SpectroscopySpectroscopy
• Spectroscopy – is the study of the interaction between radiation and matter.
• In spectroscopy the absorption or reflection of radiation by matter (solids, liquids, gases) is studied.
• Spectroscopists study the interaction of radiation with practically the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Units in IR SpectroscopyUnits in IR Spectroscopy
• Mid-infrared range, wavelength is 2.5 – 25 μm. Equivalent to 4000 – 400 cm-1.
• The cm-1 are termed wavenumbers or reciprocal centimeters, not frequency (ν). Wavenumber is the number of waves in a 1 cm wavetrain.
• Frequency is number of complete waves in each second.
• Wavenumber = ν/c = 1/λ

Vibration TheoryVibration Theory
The molecule can be thought of as mass m1 and m2 connected by a
spring. At equilibrium, the distance between the two masses is r0. If
the molecule is stretched by an amount r = x1 + x2, then a restoring
force, F, is produced. If the spring is released, the system will vibrate
around the equilibrium position. According to Hooke’s Law, for small
deflections the restoring force is proportional to the deflection:
F = -k . r
Since the force acts in a direction opposite to the deflection, the proportionality constant, or force constant, k, is negative in sign. The force constant is called the spring constant in the mechanical model, whereas in a molecule the force constant is a measure of the bond strength between the atoms.

1) The higher the force constant k, i.e., the bond strength, the higher the vibrational frequency (in wavenumbers).
3 absorption peaks for different force constants. Note that by convention, in infrared spectroscopy wavenumbers are plotted right-to-left; i.e., highest wavenumber to the left.

Vibration TheoryVibration Theory
For the harmonic oscillator model, the potential energy well is symmetric. According to quantum-mechanical principles molecular vibrations can only occur at discrete, equally spaced, vibrational levels, where the energy of the vibration is given by:
Ev=(v + ½) h v = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Where h is Planck’s constant and v is the vibrational quantum number. Even in case of v = 0, which is defined as the ground vibrational level, a molecule does vibrate:
Ev= ½ h

Vibration TheoryVibration Theory
• When absorption occurs, the molecule acquires a clearly defined amount of energy, (E = h ), from the radiation and moves up to the next vibrational level (v = +1).
• For a harmonic oscillator, the only transitions permitted by quantum mechanics are up or down to the next vibrational level (v = 1).
If the molecule moves down to the next vibrational level (v = -1), a certain amount of energy is emitted in the form of radiation. This is called emission.Based on Bruker Optics Slide

• A vibration occurs where the dipole moment of the molecule changes, and the molecule is illuminated with radiation equal to the frequency of vibration.

Change in Dipole Moment during Molecular VibrationsChange in Dipole Moment during Molecular Vibrations
• Must change for IR absorption to occur.
• The dipole moment is a measure of the degree of polarity of molecule (magnitude of the separated charges times the distance between them).
• A measurement of degree of unequal distribution of charges in molecule.
18
Band Intensity in IRBand Intensity in IR
• Band intensity depends on the rate of change of dipole moment during absorption of IR light.
• Stronger bands occur when the change in dipole moment is greatest.

A Mid-Infrared SpectrumA Mid-Infrared Spectrum
• A spectrum is a plot that shows the absorption or reflection of radiation as wavelength or frequency of the radiation is varied.

The Unites States Pharmacopeia indicates:
“The IR spectrum is unique for any given chemical compound with the exception of optical isomers, which have identical spectra. However, polymorphism may occasionally be responsible for a difference in the IR spectrum of a given compound in the solid state.”

(d) Samples shall be examined and tested as follows:
(1) At least one test shall be conducted to verify the identity of each component of a drug product. Specific identity tests, if they exist, shall be used.
(2) Each component shall be tested for conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity, strength, and quality. In lieu of such testing by the manufacturer, a report of analysis may be accepted from the supplier of a component, provided that at least one specific identity test is conducted on such component by the manufacturer, and provided that the manufacturer establishes the reliability of the supplier's analyses through appropriate validation of the supplier's test results at appropriate intervals.

Group FrequenciesGroup Frequencies
Characteristic of functional groups such as -O-H, -CH3, -COCH3, and COOH.
Determined empirically by studying the spectra of many related molecules.
Always found in the spectrum of a molecule containing that group, and always occurs in the same narrow frequency range.
The form of the bands is nearly always the same in every molecule containing that group.
24
Fingerprint FrequenciesFingerprint Frequencies
Highly Characteristic of the Specific Molecule. Due to Vibrations of the Molecule as a whole. The numerical values cannot be predicted in most
cases. Valuable in characterizing a molecule. Fingerprint region is useful for discriminating
between molecules that resemble each other.

Dividing LineDividing Line
1500 cm-1 dividing line: above 1500 cm-1 if a band has a reasonable intensity, it is a group frequency.
Below 1500 cm-1 the band may be either a group or fingerprint frequency.
Below 1500 cm-1 called the fingerprint region.

Excellent in identification. Every compound has a unique IR spectrum. Better than a fingerprint, provides structural
information. Helps in completing the “structure puzzle” when
coupled with NMR, and MS (Detection of Compounds vs. Obtaining Structural
Information).
