The Electromagnetic Spectrum
![Page 2: The Electromagnetic Spectrum](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813931550346895da0dac2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• Spectroscopy is a measurement of the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that are absorbed by a molecule.
• For absorption to occur, the energy of the radiation must match the difference between two energy states in the molecule.

• Frequencies are reported in wavenumbers or cm–1
= 1/~
• IR absorptions in organic molecules occur from 4000 cm–1 – 400 cm–1.
Infrared Spectroscopy
• When IR is absorbed vibrational excitation occurs.• Organic chemists prefer to view IR spectra as a plot of
the percent of transmitted light versus wavenumber.

An IR Spectrum
![Page 5: The Electromagnetic Spectrum](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813931550346895da0dac2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Absorption of IR light causes excitation of the vibrational motions available of a molecule. These include bond stretching vibrations and bond bending vibrations.
• The vibrational modes of a molecule are quantized, so they occur only at specific frequencies which correspond to the frequency of IR light.
Bond Vibrations

• The frequency of a bond stretching vibrations depends on the bond strength and the masses of the bonded atoms.
• Stronger bonds vibrate at a higher frequency.
• Bonds with lighter atoms vibrate at higher frequency.

Regions of the IR Spectrum
![Page 8: The Electromagnetic Spectrum](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813931550346895da0dac2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• The IR spectrum has two regions: the functional group region (at 1500 cm-1), and the fingerprint region (at < 1500 cm-1).

Hexane has only C-C single bonds and sp3 hybridized C atoms. Therefore it has only one major absorption at 3000-2850 cm-1.
Alkanes

1-Hexene has a C=C and Csp2-H, in addition to sp3 hybridized C atoms.
Therefore, there are three major absorptions: Csp2-H at 3150-3000 cm-
1; Csp3-H at 3000-2850 cm-1; C=C at 1650 cm-1.
Alkenes

1-Hexyne has a CC and Csp-H, in addition to sp3 hybridized C atoms. Therefore, there are three major absorptions: Csp-H at 3300 cm-1; Csp
3-H at 3000-2850 cm-1; CC at 2250 cm-1.
Alkynes

The OH group of the alcohol shows a strong absorption at 3600-3200 cm-1.

The C=O group in the ketone shows a strong absorption at ~1700 cm-1.
