SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF IR ABSORPTION BANDS

Wavenumber, cm-1 Intensity Structure

730 - 770; 690 - 710 m Mono (aromatic)

1090 - 1400 s C  O (in ethers, alcohols and esters)

1315 - 1475 m-s C  H (in alkanes)

C = C bond in aromatic ring (usually shows

1450 - 1600 s
several peaks)

1620 - 1680 m C=C

2100 - 2200 m CC

1690 - 1750 s C = O (in carbonyl compounds and esters)

1740 - 1725 s C = O (in aldehydes)

1700 - 1730 s C = O (in carboxylic acids)

1320 - 1210 m C  O (in carboxylic acids)

2760 - 2700
w C  H (of aldehyde group, a pair of bands)
2860 - 2800

2400 - 3400 s, vb O  H in COOH

3000 - 3100 m C  H (C is part of aromatic ring)

3300 s C  H (sp)

3020 - 3080 m C  H (sp2)

2800 - 3000 m-s C  H (sp3)

3200 - 3600 s, b O  H (in H-bonded ROH and ArOH)

Intensities:
s = strong m = medium w = weak b = broad vb = very broad

h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.s

c = 3.00 x 108 ms-1
