Basics of infrared spectroscopy
The document discusses infrared (IR) spectroscopy. It explains that IR spectroscopy analyzes molecular vibrations and rotations that are excited when molecules absorb IR radiation. The experimental setup for IR spectroscopy includes an IR source, fore optics to direct the beam at the sample, a monochromator to separate wavelengths, a detector to measure absorption, and a recorder to display the results. Molecular vibrations that can be measured include stretching and bending vibrations of bonds that change the molecule's dipole moment.

IR SPECTROPHOTOMETRY Energy ofmolecule = Electronic energy+ Vibrational energy + Rotational energy Concerned with the study of absorption of infrared radiation, which causes vibrational transition in the molecule. Thus known as Vibrational spectroscopy. Mainly used in structure elucidation to determine the functional groups.
- 6. Most of theanalytical applications are confined to the middle IR region because absorption of organic molecules are high in this region. IR region: 0.8 µm (800nm) to 1000 µm (1mm) Near IR: 0.8-2 µm Middle IR: 2-15 µm Far IR: 15-1000 µm

This characteristic vibration are called Natural frequency of vibration. Applied infrared frequency = Natural frequency of vibration Change in dipole moment is required

- 18. MONOCHROMATOR Splits thepolychromatic readiation to component wavelengths. Make use of prisms or grating or both. Resolution depends on slit width and quality of mirrors. Rock salt prism is generally use d in the range of 650- 4000cm-1
- 19. DETECTOR •Measure the radiantenergy by its heating effect. •Thermopiles bolometer and golay cells are generally used •Photoconductivity is also used. •Radiation is allowed to fall on photo conducting material and the conductivity of the material is measured continuously by a bridge network. •Once the sample absorbs radiation, there will be inequality between the two radiations and signal will be produced.
- 20. THE RECORDER •The amplifiedsignal is used to move an attenuator which cuts down the radiation coming out of the reference beam until energy balance is restored. •This is achieved by a motor which drives the comb into the reference beam when an absorbing band is encountered and out of the beam when the band is passed over. •The recorder pen is also coupled to this motor so that the comb movement is followed exactly y the pen
