IR Spectroscopy Flashcards
What is the IR stretch of a N-H bond?
3150-3300 cm-1
What is the IR stretch for a O-H bond?
3600-3000 cm-1
What is the IR stretch for C-H bonds?
3000 cm-1
What is the IR stretch for triple bonds e.g. C-C or C-N triple bonds?
2200 cm-1
What is the IR stretch for double bonds C=O and C=C?
C=O 1650-1800 cm-1
C=C 1640 cm-1
What is the IR stretch for aromatic C=C bonds?
1500-1600 cm-1
What is the X-H or single bond region!
4000-2500 cm-1
What are there two N-H absorptions?
- Because of symmetrical and antisymmetrical vibrations
* antisymmetric vibrations are slightly lower in energy
What effect does increasing s-character have on the C bond strength?
An increasing s-character at C increases the bond strength
What is the triple bond region in an IR spectra?
2500-2000 cm-1
What is the double bond region?
2000-1500 cm-1
What increases the strength of an Alkenes signal?
An Alkene signal is stronger if the Alkene is conjugated (polarisation)
What is the carbonyl region?
1800-1650 cm-1
What is the key peak of absorbance for a ketone?
1710 cm-1
What is the key absorbance for an aldehyde?
1730 cm-1
