Properties. Thienamycin is isolated as a colorless, hygroscopic, zwitterionic soHd, although the majority of carbapenems have been obtained as sodium salts and, in the case of the sulfated olivanic acids, as disodium salts (12). Concentrated aqueous solutions of the carbapenems are generally unstable, particularly at low pH. AH the substituted natural products have characteristic uv absorption properties that are often used in assay procedures. The ir frequency of the P-lactam carbonyl is in the range 1760 1790 cm . ...

The sites for complex formation in DMSO with inorganic salts depend remarkably on the nature of the metals involved in the salts. The alkali or alkali earth metallic salts form a complex with the oxygen atom in DMSO while Pd(II) or Pt(II) associates strongly at the sulphur atom. The IR frequency of the S—O bond of DMSO shifts to even lower wave numbers when associated with such metal cations as Li+, Na+ or Ca+ +34. On the other hand, in the case of Pd(II) or Pt(II), the S—O frequency appears at higher wave numbers, at around llOO-llAOcm 135. These different shifts for the S—O frequency afford a convenient diagnosis to determine whether the cation associates with the oxygen or the sulphur atom in DMSO. 

A similar quantitative treatment of sulphoxides as hydrogen bonding acceptors has been obtained by comparing the IR frequency shift AvOH of the C—I bond in an acetylenic iodide such as IC=CI (Avc j) due to formation of a C—T complex with phenol in various bases. This investigation suggests that sulphoxides belong to the same family as carbonyls, phosphine oxides, arsine oxides and their derivatives90.

The Hammett equation has also been shown to apply to many physical measurements, including IR frequencies and NMR chemical shifts. The treatment is reasonably successful whether the substrates are attacked by electrophilic, nucleophilic, or free-radical reagents, the important thing being that the mechanism be the same within a given reaction series.

From the above equation, it is clear that PijR takes a maximum value when the IR frequency is in resonance with the molecular vibration, that is, cOir = (Oq, and only the molecular vibration, which is both IR- and Raman-active is SFG-active. 

Drago and coworkers have also calculated the enthalpy values for the formation of many complexes or hydrogen bonds by NMR and calorimetric techniques. For example, in a series of phenols or t-BuOH, they observed the IR frequency shifts (Avqh) of the hydroxyl compounds and found that a linear relationship exists between bases and individual acids. In Table 7 shows some AH values calculated by equation 2, and Avqh values of t-BuOH" " while in Table 8 frequency data Avq of various substituted phenols and the AH values are given. 

The hyperpolarizability tensor is obtained in a way similar to the case of SHG. However, the selection rules for an SFG resonance at the IR frequency implies that the vibrational mode is both IR and Raman active, as the SF hyperpolarizability tensor elements involve both an IR absorption and a Raman-anti-Stokes cross-section. Conversely, the DFG hyperpolarizability tensor elements involve an IR absorption and a Raman-Stokes cross-section. The hyperpolarizability tensor elements can be written in a rather compact form involving several vibrational excitations as [117] ...

An absorption spectrum is a plot that shows how well dilferent frequencies of light couple to excitations in the sample. It is conventional to convert the units for frequency (v) from Hertz to wave numbers (cm-1) by dividing v by the speed of light (c). IR frequencies are characteristic of certain bonds in molecules and can thus be used to identify species on surfaces. Correlation charts are available which permit assignments of particular molecular species to certain IR frequencies.
