Infrared spectroscopy absorption frequencies table

For a more comprehensive compilation of data you are referred to Meites (1965). We can use such tables of Ei data in much the same way as characteristic absorption frequency tables are used in infrared spectroscopy they indicate the likely content of the solution. Fig. 1.6e shows the polarogram expected for a solution containing lead, cadmium and zinc in aqueous 0.1 mol dm " KCl. 

IR spectroscopy is widely used for structural analysis because many functional groups have characteristic vibrational frequencies. Vibrations of the peptide bond give rise to three major infrared (IR) absorption bands (Table 6.1, Fig. 6.6) ... 

It may seem there are too many numbers to memorize in infrared spectroscopy. Hundreds of characteristic absorptions for different kinds of compounds are listed in Appendix 2. Please glance at Appendix 2, and note that Appendix 2A is organized visually, while Appendix 2B is organized by functional groups. For everyday use, we can get by with only a few stretching frequencies, shown in Table 12-2. When using this table, remember... 

Different types of carbonyl groups give characteristic strong absorptions at different positions in the infrared spectrum. As a result, infrared spectroscopy is often the best method to detect and differentiate these carboxylic acid derivatives. Table 21-3 summarizes the characteristic IR absorptions of carbonyl functional groups. As in Chapter 12, we are using about 1710 cm-1 for simple ketones and acids as a standard for comparison. Appendix 2 gives a more complete table of characteristic IR frequencies. 

Section 13.19 Infrared spectroscopy probes molecular structure by examining transitions between vibrational energy levels using electromagnetic radiation in the 625-4000-cm range. The presence or absence of a peak at a characteristic frequency tells us whether a certain functional group is present. Table 13.4 lists IR absorption frequencies for common structural units. 

In order to determine the conformational equilibrium of a-halocyclohexanones, Corey used infrared spectroscopy, since the substitution of one a-hydrogen in a cyclohexanone with a halogen produced a frequency shift in the absorption of the carbonyl group, where the frequency shift magnitudes depended upon whether or not the a-halogen atom was axial or equatorial (Table 1.1). 

Each vibrational mode has its characteristic frequency and the molecule can absorb infrared light of frequencies which correspond to the vibrations that are active in the molecule. This fact is used for structural characterization of molecules. Frequencies of the absorption maxima in the infrared spectrum allow us to identify the vibrational modes. Since every functional group possesses characteristic vibrations, the infrared spectrum can be used to identify the functional groups present in the molecule. This method is called infrared spectroscopy. In spectroscopy the vibrational frequencies are represented as wavenumbers which are measured in units called reciprocal centimeters cm. The reciprocal centimeter unit is the number of waves within 1 cm. Some characteristic vibrational wavenumbers for the most important functional groups are presented in the table above. 

Haslewood (25) has discussed the value of infrared spectroscopy for the characterization of bile acids and has indicated that bands at about 9.3, 9.6, 10.2, 10.5, and 10.95 p are especially useful for detection of the cholic acid nucleus. Earlier he and Anderson (69) noted the importance of absorption bands at 10.4 and W.2 p for the identification of allocholic acid. He has pointed out the prominence of bands at about 9.2, 9.7, 9.9, 10.4, and 11.2 /i in the spectrum of allocholic acid. Those bands between 9.0 and 10.0 p due to the C-0 stretching frequency can be attributed to the axial hydroxyl groups at Cj, C, and Cjj. This is apparent from the data in Table IV which show the absorption bands for a series of substituted allo-acids in the vicinity of the bands reported for allocholic acid. The band found in the vicinity of 9.9 p can be attributed to the 3a-hydroxyl group replacement with a 3/9-hydroxyl group produces a hypsochromic shift. 

Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool to determine the structural changes that occur during doping (dedoping process). Various groups have reported FTIR results of polyaniline [167-78]. It has been shown that the absorption frequencies are strongly influenced by the electrochemical potential (Table 12.15). 

Cells for holding samples, or windows within the spectrometer must be made of infrared transmitting material. Table 2.1 lists approximate low wavenumber transmission limits for some optical materials used in infrared spectroscopy. All the materials listed transmit in the mid-IR above the transmission limit except for polyethylene, which is used below 600 cm" only, as it has absorption bands at higher frequencies. The transmission limits are not sharply defined and depend somewhat on the thickness of the material used. For example, a typical cell for liquid samples which is made of NaCl... 

The Stable carbonyl and thiocarbonyl halide molecules have been studied by IR as well as Raman spectroscopy. Normal coordinate analyses based on force constants transferred from other molecules (Urey-Bradley type), or from ab initio calculations, have aided in the vibrational assignments. Some of the unstable molecules which have been observed in the microwave have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The somewhat lower sensitivity of this method means that long path lengths of the gas may be needed. The identification of the various stable and unstable species in the microwave spectrum is simplified by the fact that the absorption lines are usually well resolved from each other. The widths of the bands in the infrared may make the transient species difficult to detect against the stronger absorptions of the stable side products. IR and Raman spectroscopies do have the advantage that they can be used on solid and liquid samples. Since the bands in a low temperature rare gas matrix have a narrower profile, the infrared spectrum is usually simplified over the room temperature gas phase spectrum. Moreover, the vibrational frequencies are only mildly perturbed by solid state effects. For example, CF Se has not been observed in the vapor phase, yet its vibrational dynamics are known from its matrix isolation spectrum. Table 9 gives the vibrational data for the carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, seleno-carbonyl and formyl halides.
