  1. 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: •functional groups •structural identity, “fingerprinting” The IR spectra in this evenings talk are from the SDBS data base.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. Vibration levels are quantized, like everything else Like a harmonic oscillator With L-H, L moves most easily Can couple to other springs but heavy atoms can block or minimize this effect From Skoog and West

  7. 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 Can be calculated. One easy approximation is: Bend Stretch k is the “force constant”, like the Hookes Law restoring force for a spring. Known and tabulated for different vibrations Wag (rock) The “reduced mass” where m1, m2 are the masses on either side of vibration

  8. Regions of Frequencies Spectral Region Frequency(Hz) Wavenumber(cm-1) Wavelength (,m) After Table 16-1 of Skoog and West, et al. (Chapter 16)

  9. What kinds of Bonds Absorb in which Regions? Bending is easier than stretching-- happens at lower energy (lower wavenumber) Bond Order is reflected in ordering-- triple>double>single (energy) with single bonds easier than double easier than triple Heavier atoms move slower than lighter ones The k in the frequency equation is in mDyne/Å of displacement Single bond str 3-6 mD/Å Double bond str. 10-12 mD/Å Triple Bond 15-18 mD/Å

  10. The Fundamentals • These oscillating electric dipoles match in frequency the incoming e-field oscillations of IR light. • All the simple possibilities. For n atoms in a molecule; • Linear: 3n – 5 modes • Non-linear: 3n – 6 modes • Example for a methylene,given n=3 antisymmetric symmetric R R H H stretching R H R H R R H H in-plane bending R H R H scissoring rocking While useful, this oversimplifies, since molecular orbital picture requires that atoms can’t vibrate without affecting the rest of the molecule. R R H H out-of-plane R H R H bending wagging twisting

  11. Calculated IR bands for CH2 in formaldehyde Formaldehyde spectrum from: http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/Spectrpy/InfraRed/infrared.htm#ir2 Results generated using B3LYP//6-31G(d) in Gaussian 03W.

  12. Looking at a Spectrum Divide the spectrum in to two regions: 4000 cm-1 1600 cm-1most of the stretching bands, specific functional groups (specific atom pairs). This is the “functional group” region. 1600 cm-1  400 cm-1Many band of mixed origin. Some prominent bands are reliable. This is the “fingerprint” region. Use for comparison with literature spectra. Wavenumber is cm-1=104/()

  13. Nujol (mineral oil) CHCl3 CDCl3 Some IR Media are better than others Nujol, for example wipes out the hydrocarbon region for transparency.. Note that some older IR spectra while they are linear in frequency, the wavelength scale compresses the higher we go, Affects the appearance of spectra, not the line positions.
