IR and UV spec Flashcards
What is the order of the frequency values for carbonyl compounds from lowest to highest?
Amide Carboxylic acid Ketone Aldehyde Ester Anhydride Acid chloride Anhydride
What are the electron withdrawing effects in carbonyl compounds?
Electron withdrawing group tends to draw electrons into the c=o bond which strengthens the bond and increases the frequency
What is the resonance effect in carbonyl compounds?
unpaired electron on nitrogen conjugates with C=O
If there is more single bond character, lowers frequency
What is the wavelength for the UV vis spec?
190nm to 800nm
What governs which transitions are observed?
The selection rules
What is the beer-lambert law equation?
A = e C l
What orbital transitions are seen in R-OH? What is the typical e value?
n - > sigma star
300 M-1 cm-1
What orbital transitions are seen in R-O-R? What is the typical e value?
n - > sigma star
3000 M-1 cm-1
What orbital transitions are seen in R-SH? What is the typical e value?
n -> sigma star
1000 M-1 cm-1
What orbital transitions are seen in R-NO2? What is the typical e value?
n -> pi star
<10 M-1 cm-1
What is the hyper chromic effect?
Increase in absorbance
What is the hypo chromic effect?
Decrease in absorbance
What is the bathochromic shift? (red shift)
The shift to a longer wavelength
What is the hypsochromic shift? (blue shift)
The shift to a shorter wavelength
Why does the hyper chromic effect occur?
Introduction of an auxochrome usually increases the intensity of absorption
