IR Spectroscopy Problem Set 1

Infrared spectroscopy is used to identify organic compounds by measuring the frequencies of infrared radiation they absorb. Each compound absorbs specific frequencies corresponding to the stretching and bending vibrations of its chemical bonds. By analyzing the absorption bands in a compound's IR spectrum, one can determine the functional groups present and identify the compound. This document provides an IR spectroscopy problem set asking students to match IR spectra to structures, label peaks, and identify functional groups.

Problem Set 3 IR Spectroscopy 80

CHEM 3012 - Spring 2009 Name ______________________________


Organic Chemistry Laboratory I

Problem Set 3 Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy is the measure of the amount of radiation
absorbed by compounds within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The
absorption of infrared radiation is a quantized process, which means only selected
frequencies (energies) of infrared radiation are absorbed by a molecule. Each absorption
band corresponds to energy changes related to the two types of vibration, stretching and
bending of chemical bonds, in covalent molecules. From these absorption bands, or
peaks in the spectrum, the presence or absence of certain functional groups of a
compound can be determined.

For this problem set:
a) Match the four structures with the four IR spectra in each set. Use a table of
specific IR absorptions for various functional groups to help you identify
the structures.

b) Indicate and label the important peaks in each spectrum by drawing the type of
bond next to its corresponding peak.

c) Label all the functional groups that are present in each compound.

d) Show your work.
