Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy
•IR deals with the interaction of infrared radiation with matter.
The IR spectrum of a compound can provide important
information about its chemical nature and molecular structure.
•Most commonly, the spectrum is obtained by measuring the
absorption of IR radiation, although infrared emission and
reflection are also used.
•Widely applied in the analysis of organic materials, also useful
for polyatomic inorganic molecules and for organometallic
compounds.

The propagation of electromagnetic
radiation in a vacuum is constant for all
regions of the spectrum (= velocity of
light):

Another unit commonly used is the wavenumber, which is linear with energy:
Work by Einstein, Planck and Bohr indicated that electromagnetic radiation can be
regarded as a stream of particles or quanta, for which the energy is given by the
Bohr equation:

There are three basic types of optical
spectra that we can observe for
molecules:
1.Electronic or vibronic spectra (UV-
visible-near IR)
(transitions between a specific vibrational and rotational level
of one electronic state and a vibrational and rotational level of
another electronic state)
2.Vibrational or vibrational-rotational
spectra (IR region)
(transitions from the rotational levels of one vibrational level
to the rotational levels of another vibrational level in the same
electronic state)

(transitions between rotational levels of the same vibrational
level of the same electronic state)

absorbed and converted by an organic molecule into energy of
molecular vibration
–> this absorption is quantized:
Vibrational spectra (I): Harmonic oscillator model
A simple harmonic oscillator is a mechanical system consisting of
a point mass connected to a massless spring. The mass is under
action of a restoring force proportional to the displacement of
particle from its equilibrium position and the force constant f (also
k in followings) of the spring.

The actual potential energy
of vibrations fits the
parabolic function fairly
well only near the
equilibrium internuclear
distance. The Morse
potential function more
closely resembles the
potential energy of
vibrations in a molecule for
all internuclear distances-

• The energy difference between
the transition from n to n+1

Note:
Weaker transitions called ―overtones” are sometimes observed. These correspond to
=2 or 3, and their frequencies are less than two or three times the fundamental
frequency (=1) because of anharmonicity.

Bolzmann distribution, it can be shown that at room temperature typically 1% or less of
the molecules are in excited states in the absence of external radiation. Thus most

The vibrational spectra appear as bands rather than lines. When vibrational
spectra of gaseous diatomic molecules are observed under high-resolution
conditions, each band can be found to contain a large number of closely
spaced components— band spectra. The structure observed is due to that
a single vibrational energy change is accompanied by a number of
rotational energy changes. The form of such a vibration-rotation spectrum
can be predicted from the energy levels of a vibrating-rotating molecule.
–> “vibrational-rotational bands‖
Vibrational spectra (III): Rotation-vibration transitions
A vibrational absorption transition from to +1 gives rise to three sets
of lines called branches:
Lower-frequency P branch: =1, J=-1;
Higher-frequency R branch: =1, J=+1;
Q branch: branch: =1, J=0.

The IR absorption spectrum can be obtained with gas-phase or
with condensed-phase molecules. For gas-phase molecules
vibration-rotation spectra are observed, while in condensed
phases, the rotational structure is lost.
For most routine analytical applications of infrared
spectrometry, spectra are obtained with condensed-phase
samples. Hence, the discuss here centers around the vibrational
transitions observed with molecules present as pure liquid, as

Molecular vibrations
• How many vibrations are possible (=fundamental vibrations)?
A molecule has as many degrees of freedom as the total degree of
freedom of its individual atoms. Each atom has three degrees of freedom
(corresponding to the Cartesian coordinates), thus in an N-atom
molecule there will be 3N degree of freedom.
In molecules, movements of the atoms are constrained by interactions
through chemical bonds.
Translation - the movement of the entire molecule while the positions
of the atoms relative to each other remain fixed: 3 degrees of
translational freedom.
Rotational transitions – interatomic distances remain constant but the
entire molecule rotates with respect to three mutually perpendicular
axes: 3 rotational freedom (nonlinear), 2 rotational freedom (linear).

Selection Rules
The energy associated with a quantum of light may be transferred to the
molecule if work can be performed on the molecule in the form of
displacement of charge.
Selection rule:
A molecule will absorb infrared radiation if the change in vibrational
states is associated with a change in the dipole moment () of the
molecule.
µ = qr
q: electrical charge, r: directed distance of that charge from some
defined origin of coordinates from the molecule.
Dipole moment is greater when electronegativity difference between the
atoms in a bond is greater. Some electronegativity values are:

• The theoretical number of fundamental vibrations (absorption
frequencies) will seldom be observed
–> overtones (multiples of a given frequency), combination (sum of
two other vibrations) or difference (the difference of two other
vibrations) tones increase the number of bands
–> the following effects will reduce the number of theoretical
bands:
• frequencies which fall outside the measured spectral region (400-
4000 cm
–1
)
• bands which are too weak
• bands are too close and coalesce
• occurrence of a degenerate band from several absorptions of the
same frequency
• lack of change in molecular dipole

With certain functional or structural groups, it has been found
that their vibrational frequencies are nearly independent of the
rest of the molecule – group frequencies.

For many groups involving only two atoms, the approximate
frequency of the fundamental vibration can be calculated from
a simple harmonic oscillator model.

frequencies of stretching vibrations should lie in the region 4000 to
1000 cm

. In practical, the region from 4000 to 1300 cm
-1
is often
called the group frequency region.

great assistance in identifying the absorbing molecule.

