1. Enterpretation of IR-spectra
Tables and charts
Assigning functional groups

2. Kort repetisjon/Short summery:
IR er meget godt egnet til identifisering av funksjonelle grupper.
IR is well suited for identification of functional groups
Funksjoneller grupper har karakteristiske absorbsjoner
Functional groups have characteristic absorptions
Absorbsjoner fra funksjonelle grupper er vanligvis relativt konstant
Absorption-frequencies from functional groups are relative constant
Symmetriske molekyler er inaktive for de frekvenser som tilsvarer symmetrisk strekk
Symmetrical molecules are inactive for symmeterical stretching frequencies

3. Alkanes C-H-stretch for CH2-groups in hydrocarbones
occur in three areas:
Two bands at 2966 og 2853 (s)
Two band at 1375 og 1450 (m)
One band at 720 (not always)
Branching has no significant influence.
Ring strain increases C-H stretching frequency. Cyclo-
propanes : 3100 – 2990.

5. Alkenes Non conjugated system :
Mono substituted : C=C stretch at 1640 (m to w)
Di(trans)-, tri- og tetra-substituted: C=C stretch at 1670
(weak if symmetry)
Disubstituted cis (also cyclic): C=C ved 1650
Conjugated system:
Often two C=C bands at 1650 og 1600 (of unsymmetric)
Conjugation with aromat gives C=C strekk ved 1625
C-H stretch generally over 3000.

7. Alkynes C-H stretch for mono substituted 3333 – 3267 (s)
Broad absorption at 700 – 610
Triple bond stretch at 2260 – 2100 (m to w)
No or low absorption if symmetric molecule

9. Aromatics Aromatic C-H stretch at 3000 – 3100 (s)
C-H bend at 900 – 675 (often strong and informative)
C-C stretch at 1600 – 1585 and 1500 – 1400 (m)
Overtones and combination tones at 2000 – 1650 (w)

11. Alcoholes og Phenoles Characterized by O-H og O-C stretch
”Free” O-H stretch at 3650 – 3584 (sharp)
H-bondet O-H stretch at 3550 – 3200 (s, broad)
C-O stretch at 1260 – 1000 (s)

14. Ethers and epoxides Alifatic C-O stretch ved 1115 – 1085
Aryl alkyl ethers at 1275 – 1200 and

16. C=O stretch Ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, lactones,
acid halides, anhydrides, amides og laktames : All have
C=O stretch in the area 1870 – 1540 which are relatively
constant and easily recognizable. The frequency depends on:
Phase (solid, liquid or gas)
Elektronic and mass effects by neighbor substituent
Conjugation
Hydrogen bonding
Ring strain

17. Ketones Standard value for keton C=O stretch is 1715 (s)
Conjugation gives delocalisation and reduction
of C=O dobbel bond character. Weaker bond gives
lower frequency. Conjugation with alken or aromat
give C=O stretch at 1685 – 1666
Polar solvents reduce C=O stretch a little (5 – 15)
Beta-diketones give keto-enol equil. and broad bands
Ring strain increases C=O strekk (1775 for 4 ring)
Electronegative alfa subs. increase frequency

20. Aldehydes Alifatic aldehyde C=O stretch at 1740 – 1720 (s)
Electronegative substituents on alfa C increase frequency
Conjugation give C=O stretch at 1710 – 1685
H-bonding reduce the C=O frequency
C-H stretch at 2830 – 2695
A medium strong abs. at C=O stretch give aldehyde

22. Carboxylic acids Dominenated by O-H stretch at 3300 – 2500 (H-bondet)
Predominately dimers except at very low consentration
C=O stretch for monomer vat 1760 (s)
C=O stretch for dimer ved
Conjugation gives C=O stretch at
C=O stretch for carboxylate anion at 1650 – 1550 og 1400.

25. Esters and lactones Alifatic C=O stretch at 1750 – 1735 (s)
Conjugation give C=O stretch ved 1730 – 1715
C-O stretch at 1300 – 1000 (s)

27. Carboxylic anhydrides
Characterized by 2 C=O stretch at 1818 og 1750 (s)
Conjugation give 2 C=O stretch ved 1775 og 1720
Ring strain increases the frequency

29. Nitriles Alifatic C-N triple bond stretch at 2260 – 2240 (m)
Conjugation give reduction to

31. Amines Primary amines give 2 bands at 3500 og 3400 (w)
Secondary amines give 1 band at 3350 – 3310

N-H bending at 1650 – 1580 (m)

33. Amides Amide C=O stretch at 1650 (s) N-H bending at 1655 – 1620 (m)
N-H stretch ved 3520 – 3400 (2 bands for primary amide)
Ring strain (lactames) increase C=O stretch frequency
