0.8 0.6 0.4 3000 INFRARED SPECTRUM www 2000 Wavenumber (cm-1) (https://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry) 1000 Chemistry WebBook For the above shown IR-Spectrum (Indicate the structure of the organic molecule). What are the characteristic peaks present?
In the given IR spectrum, the characteristics peak at 3050cm-1, 1620cm-1, 900cm-1 and 720cm-1.
The strong peak at 3050cm-1 is due to sp2 C-H stretching. The intensity of this peak is very high.
The peak at 1620cm-1 is weak. This may appear due to presence of C=C group (stretching). The peak is weak due to low bond energy of C=C. Also several bands of weak and medium intensity is found in the range of 1200-2000cm-1.
The peak at 900cm-1 and 720cm-1 is due to sp2 C-H vibration. The peak at 900cm-1 is for out of plane C-H vibration and 720cm-1 is for in plane C-H vibration.
No such characteristics peaks are present. Therefore this molecule consist of C=C group and sp2 C-H. So, it is an aromatic hydrocarbon.
