IR Peaks
« on: April 29, 2021, 12:21:02 PM »
Can somebody identify the following peaks please in the IR Spectrum .. can you give a full explanation  for each peak please ie C-H bend, Alkene etc …thank you

1068.2
1231.2
1367.1
1452
1733
2241.84
2921.11

I have them down as

OH Group
C-O stretch  ether
S=O stretch sulfonamide
C-H. Bend  Alkene methyl group
S=O. Stretch aldehyde
C (triple bond) N.  Stretch nitrile
C-H stretch Alkene

Can anyone put me right please

Not just the frequency but the depth (and occasionally the width) of the signal is extremely helpful in making assignments.  If an -OH group is present, what other signals would you see?

thanks for the info I already know ..lol.  the question was can anyone identify the correct assignments ?

I know about stretches and a-symmetric stretches etc etc ...dipole to dipole moment's strong weak and medium peaks .  all I would like is a professional second eye to look  on the peak assignments and report back . thank you  :D

dare I ask can anyone calculate this ???   I don't know where to start which is why there's no attempt

If I were to assign a signal as C-O, what should I look for next?

I don't know what you mean by S=O aldehyde.  Is that a typo?

More generally, I would say that any one stretch frequency might be associated with one or possibly more than one functional group, depending on the particulars.

Huh?

Sorry guys I’m Forensic’s so maybe these are not familiar areas of expertise for you

IR spectra of a compound doesn't depend on the application. There is often no easy and unique peak assignment, IR can be quite messy.

I recently started teaching forensic chemistry, and IR is one of the topics, as well as being part of the organic chemistry curriculum that I have taught for some time.  It seems to me that you approaching this problem with the wrong tactic.  You should be working toward finding a single structure that is compatible with all of the available evidence.  That is why I was prodding you about C-O and O-H groups.

With respect to your titration results, I don't understand the context of the question.  Once you fill that in, Borek should be able to guide you.
