Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the measurement and
interpretation of EMR absorbed or emitted,
when the organic molecule or atoms or ions of a
sample move from one energy state to another.
5
Definition
IR spectroscopy can be defined as a method for
the identification of substances based on their
absorption of IR wavelength.

Theory
• IR radiation in the range 10,000- 100 cm-1 is
absorbed.
• Frequency of absorption depends on relative
masses, the force constant, and geometry of
atoms.
• Converted to energy of molecular vibration.
• The absorption is quantized.
1. Dipole moment-
▫ To absorb IR, a molecule must undergo net change
in dipole moment as it vibrate.
▫ Electric field of radiation can interact with
molecule- change amplitude of vibration.
▫ Eg: Hydrochloride.
1. Correct wavelength
▫ Applied IR frequency =Natural frequency of
vibration
11
▫ v - vibrational frequency
▫ k - force constant
▫ µ= (m1.m2)/(m1+m2)
▫ m1 and m2 –mass of atom 1 and 2 respectively.
12
Molecular vibrations
13
Stretching vibrations
• Involves continuous change in inter atomic
distance along the axis.
• Two types:
▫ Symmetrical stretching-stretching/ compression
in symmetrical way.
symmetrical
H
asymmetrical
H
16
Bending vibrations:
• Involves change in bond angle between bonds
with a common atom or the movement of
group of atoms to the reminder of molecule.
• Two types:
▫ In-plane
▫ Out-of plane
17
• Scissoring- atoms H

• Rocking- The
structural unit swings C
plane.
18
• Wagging: The
structural unit swings H
the plane H
• Twisting: structural
unit rotate about the H
Degree of freedom
• Each atom has 3 degrees of freedom
• N-atom molecule there will be 3N degree of freedom.
• Nonlinear molecules= 3N - 6
Eg : H2O (3x3)-6=3
• Linear molecules= 3N -5
Eg : N2 (3x2)-5=1

Field effect:
• Lone pair of electrons on two atoms influences
each other through space, can change vibrational
frequency of both groups.
• Eg: O- haloacetophenone

Hydrogen bonding
• Remarkable downward frequency shift.
• Stronger H bond- greater the shift towards lower
wave number.
▫ Free alcohol - sharp OHstr band
▫ H bonded alcohol - broad OHstr band
Vibrational coupling
• Isolated C-H bond – only one str frequency
• For methylene (-CH2-) –two coupled vibrations of
different frequency. ( asymmetric and symmetric)

mortar.
• Powdered sample + Nujol paste
• Paste between the two plates of salt.

Quantitative analysis
• Based on the determination of the concentration of
one of the functional group of the compound being
estimated.
• Concentration is determined using
Beer- lamberts law
