INFRARED SPECTRA INTERPRETATION
When analysing the spectra of unknown compound , concentrate first on determining the presence or absence of few major functional group .
The C=O , O-H , C-O , C=C , C≡C , C≡N, and NO2 peaks are the most conspicuous and give immediate structural information if they are present.
3
1.Look if carbonyl group (C = O) is present?The C = O group gives strong absorption in the region 1820-1600cm-1 , the peak is strong and medium width.
2. If C=O is present , check for the presence of the following groups:
(I) Acid
(ii) Amides
(iii) Ester
(iv) Anhydrides
(v) Aldehydes
(vi) ketones
4
3. If C=O is absent
i. Alcohol
ii. Phenols
iii. Amines
iv. Ether

4. Double bond and / or aromatic ring :
(i) C=C is a weak absorption near 1650 cm-1 .
(ii) Medium to strong absorption in the region of 1600 - 1550cm-1
often imply an aromatic ring.
(iii) Confirm the double bond or aromatic ring by consulting the C-H region , if C-H stretch occurs to the left of 3000cm-1 ,then it is aromatic or vinyl . If C-H stretch occurs to right of 3000cm-1 then it is aliphatic.

5. Triple bond :
(i) C ≡ N is a medium sharp peak near 2250cm-1
(ii) C ≡ C is a weak sharp peak near 2150 cm-1
(iii) Check also for acetylinic C-H near 3300cm-1 , which gives an idea if the triple bond is placed terminally.

6. Nitrogroup :
Two strong absorption at 1600 - 1500cm-1 and 1390 - 1300cm-1
7. Hydrocarbon

HYDROCARBONES:
1.ALKANES:
-They yield four stretching and bending vibration of C-H and C-C bonds.
1 .C - C BENDING VIBRATION :
2. C - H STRETCHING VIBRATION
3. CH3 BENDING VIBRATIONS:
4. CH2 BENDING VIBRATION :
ExampleDecane , cyclohexane

2.ALKENE :
Alkenes show many more peaks than alkanes
(a) = C - H stretch for sp2 C-H occurs at region slightly greater than 3000cm-1
(b) = C - H out of plane (oop) bending occurs in ranges of 1000-650cm-1.
Example:1-hexene, cyclohexene, cis-2-pentene.

12
3.ALKYNES:
Terminali alkyne show prominent peak at about 3300cm-1 for SP hybridized C-H.
≡C – H stretching vibration occurs at 3300cm-1
C≡C stretch occurs near 2150cm-1 this is only for terminal alkynes (absent or very weak for non terminal alkynes)
Example:1-octyne,4-octyne

4.AROMATIC HYDROCOMPOUND:
The C-H stretching for SP2 carbon aapears at value greater than 3000cm-1. since the C-H stretch for alkenes appears in the same range ,it may be difficult to use the C - H stretching bands to differentiate between alkenes and aromatic compounds.
Example: Toluene, o-diethylbenzene ,m-diethylbenzene, p-diethylbenzene, and styrene.

5.ALCOHOL AND PHENOL:
Alcohol and phenol show strong and broad hydrogen bonded O-H stretching bands centering between 3400cm-1 and 3300cm-1. In solution it will also be possible to observe a free O-H stretching band at 3600cm-1.
Example: 1-hexanol,2-butanol,para cresol.
17
18
6.ETHERS:
Ether show prominent C-O stretching band at 1300 to 1000cm-1.
Absence of C=O and O-H is required to ensure that C-O stretch is not due to an ester and phenol .phenyl alkyl ether gives two strong bands at 1250cm-1 and 1040cm-1.
Example: dibutylether, anisole

7.ALDEHYDE:
Aldehydes show a very strong band for C=O that appears in the range of 1740 to 1725cm-1 ,for simple aliphatic aldehydes. This band is shifted to lower frequency with conjugation to a C=C or phenyl group .
EXAMPLE : Nonanal , crotonaldehyde , benzaldehyde.
21
22
8.KETONE:
ketone show a very strong band for c=o group that appears in the range of 1720 to 1708cm-1 for simple aliphatic ketones .this bond is shifted to lower frequency with conjugation to a c=c or phenyl group .ring strain moves the absorption to a higher frequency in cyclic ketones .
An overtones is seen at 3430cm-1
Ex:3-methyl-2-butanone,mesityl oxides,acetophenone,cyclopentanone,2,4-pentanedione.
23
24
9.Carboxylic acid:
It shows very strong bands that appears in the range of 1730-1700cm-1 for simple aliphatic carboxylic acids, this band is shifted to lower frequency conjugation to a C=C or phenyl group.
Example : isobutyric acid
25
26
10.ESTER
Esters show a vey strong band for the C=O group that appears in the range of 1750-1735cm-1 for simple aliphatic esters. The C=O band is shifted to lower frequency when it is conjugated to C=C or phenyl group.
Ex: ethyl butyrate, methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, methyl benzoate, methyl salicylate.
27
28
13.AMIDES
Amides show a very strong band for the C=O group that appears in the range of 1680 to 1630cm-1.
N-H stretch in primary amides (-NH2) gives two bands near 3350cm-1 (asymmetric), and 3180cm-1 (symmetric) secondary amides (-NH) have one band at 3300cm-1. Tertiary amides will not show an N-H stretch because they do not contain N-H.
EX: Propionamide, N-Methylacetamide
29
30
11.ANHYDRIDES
EX: Propionic anhydride.
31
12.AMINES
N-H stretch occurs in the range of 3500-3300cm-1.
Ex: butylamine, dibutylamine, tributylamine, n-methylaniline.
