Carbonyl stretching frequency

Hydrogen bonding to a carbonyl group causes a shift to lower frequency of 40 to 60 cm k Acids, amides, enolized /3-keto carbonyl systems, and o-hydroxyphenol and o-aminophenyl carbonyl compounds show this effect. All carbonyl compounds tend to give slightly lower values for the carbonyl stretching frequency in the solid state compared with the value for dilute solutions.

The infrared carbonyl stretching frequencies of n- and isobutyraldehyde in the condensed phase occur at 1727.6 and 1738.0 cm , respectively (38). The proton nmr spectra of both aldehydes are weU-known (39). 

Figure 4 IR frequencies (cm ) for keto heterocycles (carbonyl stretching frequencies bracketed frequencies are for C=C stretches)...

IR spectroscopy has been particularly helpful in detecting the presence of keto tautomers of the hydroxy heterocycles discussed in Section 3.01.6. Some typical frequencies for such compounds are indicated in Figure 4. Here again the doublets observed for some of the carbonyl stretching frequencies have been ascribed to Fermi resonance. 

The normal modes associated with these frequencies are characterized by motion limited to the hydrogen atom in question. The values of the frequencies are in reasonable agreement with observations which place this peak in the range 2745-2710 cm S given our knowledge of basis set effects from the carbonyl stretch frequencies. ...

Because of the frequent mutual interference of electronic, inductive, and steric effects, and because of the influence of ring strain, the carbonyl stretching frequency is naturally not an absolute criterion for the methylation course. The heterocyclic systems in question are too diverse for this to hold. Careful inspection of Table I discloses certain deviations from the relationships mentioned. These deviations will now be discussed. 

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. 

Adduct formation by IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 and similar compounds results in a shift in the IR carbonyl stretching frequency (Table 2.8). 

The carbonyl stretching frequencies in the ir spectra of cis-3-substituted methyl acrylates (set 12-18) were also correlated with eq. (24) and eq. (2). Barely significant correlations were obtained with both equations. The value of i// obtained in the correlation with eq. (24) was not significant. We may therefore probably exclude cases (a) and (b). As the hcaic is not significantly different from hobs > we may exclude case (c). This set is therefore probably an example of case (d) that is, there is no meaningful steric effect. 

In addition to the oxidation-reduction potentials data, two sets of infrared carbonyl stretching frequencies were correlated with eqs. (2) and (30). Of these, one set, Pqq for 2-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones, gave significant results, with Pr of about 50. While the other set did not give significant correlation, it contained only four points. Although the sharp difference between pr for vqq and pR for Ep correlations of 2-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones is worthy of note, it should not be discussed until it is confirmed by further work. 

This simple picture of bonding is convenient to use, and often completely acceptable. However, it does lack sophistication and may not be used to explain some of the subtleties of these systems. One obvious point in this regard concerns infrared spectral data. Coordination of carbon monoxide to a metal invariably leads to a lower carbonyl stretching frequency (vco). implying a lower CO bond order as predicted. However, the values for vcn may be considerably higher for metal complexes of an isocyanide than are the values for the ligand itself. The valence-bond picture cannot rationalize...

All the group 4B metallocene dicarbonyl complexes exhibit two strong metal carbonyl stretching frequencies (Ax and Bf) with the exception of bis(i7-indenyl)dicarbonyltitanium (34) and bis(i7-tetrahydroindenyl)dicar-bonyltitanium they exhibit three frequencies due to splitting of the Bt... 

The IR and XH-NMR spectral data for the various titanocene mono-carbonyl-phosphine complexes are compiled in Table III. Examination of the carbonyl stretching frequencies (Table III) nicely demonstrates the enhanced 7r-backbonding of the titanium center to CO as the -accepting ability of the phosphine ligand decreases.