• The vibrations must be of the same symmetry
• The interaction is greatest, when the coupled groups absorb
(individually) near the same frequency --- the same energies of isolated
vibrations.
• Strong coupling between stretching vibrations requires a common atom
between the two groups
• Coupling between bending and stretching vibrations can occur if the
stretching bond forms one side of the changing angle.
• A common bond is required for coupling of bending vibrations.
• Coupling is negligible when groups are separated by one or more carbon
atoms and the vibrations are mutually perpendicular.

The Fourier transform method provides an alternatives to the use
of monochromators based on dispersion.
In conversional dispersive spectroscopy, frequencies are separated
and only a small portion is detected at any particular instant, while
the remainder is discarded. The immediate result is a frequency-
domain spectrum.
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy generates time-domain
spectra as the immediately available data, in which the intensity is
obtained as a function of time.
Direct observation of a time-domain spectrum is not immediately
useful because it is not possible to deduce, by inspection,
frequency-domain spectra from the corresponding time-domain
waveform (Fourier transform is thus introduced).

In conversional dispersive spectroscopy, frequencies are separated
and only a small portion is detected at any particular instant, while
the remainder is discarded. The immediate result is a frequency-
domain spectrum.
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy generates time-domain
spectra as the immediately available data, in which the intensity is
obtained as a function of time.
Direct observation of a time-domain spectrum is not immediately
useful because it is not possible to deduce, by inspection,
frequency-domain spectra from the corresponding time-domain
waveform (Fourier transform is thus introduced).
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)
In one arm of the interferometer, the IR source radiation travels through the beam
splitter to the fixed mirror back to the beam splitter through the sample and to the
detector. In the other arm, the IR source radiation travels to the beam splitter to the
movable mirror, back through the beam splitter to the sample and to the detector. The
difference in pathlengths of the two beams is the retardation . An He-NE laser is used
as a monochromatic reference source. The laser beam is sent through the interferometer
in the opposite direction to that of the IR beam.

Sample preparation techniques
The preparation of samples for infrared spectrometry is often the most
challenging task in obtaining an IR spectrum. Since almost all substances absorb
IR radiation at some wave length, and solvents must be carefully chosen for the
wavelength region and the sample of interest.
Infrared spectra may be obtained for gases, liquids or
solids (neat or in solution)

• A gas sample cell consists of a cylinder of glass or sometimes a metal.
The cell is closed at both ends with an appropriate window materials
(NaCl/KBr) and equipped with valves or stopcocks for introduction of the
sample.
• Long pathlength (10 cm) cells – used to study dilute (few molecules)
or weakly absorbing samples.
• Multipass cells – more compact and efficient instead of long-pathlength
cells. Mirrors are used so that the beam makes several passes through
the sample before exiting the cell. (Effective pathlength 10 m).
• To resolve the rotational structure of the sample, the cells must be
capable of being evacuated to measure the spectrum at reduced
pressure.
• For quantitative determinations with light molecules, the cell is
sometimes pressurized in order to broaden the rotational structure and
all simpler measurement.

• Pure or soluted in transparent solvent – not water (attacks windows)
•The sample is most often in the form of liquid films (“sandwiched”
between two NaCl plates)
• Adjustable pathlength (0.015 to 1 mm) – by Teflon spacer

Solid samples
• Spectra of solids are obtained as alkali halide discs (KBr), mulls
(e.g. Nujol, a highly refined mixture of saturated hydrocarbons) and
films (solvent or melt casting)
Alkali halide discs:
1.A milligram or less of the fine ground sample mixed with about
100 mg of dry KBr powder in a mortar or ball mill.
2.The mixture compressed in a die to form transparent disc.
Mulls
1.Grinding a few milligrams of the powdered sample with a mortar
or with pulverizing equipment. A few drops of the mineral oil
added (grinding continued to form a smooth paste).
2.The IR of the paste can be obtained as the liquid sample.

Near-infrared and Far-infrared absorption
The techniques and applications of near-infrared (NIR) and
far-infrared (FIR) spectrometry are quite different from those
discussed above for conventional, mid-IR spectrometry.
Near-infrared: 0.8 -2.5 m, 12500 - 4000 cm

Mid-infrared: 2.5 - 50 m, 4000 - 200 cm

Near-infrared spectrometry
NIR shows some similarities to UV-visible spectrophotometry and
some to mid-IR spectrometry. Indeed the spectrophotometers
used in this region are often combined UV-visible-NIR ones.
The majority of the absorption bands observed are due to
overtones (or combination) of fundamental bands that occur in
the region 3 to 6 m, usually hydrogen-stretching vibrations.
NIR is most widely used for quantitative organic functional-group
analysis. The NIR region has also been used for qualitative
analyses and studies of hydrogen bonding, solute-solvent
interactions, organometallic compounds, and inorganic
compounds.

Far-infrared spectrometry
Almost all FIR studies are now carried out with FTIR
spectrometers.
The far-IR region can provide unique information.
i)The fundamental vibrations of many organometallic and
inorganic molecules fall in this region due to the heavy atoms
and weak bonds in these molecules.
ii)Lattice vibrations of crystalline materials occur in this region,
iii)Electron valence/conduction band transition in
semiconductors often correspond to far-IR wavelengths.
