    Problem Set 3Infrared Spectroscopy

    Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy is the measure of the amount of radiation

    absorbed by compounds within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Theabsorption of infrared radiation is a quantized process, which means only selected

    frequencies (energies) of infrared radiation are absorbed by a molecule. Each absorption

    band corresponds to energy changes related to the two types of vibration, stretching and

    bending of chemical bonds, in covalent molecules. From these absorption bands, orpeaks in the spectrum, the presence or absence of certainfunctional groups of a

    compound can be determined.

    For this problem set:

    a) Match the four structures with the four IR spectra in each set. Use a table of

    specific IR absorptions for various functional groups to help you identify

    the structures.

    b) Indicate and label the important peaks in each spectrum by drawing the type of

    bond next to its corresponding peak.

    c) Label all the functional groups that are present in each compound.

    d) Show your work.
