Involves the absorption of light in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum Used primarily to determine what functional groups are present in a molecule
The broad peak at around 3000 cm -1 indicates the presence of a hydroxyl group (OH) The strong, sharp peak at around 1750 cm - 1 indicates the presence of a carbonyl group
Involves the absorption of light in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum Used to determine the level of conjugation in the unknown Conjugation is alternating single and double bonds UV spectroscopy is not very useful in structure elucidation
