CONCEPT: PURPOSE OF ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES Classical Methods (Wet Chemistry): Chemists needed to run dozens of chemical reactions to determine the type of molecules in a compound. EXAMPLE: Tollen s Test Instrumental Methods (Dry Chemistry): Expensive scientific instruments investigate the properties of molecules. EXAMPLE: 1 H NMR Page 2
CONCEPT: IR SPECTROSCOPY- GENERAL FEATURES IR Spectroscopy is a chemical analytical method that uses differing frequencies of infrared light to detect predictable types of chemical bonds in molecules. The frequencies will cause certain bonds to Stretching, Twisting, Wagging, Scissoring, etc. If the molecule is symmetrical, e.g. N2, the band is not observed in the IR spectrum. Major regions of absorption Common IR Ranges 3200 3600 -OH Strong, Broad 3300 -NH Peaks = H s SP3 = 2900 3000 SP2 = 3000 3150 SP = 3150-3300 -CH 2200-2300 C C C N Choppy Medium, Sharp 1700 C=O Very Strong, Sharp 1650 C=C Medium, Sharp Page 3
