Concept introduction:
IR spectroscopy enables us to identify different functional groups in the molecule.
One of the greatest advantages of IR spectroscopy is that the frequency of a particular type of vibration is typically found within a characteristic range of frequencies regardless of the functional group with which the vibration is associated. The fact that absorptions by certain vibrations appear with characteristic frequency ranges enables us to use IR spectroscopy to obtain structural information about a molecule. The conjugated

- Show that a 1,2-methyl shift involving (CH3)3CC+HCH3 is allowed.arrow_forwardShow why the wavenumber frequency for D2 for the symmetric stretch is 2990 cm-1, whereas that of H2 is 4401 cm-1? What does that tell you about the bond strength of H2 relative to that of D2? Hint: D is a heavier isotope of Hydrogenarrow_forwardHow many signals (peaks) are found for the H atom on the tertiary carbon of 2-methylpropane, due to spin-spin splitting? 1 , 2, 4 ,8 , or 10 ?arrow_forward
- Q1. Why is it common to use CCl4 as a solvent in IR spectroscopy? Q3. After completion of the previous reaction, you end up seeing the following peaks: 3300 cm-1 (broad intense peak), 3060-3040 cm-1 (2 medium intensity peaks), 3030-3020-3010 cm-1 (3 small peaks), 1640 cm-1 (low intensity peak), 1585 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 1410 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 1100 cm-1 (strong intensity peak), 1010 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 900-690 (many peaks, medium intensities). Give the molecular structure of the actual final product for the previous reaction. (Hint: it is not a carboxylic acid, nor the ketone previously drawn.) Q4. You want to take the IR spectrum of acetylene. How would you prepare your sample? Mention all important details of the sample preparation (no need to describe the acquisition).arrow_forwardThe beer-lambert law is A = εlc, where A is the absorbance, ε is the molar extinction coefficient, l is the path lengh in cm and C is the concentration. The beer lambert law can be expressed in the form of y=mx + b, where A is y, and C is x.What is b and how is it used to calculate the final absorbance?arrow_forwardThis problem deals with fluorescence and phosphorescence. (a) Someone says that when the quantum yield of molecule (donor) is reduced to 50% of its original value because of the presence of a quencher (acceptor) allowing fluorescent resonance energy transfer, then (i) the efficiency of FRET is 50%, and (ii) the distance between donor and acceptor is 50% of R0. Support these claims if they are true. Correct these claims if they are false. (b) Five mini questions. (i) Fluorescence combines which two of the following transitions: electronic, vibrational, rotational? (ii) Which is helped more by heavy atoms in the emitting molecule: fluorescence, phosphorescence?(iii) The Frank-Condon principle plays a role in which process: absorption, vibrational relaxation, intersystem crossing? (iv) What type of shift is observed for fluorescence: redshift, blueshift? (v) Selection rules indicate that which process is forbidden: fluorescence, phosphorescence, both, neither?arrow_forward
