Carboxylic acids group frequencies

The nucleic acid sensor was prepared by first derivatizing the quartz surface with a 3 1 styrene-acrylic acid copolymer. Poly (A) was then covalently immobilized onto pendant carboxylic acid groups by amide bond formation with the amino groups on the adenine base. Hybridization occurred during incubation with poly(U). Following each of the three steps, the sensor was rinsed and dried and the resonant frequency of oscillation was measured. Prior to any treatment, the quartz crystals exhibited a resonant frequency of 9 MHz. Because each step in the surface treatment involved the addition of mass to the crystal surface, a frequency decrease was expected after each step. Figure 7.9 shows the actual frequency changes measured for a sensor prepared as described above, as well as for a sensor prepared with no poly(A) included in the second step (i.e., a control sensor).

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is probably the quickest and cheapest of the spectroscopic techniques in determining the functional groups of the sample. The samples can be soUds, liquids, or gases and can be measured in solution or as neat liquids mulled with KBr or mineral oil. Comparison of IR spectra of substances of known structure has led to many correlations between wavelength (or frequency) of IR absorption and features of molecular structure. Certain structural features can easily be established. For example, in an organic compound that contains only C, H and O, the oxygen can only be present as C=0,0—H, or C—O—C or a combination of these, such as the ester or carboxylic acid group. 

Exo-oxabicylo-[2.2.1] hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride was prepared following the reported process [13]. 3-(4-carboxyphenylcarbamoyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2. l]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid was prepared by using 1 equivalent of 4-aminobenzoic acid and 5.1 equivalent of acetic anhydride in presence of 0.29 equivalent of sodium acetate in dimethyl formamide solvent. Product was confirmed by H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The signal at 5 13.1 (bs, IH) ppm and 5 176 ppm was responsible for carboxylic acid group (Figs. 5 and 6) 5 8.0-8.2 (m, 2H) and 7.4-7.5 (m, 2H) ppm were responsible for aromatic protons, while 5 6.6 (s, 2H), 5.34 (s, 2H) and 3.1 (s, 2H) ppm peaks were for oxo-norbomene protons. Broad stretching frequency at 3244 cm was attributed to free carboxylic acid as shown in (Fig. 7a). 

Structural keys describe the chemical composition and structural motifs of molecules represented as a Boolean array. If a certain structural feature is present in a molecule or a substructure, a particular bit is set to 1 (true), otherwise to 0 (false). A bit in this array may encode a particular functional group (such as a carboxylic acid or an amidelinkage), a structural element (e.g., a substituted cyclohexane), or at least n occurrences of a particular element (e.g., a carbon atom). Alternatively, the structural key can be defined as an array of integers where the elements of this array contain the frequency of a specific feature in the molecule. 

Infrared IR spectroscopy is quite useful in identifying carboxylic acid derivatives The, carbonyl stretching vibration is very strong and its position is sensitive to the nature of IKT the carbonyl group In general electron donation from the substituent decreases the double bond character of the bond between carbon and oxygen and decreases the stretch mg frequency Two distinct absorptions are observed for the symmetric and antisym metric stretching vibrations of the anhydride function...
