OCHEM Final Exam
IR Spectra
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 3 parameters we must look at when looking at IR? | 1) Frequency (wavenumber) 2) Intensity (depth) 3) Shape (wide, sharp, etc.) |
| Where is the fingerprint region and what does it show? | 500 - 1500, shows all of the single bonds of w/in a molecule - analysis not often done here |
| What/where is the most important region for analysis? | - 1500 - 3000 - Diagnostic /Functional Group Region |
| 500 - 1500 | Single Bonds (aka Fingerprint Region) |
| 1550 - 1800 | Double Bonds |
| 2000 - 2200 | Triple Bonds |
| 2800 - 4000 | Hydrogen Bonds (NOT IMF, anything bound to Hydrogen) |
| What does a shorter frequency range/ more narrow peak mean? | Less places to bond to - ex: bonding to only one oxygen rather than two |
| 1370 - 1450 | Methyl Group Bends |
| 1050 - 1250 | C-O single bond stretches |
| 2850 - 2960 | Aliphatic C-H stretch |
| 1450 - 1600 | Arene Ring |
| 3200 - 3650 | O-H stretch (alcohol) |
| 3350 - 3500 | N-H stretch |
| 2750 - 2850 | Aldehyde Carbon-Hydrogen Bond (they're a pair, two fangs) |
| 1650 - 1780 | Carbonyl Carbon Oxygen DOUBLE bond stretch |
| 2220 - 2260 | Nitrile triple bond stretch |
