Hydrogen bonding—IR spectroscopy

The electronic effects of the Me3M substituents (M = C to Pb), bonded to n- or ji-donor centres, were studied by the method of hydrogen bond IR spectroscopy. This method is demonstrated in equation 8. 

The low accessibility of hydroxyl groups to reactants is mainly due to hydrogen bonding. IR spectroscopy shows that both intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding take place. 

These effects can be attributed mainly to the inductive nature of the chlorine atoms, which reduces the electron density at position 4 and increases polarization of the 3,4-double bond. The dual reactivity of the chloropteridines has been further confirmed by the preparation of new adducts and substitution products. The addition reaction competes successfully, in a preparative sense, with the substitution reaction, if the latter is slowed down by a low temperature and a non-polar solvent. Compounds (12) and (13) react with dry ammonia in benzene at 5 °C to yield the 3,4-adducts (IS), which were shown by IR spectroscopy to contain little or none of the corresponding substitution product. The adducts decompose slowly in air and almost instantaneously in water or ethanol to give the original chloropteridine and ammonia. Certain other amines behave similarly, forming adducts which can be stored for a few days at -20 °C. Treatment of (12) and (13) in acetone with hydrogen sulfide or toluene-a-thiol gives adducts of the same type.

Complexes. The structure of an n a charge-transfer complex between quinoxaline and two iodine atoms has been obtained by X-ray analysis and its thermal stability compared with those of related complexes. The hydrogen bond complex between quinoxaline and phenol has been studied by infrared spectroscopy and compared with many similar complexes. Adducts of quinoxaline with uranium salts and with a variety of copper(II) alkano-ates have been prepared, characterized, and studied with respect to IR spectra or magnetic properties, respectively. 

The hydrogen content Ch greatly influences structure and consequently electronic and optoelectronic properties. An accurate measurement of Ch can be made with several ion-beam-based methods see e.g. Arnold Bik et al. [54]. A much easier accessible method is Fourier-transform infrared transmittance (FTIR) spectroscopy. The absorption of IR radiation is different for different silicon-hydrogen bonding configurations. The observed absorption peaks have been indentified [55-57] (for an overview, see Luft and Tsuo [6]). The hydrogen content can be determined from the absorption peak at 630 cm , which includes... 

The freeze of equilibrium by the complexation method is also applicable to some other compounds. 2-Mercapto substituted tropone 32 has been reported to exist as an equilibrium mixture of 2-mercaptotropone (32 a) and 2-hydroxytropothione (32 b), and the latter is predominant both in solution 17) and in the solid state 18). The equilibrium is frozen and the former was isolated by inclusion complexation with 1. When a solution of 1 and 32 in petrol ether was kept, a 1 1 complex 33 composed of 1 and 32a was obtained in 90% yield as orange prisms of mp 101 to 103 °C19). The structure of 32a in 33 was elucidated by IR spectroscopy which showed vSH at 2482 cm-1 33 gave also absorptions of a strongly hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl group at 3270 cm 1. 

The frequencies of absorption bands present gives diagnostic information on the nature of functional groups in materials as well as information from any observed frequency shifts on aspects such as hydrogen bonding and crystallinity. In many cases, spectra can be recorded non-destructively using either reflection or transmission procedures. IR spectra of small samples can also be obtained through microscopes (IR microspectrometry). Chalmers and Dent [8] discuss the theory and practice of IR spectroscopy in their book on industrial analysis with vibrational spectroscopy. Standard spectra of additives for polymeric materials include the major collection by Hummel and Scholl [9].
