Transcribed Image Text:Vibrational Spectroscopy
When an atom in a bond is replaced with a different isotope of the same element, the reduced mass of
the bonded atoms change the absorption of the vibration in the infrared (vibrational) spectrum.
The wavenumber of a vibration is given by v = ¹, where k = force constant of the bond, μ =
2π
reduced mass.
Reduced Mass: μ =

"
where m₁ and m2 are the mass of each attached atom.
Assuming the force constant of a particular pair of atoms does not change when one or the other atom
is substituted with an isotope, the magnitude of the vibrational shift can be determined from a ratio of
the two vibrations.

1. An O-H stretch occurs at 3650 cm¹. What is the expected vibrational wavenumber of an O-D bond?
2. An NH3 stretch occurs at 3337 cm¹. At what wavenumber does the ND3 vibration occur?
3. An IR spectrum of a complex containing an Ru-O bond is
depicted to the right. When 0-16 is substituted with 0-18, the
vibration at 887 cm¹ appears to decrease and a new vibration
appears at 841 cm2. Show that this shift is consistent with an Ru-O
bond.
* Prediction based on calculation.
see if the expected shift is consistant with
the calculation
4. The IR spectrum to the right is also of an Ru-O complex
which has been substituted with O-18. Determine the shift
expected for each 0-16 labeled vibration after substitution
with O-18. Do either agree with the new peak und 887
after 0-18 substitution?
