INTRODUCTION
 IR-spectroscopy is also called as Vibrational
spectroscopy.
 It is concerned with the study of Absorption of IR
radiation, which results in Vibrational transitions.
 IR spectroscopy is mainly used to Structure elucidation
to dtm the Functional groups. 2
DIFFERENT REGIONS OF IR
Near IR /Overtone region
(0.8 – 2.5µ) (12,500 - 4000/cm)
Mid IR / Vib-Rot region
(2.5 - 15µ) (4000 – 667/cm)
Far IR / Rotation region
(15 - 200µ) (667 – 50/cm)
The absorption of IR radiation can be expressed either in terms of
Wavelength (λ) / in Wave no.
In IR spectra of an org-comp the graph is plotted as
%Transmittance v/s Wave no.

 The Relationship b/w Wavelength & Wave number
 w.k.t… Wave no = reciprocal of wavelength (1 / λ )
 Wave no = 1 / λ = 1 / λ in cm (1μ = 10-4/cm)
 if λ = 2.5μ then ….. Wave no = 1 / 2.5 × 10-4cm
= 4000/cm
 if λ = 15μ then….. Wave no = 1/ 15 × 10-4cm
= 667/cm

CRITERIA FOR A MOLECULE TO SHOW IR
ABSORPTION SPECTRUM
1. Dipole movement : A molecule can absorb IR radiation only
when it’s absorption causes a change in it’s Dipole movement.
2. Correct Wavelength of Radiation : A molecule can absorb IR
radiation only when the applied Infrared frequency is equal to
the Natural frequency of vibration of that molecule
5
PRINCIPLE
 The technique is based on the simple fact that a chemical substance
shows marked absorption in the IR region of the electromagnetic
spectrum.
 After absorption of the IR radiation, the molecule of a chemical
substance Vibrates at many rates of vibration giving rise to close packed
Bands called the IR absorption spectra .
 Various bands will be present in the IR spectra which will corresponds to
the characteristic Functional groups & bonds present in the chemical
substance.
6
THEORY
 Absorption in the IR region is due to the changes in the
Vibrational & Rotational levels
 In IR spectroscopy the absorbed energy brings about predominant
changes in the Vibrational energy which depends on :
1. Masses of the atoms present in the molecule
2. Strength of the bond
3. The arrangement of atoms within the molecule.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY :
 The value of the Stretching Vibrational frequency of a Bond can be
calculated by using Hooke’s Law :
 V = 1 / 2 C [ K(m1+m2) / m1 . m2 ]1/2
 V = 1 / 2 C [ K / m1 . m2 / (m1+m2) ]1/2
Where …. C = velocity of radiation (2.998×1010cm/sec)
K = force constant = strength of the bond
i.e.… for single bond = 5 × 105g/sec2
for double bond = 10 × 105g/sec2
for triple bond = 15 × 105g/sec2
m1 & m2 = Mol. Wt. of atoms m1 & m2
11
DEGREE OF FREEDOM
 Polyatomic molecules exhibits more than one fundamental
Vibrational absorption bands these bands is related to
degrees of freedom in a molecule.
 Each atom has 3-degrees of freedom corresponds to the 3 co-
ordinates (X,Y,Z) which is necessary to describe the position
relative to other atom in a molecule.
 When a atom combine to form a molecule, no degree of
freedom is lost, i.e., the total no. of degree of freedom of a
molecule will be Equal to 3n where…n = no. of atoms in a
molecule.
12
 A molecule of finite dimension is made up of Rotational,
Vibrational & Translational degree of freedom. So…
3n degree of freedom = Translational + Rotational + Vibrational
 For LINEAR molecules : of n atoms …..
 Total degree of freedom = 3n
 Translation degree of freedom = 3
 Rotational degree of freedom = 2
Hence Vibration degree of freedom = 3n – 3 – 2 = 3n – 5
13
 Each Vib degree of freedom corresponds to the fundamental
mode of Vib & each fundamental mode corresponds to the
band.
 Hence theoretically for linear molecules their will be 3n-5
fundamental bands
 Ex : for Linear molecule : CO2
No of atoms = 3
Total degree of freedom = 3 × 3 = 9
Translational degree of freedom = 3
Rotational degree of freedom = 2
Hence Vibrational degree of freedom = 9 – 3 – 2 = 4
Hence theoretically CO2 should have 4 fundamental bands.
14
 For NON-LINEAR molecules : of n atoms …..
