Electromagnetic Radiation

• Radiation is absorbed & emitted in photons. The defining characteristic of a photon is that the energy is quantized, it can not be split into smaller pieces.

• Each photon’s energy is defined by its frequency, (ν) or wave length, (λ) or wave number (wn)

• Ephoton = hν = hc/λ = hc(wn)• Two constants appear in these formulas:

h = 6.63 x x 10-34 J sc = speed of light = 3.00 x 108 ms-1 (3.0 x 1010cms-1)

• Wave number (wn) = 1/λ

IR Radiation

• IR absorbed by organic molecules• 600 - 4000 cm- -1 1• Photon energy = hc(wn) = 1.2 - 8.0 x 10-20 J• Molar photon energy = 7.4 -49 kJ/mol = 1.8 -

12 kcal/mol• IR photon energy <<< covalent bond energy. • Absorbing IR radiation should not trigger substantial chemical changes. But IR radiation contains more energy than random thermal motion at room temperature (~ 0.6 kcal/mol).

IR Spectrum• Plot IR energy vs. %transmittance (%T)• Energy scale in wave numbers, wn (cm -1)• %T scale• Compares intensity of IR striking sample (Iin) with

intensity of IR leaving sample (Iout)• 100%T means no light absorbed by sample• 0% T means all light absorbed by sample

Energy Trends

• Energy follows vibration frequency of atoms• Light atoms vibrate more rapidly• CH, NH, OH vibrations > 2800 cm -1

• Multiple bonds vibrate more rapidly• Triple bonds

C≡C (2100 - 2200) C≡N (2240 - 2280)

• Double bondsC=O (1680 -1750) C=C (1620 -1680)

• Single bonds Single bondsC–O (1025 - 1200)

• Stretching > Bending > Wagging/Twisting
