Additional Comments
Free (not hydrogen bonded)
OH group
Hydrogen bonded OH group
Dimers of carboxylic acids
1° amines and amides give
two absorptions, 2⁰ - one
Usually two absorptions,
one-2820, another -2720
Might not be visible in internal
alkynes
Always two absorptions

*Angle strain in the carbonyl group, caused by the size of a small ring, increases the frequency of
the absorption position of the C=0 bond of cyclic ketones; in cyclohexanone the absorption shows
at 1715 cm-¹, in cyclopentanone at 1750 cm-¹, and in cyclobutanone at 1785 cm-¹.
