It is possible to identify other functional groups such as amines and ethers, but the characteristic peaks for these groups are considerably more subtle and/or variable, and often are overlapped with peaks from the fingerprint region. Now, let’s take a look at the IR spectrum for 1-hexanol.Īlkynes have characteristic IR absorbance peaks in the range of 2100-2250 cm -1 due to stretching of the carbon-carbon triple bond, and terminal alkenes can be identified by their absorbance at about 3300 cm-1, due to stretching of the bond between the sp-hybridized carbon and the terminal hydrogen. In the mid-1990’s, for example, several paintings were identified as forgeries because scientists were able to identify the IR footprint region of red and yellow pigment compounds that would not have been available to the artist who supposedly created the painting (for more details see Chemical and Engineering News, Sept 10, 2007, p. The reason for this is suggested by the name: just like a human fingerprint, the pattern of absorbance peaks in the fingerprint region is unique to every molecule, meaning that the data from an unknown sample can be compared to the IR spectra of known standards in order to make a positive identification. While it is usually very difficult to pick out any specific functional group identifications from this region, it does, nevertheless, contain valuable information. This part of the spectrum is called the fingerprint region. You will notice that there are many additional peaks in this spectrum in the longer-wavelength 400 -1400 cm -1 region. Nevertheless, it can serve as a familiar reference point to orient yourself in a spectrum. This peak is not terribly useful, as just about every organic molecule that you will have occasion to analyze has these bonds. The jagged peak at approximately 2900-3000 cm -1 is characteristic of tetrahedral carbon-hydrogen bonds. Within that range, carboxylic acids, esters, ketones, and aldehydes tend to absorb in the shorter wavelength end (1700-1750 cm-1), while conjugated unsaturated ketones and amides tend to absorb on the longer wavelength end (1650-1700 cm -1). Notice how strong this peak is, relative to the others on the spectrum: a strong peak in the 1650-1750 cm -1 region is a dead giveaway for the presence of a carbonyl group. However, because the coupling constants are very similar, the signal appears as a sextet.The key absorption peak in this spectrum is that from the carbonyl double bond, at 1716 cm -1 (corresponding to a wavelength of 5.86 mm, a frequency of 5.15 x 10 13 Hz, and a ΔE value of 4.91 kcal/mol). The (B) protons in turn are coupled to a set of two and three equivalent protons and you would therefore formally expect a quartet of triplets. So, each of these signals appears as a triplet. Protons at (A) and (C) are each coupled to two equivalent (B) protons. Notice the protons closer to the electron withdrawing oxygen atom are further downfield indicating some deshielding. The 1H NMR spectrum of dipropyl ether shows three signals with the triplet at 3.37 ppm assigned to the -CH 2- beside the ether and the other two signals upfield (1.59 and 0.93 ppm). Hydrogens on carbons in and epoxide show up at 2.5 to 3.5 ppm. Similar peaks in epoxides are shifted to a slightly higher field than other ethers.Hydrogens on carbon adjacent to the ether show up in the region of 3.4-4.5 ppm.
