Molecular Vibrations
1. Absorption of infrared radiation corresponds to energy
changes on the order of 8-40 KJ/mole (2-10 Kcal/mole
2. The frequencies in this energy range correspond to the
stretching and bending frequencies of the covalent
bonds with dipole moments.
3. Stretching (requires more energy than bending)
a. Symmetrical
b. Asymmetrical
4. Bending
a. Scissoring (in-plane bending)
b. Rocking
(in-plane bending)
c. Wagging
(out-of-plane bending)
d. Twisting
(out of plane bending)

Aromatic Ring Absorptions
Aromatic unsaturated C=C bonds show an absorption
on the left side of 3000 cm-1, but the aromaticity must
be verified in the overtone region (1667 - 2000cm-1) and
the out-of-plane (OOP) region (900 - 690 cm-1)
Medium to strong absorption in region 1650 - 1450 cm -1
Many weak combination and overtone absorptions
appear between 2000 and 1667 cm-1
The relative shapes and numbers (1 - 4) of the overtone
absorptions can be used to tell whether the aromatic
ring is monosubstituted or di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or
hexasubstituted.
Positional (ortho-, meta-, para-) isomers can also be
distinguished.
Note: A strong carbonyl absorption can overlap these
ovetone bands, making them unusable.
Step 3 (Cont)
Aromatic Ring Absorptions (Cont)
The unsaturated =C-H Out-of-Plane (OOP) bending
absorptions in the region 900 690 can also be used
to determine the type of ring substitution.
The number of absorptions and their relative positions
are unique to each type of substitution.
Although these absorptions are in the fingerprint
region they are particularly reliable for rings with alkyl
group substitutions.
They are less reliable for polar substituents.

IR spectra of liquids.
IR spectra of liquid compounds may be obtained either
from the neat liquid or from a solution of the liquid in an
appropriate solvent. It is generally desirable to obtain the
spectrum from the neat liquid, if possible, since
interference by solvent absorption is thereby avoided.
IR spectra of solids.
- The Mull Method. In this method, the solid sample is
thoroughly ground up, using an agate mortar and pestle,
with a weakly absorbing, non-volatile liquid to form a
thick paste, called a mull.
- The KBr pellet Method. In this method, the solid sample
is finely pulverized with pure, dry KBr, the mixture is
pressed in a hydraulic press to form a transparent pellet,
and the spectrum of the pellet is measured.