In non-linear molecules, there are three degree of rotation as
the rotation about all three axes (X,Y,Z) will result in change
in position. Hence it can be calculated as follows :
 Total degree of freedom = 3n
 Translation degree of freedom = 3
 Rotational degree of freedom = 3
Hence Vibration degree of freedom = 3n – 3 – 3 = 3n – 6
15
 Ex : for Non-Linear molecule : C6H6
No of atoms = 12
Total degree of freedom = 3 × 12 = 36
Translational degree of freedom = 3
Rotational degree of freedom = 3
Hence Vibrational degree of freedom = 36 – 3 – 3 = 30
Hence theoretically C6H6 should have 30 fundamental bands.
16
FACTORS INFLUENCING VIBRATIONAL
FREQUENCIES
Coupled vibrations &
Fermi Resonance
Electronic Effect
Hydrogen Bonding
Bond Angles
17
COUPLED VIBRATIONS & FERMI RESONANCE
 In case of isolated C-H bond there will be one stretching vibration is
observed,
 But… in case of Methylene (-CH2-) two absorption occur, i.e., one is
Symmetric & another is Asymmetric.
 In such cases asymmetric vibrations always occur at higher wave no
compared with the symmetric vibrations.
 These are called Coupled Vibrations since these occur at different
frequencies than that rq for an isolated C-H stretching. 18
 Similarly in methyl(-CH3-) group coupled vibrations takes place at
different frequencies compared to -CH2- groups
 some times there may be two different vibrations which have nearly
same energy. If such vibrations belongs to same species then a
mutual perturbation of energy may occur,
 This resulting shift of one towards lower frequency and another
towards higher frequency. Hence there will be increasing intensity
of respective band.
 Some times it may happen that the energy of overtone level may
coincide with fundamental mode of different vibrations. Hence there
may be a resonance occurs, this type of resonance is called Fermi
resonance.
19
 Here, a molecule transfer its energy from fundamental to overtone
and back again.
 Hence resonance pushes the two levels apart and mixes their
character so that each level becomes partly fundamental and overtone
in character.
 This type of resonance gives rise to a pair of transitions of equal
intensity
 For Eg : n-butyl vinyl ether…… the overtone of the fundamental
vibrations is at 810/cm, their may be chance to coincide with the band
at 1640/cm.
 Hence their will be mixing of the two bands in accordance with Fermi
resonance & gives 2-bands of equal intensity at 1640/cm & 1630/cm
20
ELECTRONIC EFFECT
 The frequency shifts are due to the electronic effect which includes
 Under the influence of these effects , the force constant / the bond
strength changes & it’s absorption frequency shifts from normal value.
 For Ex : Acetone(CH3COCH3) = 1715/cm
Chloroacetone(CH3COCH2Cl) = 1725/cm
Dichloroacetone(CH3COCHCl2) = 1740/cm
 The introduction of electronegative group causes –I effect which results
in bond order to increase, thus the force const increases & hence the
wave no of absorption increases.
Inductive effect
Mesomeric effect
Field effect
21
 Introduction of alkyl group causes +I lengthening / weakening of
the bond absorption at lower wave no.
 In most of cases , Mesomeric effect works along with Inductive
effect
 Conjugation lowers the absorption frequency of C=O stretching
whether the conjugation is due to α, β - unsaturation / due to an
aromatic ring.
 In some cases Inductive effect dominates over Mesomeric effect.
 Mesomeric effect causes lengthening / the weakening of a bond
leading in the lowering of absorption of frequency
22
HYDROGEN BONDING
 Hydrogen bonding brings about remarkable downward frequency
shift.
 Stronger the Hydrogen bonding, greater is the absorption shift
towards lower wave no than the normal value.
 In IR technique Hydrogen bonding are of 2 types :
1. Intermolecular H2 bonding : give rise to broad bands.
2. Intramolecular H2 bonding : give rise to sharp & well defined
bands.
INTERMOLECULAR H2 BONDING :
 These are conc. dependent. On dilution , the intensity of such
bands are independent of conc.
 The absorption frequency difference b/w free & associated
molecule is higher
23
INTRAMOLECULAR H2 BONDING :
 These are observed in dil soln of di- & polyhydroxy
compounds in CCl4. Where no intermolecular H2 bonds are
formed.
 In such condition it was observed that a no of cyclic &
acyclic diols have 2 bands & other have single band in the O-
H stretching mode region.
 The spectrum of glycol in dil CCl4 shows 2-bands at wave
no’s : 3644/cm & at 3612/cm.
 Here the band at 3644/cm is due to free O-H bond….. where
as the band at 3612/cm is due to O-H…O bonding
24
BOND ANGLES
 In cyclobutanones the frequency is rises due to C=O bond,
this can be explained by using Bond angles.
 If the bond angle is reduce below the normal angle 1200C it
will leads to increase in s-character in C=O bond.
 Greater s-character causes shortening of C=O bond thus C=O
str occurs at higher frequency
 If the bond angle is above 1200C then their will be opp effect.
Due to this reason, di-tetra-butyl absorbs at (1697/cm) low
frequency 25
