Vibrational frequencies can shift from normal values due to several factors:
1) Coupled vibrations occur when bond vibrations interact, causing asymmetric and symmetric stretches at different frequencies than isolated bonds.
2) Fermi resonance involves coupling between fundamental and overtone vibrations, splitting peaks between the two modes.
3) Hydrogen bonding lowers frequencies as it strengthens interactions between donor and acceptor groups. Stronger bonding yields greater shifts to lower frequencies.
4) Electronic effects like induction, mesomerism, and field effects influence frequencies by strengthening or weakening bonds.
