Carbon-hydrogen bonds stretching frequencies

Carbon-hydrogen bond stretching of Ag symmetry is omitted because its frequency (well separated in energy from the other Ag normal modes) is not affected by changes in Fp. 

Kinetic isotope effect. Calculate the kie for R-H/R-T and R-D/R-T, taking for a carbon-hydrogen bond a stretching frequency of 2900 cm 1. 

Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes also have characteristic C — H stretching frequencies. Carbon-hydrogen bonds involving sp3 hybrid carbon atoms generally absorb at frequencies just below (to the right of) 3000 cm-1. Those involving sp2 hybrid carbons absorb just above (to the left of) 3000 cm-1. We explain this difference by the amount of 5 character in the carbon orbital used to form the bond. The s orbital is closer to the nucleus than the p orbitals, and stronger, stiffer bonds result from orbitals with more s character. Even if an alkene s C=C absorption is weak or absent, the unsaturated C—H stretch above 3000 cm-1 reveals the presence of the double bond. 

Another useful technique for the qualitative and quantitative characterization of brushes inside porous membranes is transmission mode Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy [22,29]. If the membrane material does not appreciably adsorb light near the characteristic frequency of the C-H stretching peak, which is the footprint of carbon hydrogen bonds in polymer chains, then the measured FTIR absorbance peak can be used (after proper calibration) for the calculation of the amoimt of polymer inside the pore. As in the case of gravimetric analysis, transmission FTIR measurements are performed on dried solvent-free samples where the grafted chains are collapsed on the iimer pore surface. 

The same authors pointed out, however, that the infrared stretching frequencies of the C—H bonds were more like those associated with sp rather than with sp hybridized carbon-hydrogen bonds. In view of the unknown effect the Fe(CO)3 grouping might have on the local magnetic field in the diene moiety they considered the infrared evidence, favoring (IV), to be more diagnostic. 

It has been known for a long time that amines which have a hydrogen on a carbon attached to the nitrogen so that the C—H bond is antiperiplanar to the lone pair, show abnormally low stretching frequencies for those C—H bonds. In order to reproduce this (Bohlmann) effect MM3 corrects the natural bond lengths and force constants of such C—H bonds by31 ...
