Q

spectroscopy

A

study of electromagnetic radiation with matter

- allows most functional groups to be detected rapidly and often full determination of the structure of compounds

Q

molecular spectroscopy

A
  • depend on interaction of molecules with radiation of specific energy
  • absorption of radiation of particular frequencies is characteristic of specific structural units (functional groups)
  • non-destructive with respect to sample
  • IR, UV-Vis, NMR

Q

MS mechanism

A

electron impact: molecule bombarded with high energy electron beam
- ionised molecule (molecular ion) results from expulsion of (usually) one electron and thus is a radical cation
M = M+. + e-
M+. (fragmentation) = other +ve ions + neutral fragments

Q

MS limitation

A
  • can’t distinguish between isomers

- when mass measure to nearest unit value, certain molecular formulae may give same m/z

Q

IR mechanism

A

IR radiation absorption corresponds to vibrational excitation (increasing amplitude of vibration)
- absorption occurs when radiation frequency exactly matches frequency of bond vibration

Q

IR limitations

A
  • same functional groups = similar spectra

- no indication of no. functional groups (length of peak is NOT representative of this - may be due to conc.)

Q

sigma - sigma* in UV-Vis

A

big gap = high energy requirement so realistically never happens
- thus no absorption: light just passes through

Q

compounds with conjugated systems in UV-Vis

A

absorptions at > 200nm

- greater number of double bonds in conjugation = smaller the ∆E and larger the wavelength(max)

21
Q

nuclear spin

A

property that certain nuclei (e.g 1H and 13C) have that make them act like tiny bar magnets

22
Q

presence of field

A

aligned nuclei either with (parallel) or against (antiparallel) the field

23
Q

higher energy alignment

A

aligned against the magnetic field (energy required to keep it this way)

24
Q

excitation from lower to higher energy spin state

A

energy flips the spin state of nuclei when ∆E = hv

25
Q

TMS

A

tetramethylsilane - (CH3)4Si defined as 0∂ or ppm

26
Q

proton decoupled spectra

A

no observation of splitting of signals which would otherwise be seen due to 13C-1H interaction

27
Q

13C general chemical shift range

A

∂0-220

28
Q

sp3 C chemical shift range

A

∂0-90

29
Q

sp2 C chemical shift range

A

∂100-220

30
Q

grey area

A

∂90-100 where you can’t tell whether it’s sp2 or sp3

31
Q

where there’s symmetry

A

no. signals < no. carbons in molecular formula

- present in all monosubstituted benzene rings

32
Q

HNMR no. signals

A

indicate no. unique nuclei
- for monosubstituted benzene, technically there are 3 unique environ. but depending on the substituent 3 H’s may appear on top of each other giving rise to ONE signal (to confirm check how many protons gave rise to the peak)

33
Q

HNMR position of signals

A

shielded vs. deshielded

34
Q

HNMR general chemical shift range

A

∂0-15 with most observed in ∂0-10 range

35
Q

HNMR relationship between H and C

A

what happens to the sp3 C bonded to the H in terms of deshielding also happens to the H
- substituents containing double bonds deshield

36
Q

for H bonded to sp2 C

A

signals at higher ∂

37
Q

HNMR relative areas

A

proportional to no. H giving rise to the signal

  • if only one unique environ. = no relative area = no signal for comparison
  • if sum does not match molecular formula, multiply each by same integer
38
Q

HNMR splitting patterns

A

n+1 lines where n is the no. of vicinal/neighbouring H (3 bonds away)

39
Q

splitting names

A

singlet, doublet, triplet, quartet, pentet etc.
