Carbonyl infrared absorption bands

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was also used to study the anisotropic structure of polyimide films. This work was based on the fact that there are characteristic absorptions associated with in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations of some functional groups, such as the carbonyl doublet absorption bands at 1700-1800 cm . The origin of this doublet has been attributed to the in-phase (symmetrical stretching) and out-of-phase (asymmetrical stretching) coupled... 

The infrared absorption bands of the carbonyl and the N-H stretching regions have been reported for several other hydroxy-naphthyridines, although no conclusion was offered as to the position of a possible keto-enol tautomerism.38,84...

Having established both a probable mathematical form of the true shape of an infrared absorption band and its relationship to its apparent or observed profile, Ramsay outlined three methods for determining true integrated absorption intensities. As these methods have been used exclusively in all reported studies of absolute intensities of metal carbonyl stretching vibrations, they are now described in some detail. ... 

The nitrosyl carbonyl has not been identified, but crude products contain infrared absorption bands which have been attributed to such a compound. 

For these measurements, a Foxboro/Wilks Model 80 Computing Infrared Analyzer and a Perkin-Elmer Model 281B Infrared Spectrophotometer have been used. Infrared absorption band assignments in the carbonyl region are summarized in Table II (y, 2, 3, 9-17). 

Hypothesis for the atomic structure of the a and P states are obviously closely related to the suggested mechanism for the formation of these two phases. There appears, however, to be general acceptance of a description of the a phase in terms of a single-site adsorption complex bound to the surface via the carbon atom with a similar mechanism to that used to describe M—C O bonding in the binary carbonyls. Recently, good correlation between the shift in the infrared absorption bands measured by Blyholder and Allen 206) on the first-row transition metals from vanadium to copper has been found by them using a... 

The carbonyl group (C=0) gives infrared absorption bands in 1750-1735 cm . The C—H stretching vibrations produce bands in 1300-1180 cm . Aliphatic and aromatic esters may conveniently be analyzed by GC nsing flame ionization detector. A column snch as 10% SP-1000 or 5% FLAP on Chro-mosorb W-HP is suitable for the purpose. 

The FTIR spectra are given in Fig. 8.64. The infrared absorption bands at 1,654 and 1,289 cm respectively, correspond to the amide 1 carbonyl (-C=0) band and amide 111 (-C-N) stretching band, respectively, of PVP. The surface of unsized CMS, on the other hand, was almost inert with no apparent appearance of the characteristic peaks. The presence of the characteristic peaks of PVP was observed in the sized CMS spectra. This finding supports that PVP was successfully deposited on top of carbon surface. 

The carbonyl (CO) and hydroxyl (OH)/hydroperoxide (OOH) frequencies are the best known of the characteristic infrared absorption bands formed upon photo-oxidative degradation of polymers. These strong bands fall in regions of the spectra where few other absorptions are found. 

Esters are usually readily identified by their spectroscopic properties (70). Among these, infrared spectroscopy (ir) is especially useful for identifying the carbonyl of the ester group that has characteristic absorption bands. The C=0 absorption is very strong in the ir at 1750-1735 cm in addition,... 

Shugar and FoxS " reported that 4-ethoxypyrimidin-2-one exists in the 0X0 form 102 since its ultraviolet spectrum is different from that of 103. They further claimed that the isomeric compound, 2-ethoxy-4-hydroxypyrimidine, existed in the hydroxy form (104) however, reexamination of the ultraviolet spectral data suggests that this unlikely conclusion may be incorrect, and the infrared spectrum of 104 does, indeed, show a carbonyl absorption band. 2-Methylthiopyrim-idin-4-one has been reported to exist in the hydroxy form, but this to appears unlikely. 

Run infrared spectra of pure acetone and of pure propan-2-ol. From them select an absorption band for acetone which does not overlap significantly with any of those for the propan-2-ol. The best band is most probably that at 1718 cm-1, the carbonyl stretching frequency. 

Except in simple cases, it is very difficult to predict the infrared absorption spectrum of a polyatomic molecule, because each of the modes has its characteristic absorption frequency rather than just the single frequency of a diatomic molecule. However, certain groups, such as a benzene ring or a carbonyl group, have characteristic frequencies, and their presence can often be detected in a spectrum. Thus, an infrared spectrum can be used to identify the species present in a sample by looking for the characteristic absorption bands associated with various groups. An example and its analysis is shown in Fig. 3. 

The carbonyl index is not a standard technique, but is a widely used convenient measurement for comparing the relative extent and rate of oxidation in series of related polymer samples. The carbonyl index is determined using mid-infrared spectroscopy. The method is based on determining the absorbance ratio of a carbonyl (vC = 0) band generated as a consequence of oxidation normalised normally to the intensity of an absorption band in the polymer spectrum that is invariant with respect to polymer oxidation. (In an analogous manner, a hydroxyl index may be determined from a determination of the absorbance intensity of a vOH band normalised against an absorbance band that is invariant to the extent of oxidation.) In the text following, two examples of multi-technique studies of polymer oxidation will be discussed briefly each includes a measure of a carbonyl index.
