THE ABSORPTION BAND An absorption band is a range of wavelength , frequencies , or energies in the electromagnetic spectrum which are characteristic of a particular transition from initial to final state in a substance. 5/9/2016 3
Types of absorption bands. Following types of bands originates as a result of the possible transition in a compound. K* Bands. R* Bands. B - Bands. E - Bands. 5/9/2016 4
K* bands. Transition *. Examples : 1 ) dienes, polyenes, enones etc conjugated system containing compounds. 2) Aromatic compounds substituted by chromophores. Intensity : 10 4 . Solvent effect : ‘ e nes’ and ‘enones’ are effected differently by changing the polarity of the solvent . Enones show red shift with increasing the polarity of the solvent. 5/9/2016 5
R* bands Transition : n *. Cause : unsaturated compounds containing heteroatoms. Intensity : less ( below 100). Also called forbidden bands. Solvent effect : with increase in polarity of the solvent shifts to shorter wavelength.( blue shift) 5/9/2016 7
TABLE 2:R-BAND TRANSITION Compound Transition max max Acetone n * 270 15 Acetaldehyde n * 293 12 Acrolein n * 315 14 Acetophenone n * 319 50 5/9/2016 8
B-band. Transition : * . Cause : double bond containing aromatic or hetero-aromatic molecules. Intensity : more than R-band. Solvent effect : hyperchromic shift in heterocyclic aromatic compounds . Examples: benzene, styrene phenol etc. 5/9/2016 9
E-bands. Transition : *. Cause : double bonds in benzenoids . Characterised by E 1 and E 2 bands. E1-lower wavelength. E2-longer wavelenth. 5/9/2016 11
