Lecture 7: Vibrational Spectra

Vibrational Spectra
Molecules are not Static
Vibration of bonds occurs in the liquid, solid and gaseous phase
Vibrating  Energy  Frequency (and the appropriate frequencies
for molecular vibrations are in the Infrared region of the
electromagnetic spectrum
Vibrations form therefore, a fundamental basis for spectroscopy in
chemistry--the bonds are what makes the chemistry work in structure
and function
For Organic Chemistry the most important uses of these vibrations is
for analysis of:
The IR spectra in this
•functional groups
evenings talk are from
•structural identity, “fingerprinting” the SDBS data base.
Tonight’s lecture
Infrared Spectroscopy for Structure Determination
A little theory
Some notes on sampling
Defer discussion of instrumentation
Defer discussion of solids analysis
Lots of examples, working through trends in
related structure classes
How to interpret, use data.
Some Perspective
IR’s are not as thoroughly interpretable as NMR, Mass Spec
Lacks the quantitative character on atom-atom basis that NMR
has. (all the chromophores are not equal)
Not used as much for identification as NMR and MS have
become more accessible
Still very useful for confirmation of structure cf. Reference
spectra.
Diagnostic for functional groups that may be silent or
ambiguous in the NMR
Quite sensitive, and can measure in all sorts of strange matrix
e.g on surfaces, extremely useful for solid state
characterization.
Infrared vs. Raman
These two spectroscopies measure the same thing, vibrations,
in different ways.
IR is a absorption measurement, while Raman measures
scattered light from a laser source, that in being scattered, is
superimposed with the vibrational structure of the molecule.
The selection rules are different--IR bands are active if in the
act of the vibration, the dipole moment of the molecule
changes. Raman band are active if the polarizability of the
molecule changes.
Often these two are complementary to each other
Molecules of high symmetry frequently will not show IR
activity
IR Measurement
Neat film, or melt between two sodium chloride plates
Solid solution in KBr, ground together and pressed into a
transparent pellet
Solution with appropriate blank region of solvent. Solution
IR can be used to minimize broadening from self-association,
H-bonding.
Salt plates of CsCl2 for lower frequency window
transparency (down to 200 cm-1)
Mulling (grinding with mineral oil as dispersion), spread on
salt plate
Many different reflectance techniques, light must pass into
the sample and reflect out.
Vibration levels are quantized,
like everything else
Like a harmonic oscillator
With L-H, L moves most easily
From Skoog and West
Can couple to other springs but heavy atoms can
block or minimize this effect
What Kind of vibrations are These?
Bonds can…….
These can number into the
hundreds.

Some are symmetrical, some
antisymmetrical and many are
coupled across the molecule

Looking at a Spectrum
Divide the spectrum in to two regions:
4000 cm-1 1600 cm-1 most of the stretching bands,
specific functional groups
(specific atom pairs). This is the
“functional group” region.
1600 cm-1  400 cm-1 Many band of mixed origin. Some
prominent bands are reliable. This
is the “fingerprint” region. Use
for comparison with literature

Wavenumber is cm-1=104/()

STRONG!!!
Good rules to remember…
C=O conjugated to double bond goes lower in frequency
With electronegative substituent (O, Cl) goes to higher frequency
C=O in strained ring, goes to higher frequency
