pyridine toward DMAD, and only the more interesting reactions will be noted. Isoquinoline in ether at -60° with DMAD and carbon dioxide gives, via the postulated intermediate 295, zwitterion 296 (m.p. 83°-84°), which is far more stable than its pyridine analogs (cf. 2).365 Its stereochemistry has not been established but its IR spectrum shows absorption due to the carboxylate anion and excludes the cyclic formulation 297. Replacing the carbon dioxide by ethyl carbonate gives 298.366 In wet ether the... 

To 27.5 g. (0.1 mole) of crude (carbonato)bis(ethylenediamine)-cobalt(III) chloride is added 200 ml. of 1.00 N hydrochloric acid. The carbonato complex is dissolved with evolution of carbon dioxide gas and formation of a red solution consisting primarily of the corresponding cw-diaqua species. The solution is evaporated in the steam bath until an almost dry paste has been formed. The purple residue is filtered and washed with three 20-ml. portions of ice-cold water. Drying in air yields 19.5 g. of purple crystals of cu-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride. The mother liquor and the washings are again evaporated almost to dryness to yield a second crop of crystals, 5.9 g. The total yield is 25.4 g. (84% based on (carbonato)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride). The analysis and the visible absorption spectrum of the two fractions are identical. Anal. Calcd. for [Co(en)2Cl2 ] C1 H20 Co, 19.42 N, 18.46 C, 15.82 Cl, 35.05 H, 5.98. Found Co, 19.50 N, 18.57 C, 15.77 C1, 35.15 H, 6.01. 

Oxodecanoic acid. Dissolve 4.0 g of 3-carboxy-3,4-dibromodecanoic acid in 60 ml of 2m sodium hydroxide solution and heat the solution at 80-90 °C for 2 hours. Cool to room temperature and acidify with dilute sulphuric acid carbon dioxide is evolved and a white precipitate is formed. Filter the precipitated keto acid from the cold solution and recrystallise from light petroleum (b.p. 40-60 °C). 4-Oxodecanoic acid, m.p. 68-69 °C, is obtained the yield is 1.6 g (80%). The infrared spectrum shows absorptions at 3400-2400 cm-1 (OH stretch of COzH) and 1700 cm-1 (0=0).
