Today structure proof involves the same components—purification, functional group identification, and establishment of atom and group connectivity however, die ways in which these are accomplished are more efficient, sensitive, and reliable. They are also much faster. The ability to run reactions, purify products, and determine structures on milligram scales, often in a matter of hours, has caused a huge increase in die rate at which structural information can be obtained. This has resulted in an exponential growth of chemical knowledge and is directly responsible for the explosion of information being continually published in the chemical literature.

FIGURE 7.4 Of the 16 chemistry topics examined (1-16) on the final exam, overall the POGIL students had more correct responses to the same topics than their L-I counterparts. Some topics did not appear on all the POGIL exams. Asterisks indicate topics that were asked every semester and compared to the L-I group. The topics included a solution problem (1), Lewis structures (2), chiral center identification (3), salt dissociation (4), neutralization (5), acid-base equilibrium (6), radioactive half-life (7), isomerism (8), ionic compounds (9), biological condensation/hydrolysis (10), intermolecular forces (11), functional group identification (12), salt formation (13), biomolecule identification (14), LeChatelier s principle (15), and physical/chemical property (16). 

Inorganic and bioinorganic applications of IR and Raman spectroscopies are covered in some detail in subsequent sections. General types of information that can be obtained include analytical identification, stracture and symmetry, ligand and functional group identification, metal-ligand and metal-metal bonding potentials and force constants, structural kinetics and dynamics, excited-state properties, vibronic... 

Sample Problem 13.5 shows how the region above 1500 cm in an IR spectrum can be used for functional group identification. 

As mentioned above, mass spectral interpretation will be greatly aided if high mass accuracy data at high mass resolution are available to determine the elemental formula of the unknown and its fragments. Also there is increasing use of gas-phase ion/molecule reactions that can be exploited for class and functional group identification.141... 

The use of infrared spectroscopy, either through fingerprint characterisation or by functional group identification, is well established. IR vibrational spectroscopy has thus been applied in spectroelectrochemistry for quite some time. ° The possibility to establish the symmetry of a molecule has made IR-SEC a most valuable tool for mixed-valence chemistry, ° allowing intramolecular electron-transfer rates in the picosecond region to be assessed and electron-transfer isomers to be established. ... 

Raman spectroscopy is by no means a new technique, although it is not as widely known or used by chemists as the related technique of infrared spectroscopy. However, following developments in the instrumentation over the last 20 years or so Raman spectroscopy appears to be having something of a rebirth. Raman, like infrared, may be employed for qualitative analysis, molecular structure determination, functional group identification, comparison of various physical properties such as crystallinity, studies of molecular interaction and determination of thermodynamic properties. 

Treatment of test solutions with specific reagents in combination with the phase-equilibrium method for functional group identification of volatile impurities in aqueous solutions is common [19—23]. The analysis is based on the interaction of a definite class of substances with the selected reagents in the liquid phase with the formation of involatile derivatives, accompanied by the disappearance of the corresponding peaks in the chromatogram of the equilibrium gas phase above the solution (e.g., carbonyl compounds are removed on treatment of the test solution with hydroxylammonium chloride, sulphides with mercury(II) chloride and ethers and carbonyls with basic hydroxylamine... 

Section 13.22 Functional-group identification is the main contribution of IR spectroscopy to organic chemistry. Various classes of compounds exhibit peaks at particular frequencies characteristic of the functional groups they contain. (Table 13.4). 

Even though direct methods are often used for characterization of functional groups, in some instances, observation of the absorption spectra recorded after suitable derivatization leads to functional group identification. The types of reactions involved in such derivatization procedures include (1) formation... 

IR spectroscopy is an incredibly powerful tool for functional group identification, as we have seen in the preceding sections. However, in introducing this technique, we have explored IR spectra from the perspective of compounds of known structure, explaining the peaks observed in reference to each critical grouping of atoms that we know to be present. In the real world, one often encounters brand new materials of unknown structure. How IR can help in this scenario is something that a forensics scientist or natural products isolation chemist might need to worry about on a daily basis.
