Stretching frequency spectra

Figure Bl.22.8. Sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectra in the C N stretching region from the air/aqueous acetonitrile interfaces of two solutions with different concentrations. The solid curve is the IR transmission spectrum of neat bulk CH CN, provided here for reference. The polar acetonitrile molecules adopt a specific orientation in the air/water interface with a tilt angle that changes with changing concentration, from 40° from the surface nonnal in dilute solutions (molar fractions less than 0.07) to 70° at higher concentrations. This change is manifested here by the shift in the C N stretching frequency seen by SFG [ ]. SFG is one of the very few teclnhques capable of probing liquid/gas, liquid/liquid, and even liquid/solid interfaces.

Gutmann s donor number taken from ref 207b, based upon AHr for the process of coordination of an isolated solvent molecule to the moderately hard SbCL molecule in dichioroethane. ° Bulk donor number calculated as described in ref 209 from the solvent effect on the adsorption spectrum of VO(acac)2. Taken from ref 58, based on the NMR chemical shift of triethylphosphine oxide in the respective pure solvent.

Section 16 18 An H—C—O—C structural unit m an ether resembles an H—C—O—H unit of an alcohol with respect to the C—O stretching frequency m its infrared spectrum and the H—C chemical shift m its H NMR spectrum Because sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen the H and chemical shifts of H—C—S—C units appear at higher field than those of H—C—O—C... 

Comparison of UV data for 3-aminoisothiazoles with those of reference compounds confirms that they exist in the 3-amino form. A more recent investigation of 4-aminoisothiazole (76MI41701) using deuterium exchange experiments of the type described in Section 4.01.5.2, and analysis of the symmetric and antisymmetric NH2 stretching frequencies in its IR spectrum, show that this compound also exists in the 4-amino form. 

The role of IR spectroscopy in the early penicillin structure studies has been described (B-49MI51103) and the results of more recent work have been summarized (B-72MI51101). The most noteworthy aspect of a penicillin IR spectrum is the stretching frequency of the /3-lactam carbonyl, which comes at approximately 1780 cm" This is in contrast to a linear tertiary amide which absorbs at approximately 1650 cm and a /3-lactam which is not fused to another ring (e.g. benzyldethiopenicillin), which absorbs at approximately 1740 cm (the exact absorption frequency will, of course, depend upon the specific compound and technique of spectrum determination). The /3-lactam carbonyl absorptions of penicillin sulfoxides and sulfones occur at approximately 1805 and 1810 cm respectively. The high absorption frequency of the penicillin /3-lactam carbonyl is interpreted in terms of the increased double bond character of that bond as a consequence of decreased amide resonance, as discussed in the X-ray crystallographic section. Other aspects of the penicillin IR spectrum, e.g. the side chain amide absorptions at approximately 1680 and 1510 cm and the carboxylate absorption at approximately 1610 cm are as expected. 

The axial C—H bonds are weaker flian the equatorial C—H bonds as can be demonstrated by a strongly shifted C—H stretching frequency in the IR spectrum. Axial C-2 and C-6 methyl groins lower the ionization potential of the lone-pair electrons on nitrogen substantially more than do equatorial C-2 or C-6 methyl groups. Ehscuss the relationship between these observations and provide a rationalization in terms of qualitative MO theory. 

A criterion for the position of the extent of the mesomerism of type 9 is given by the bond order of the CO bond, a first approximation to W hich can be obtained from the infrared spectrum (v C=0). Unfortunately, relatively little is known of the infrared spectra of amide anions. How-ever, it can be assumed that the mesomeric relationships in the anions 9 can also be deduced from the infrared spectra of the free amides (4), although, of course, the absolute participation of the canonical forms a and b in structures 4 and 9 is different. If Table I is considered from this point of view, the intimate relationship betw-een the position of the amide band 1 (v C=0) and the orientation (0 or N) of methylation of lactams by diazomethane is unmistakeable. Thus the behavior of a lactam tow ard diazomethane can be deduced from the acidity (velocity of reaction) and the C=0 stretching frequency (orientation of methylation). Three major regions can be differentiated (1) 1620-1680 cm h 0-methylation (2) 1680-1720 cm i, O- and A -methylation, w ith kinetic dependence and (3) 1730-1800 em , A -methylation, The factual material in Table I is... 

The spectra of both plutonium compounds have strong absorption bands at 3400 cm-1 and 1600 cm-1 that are interpreted as due to C-H and C=C stretching frequencies. The IR spectrum of has a... 

The V (OCO) ion has a structured electronic photodissociation spectrum, which allows us to measure its vibrational spectrum using vibrationally mediated photodissociation (VMP). This technique requires that the absorption spectrum (or, in our case, the photodissociation spectrum) of vibrationally excited molecules differ from that of vibrationally unexcited molecules. The photodissociation spectrum of V (OCO) has an extended progression in the V OCO stretch, indicating that the ground and excited electronic states have different equilibrium V "—OCO bond lengths. Thus, the OCO antisymmetric stretch frequency Vj should be different in the two states, and the...

When a benzene solution of 10 in the presence of methanol-dy was photolyzed under the same conditions, the products containing both CH3-0 and Si-H groups were again obtained. The IR spectrum of the product shows no absorption due to an Si-D stretching frequencies, indicating that no direct reaction of the photo-excited 10 with methanol is involved. The relative ratio of an Si-H to CH3-O... 

Irradiation of a solid film prepared from the polymer 11 in air afforded photodegradation products which are soluble in 2-ethoxy-ethanol. IR spectra of the products show strong absorption bands attributed to Si-OH and Si-O-Si stretching frequencies. In contrast to the products from 10, these products show absorption due to the Si-H bond. This result indicates that some of the silenes would be formed in this system. The intense absorption at 254 nm in the UV spectrum again disappeared after UV-irradiation.
