Problem #3: Unknown molecule with molecular formula C,H,O. 14 Which of these molecules best corresponds to the IR spectrum below with molecular formula C6H₁40 ? a) OH b) OH c) d)
Analyzing Infrared Spectra
The electromagnetic radiation or frequency is classified into radio-waves, micro-waves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. The infrared spectra emission refers to the portion between the visible and the microwave areas of electromagnetic spectrum. This spectral area is usually divided into three parts, near infrared (14,290 – 4000 cm-1), mid infrared (4000 – 400 cm-1), and far infrared (700 – 200 cm-1), respectively. The number set is the number of the wave (cm-1).
IR Spectrum Of Cyclohexanone
It is the analysis of the structure of cyclohexaone using IR data interpretation.
IR Spectrum Of Anisole
Interpretation of anisole using IR spectrum obtained from IR analysis.
IR Spectroscopy
Infrared (IR) or vibrational spectroscopy is a method used for analyzing the particle's vibratory transformations. This is one of the very popular spectroscopic approaches employed by inorganic as well as organic laboratories because it is helpful in evaluating and distinguishing the frameworks of the molecules. The infra-red spectroscopy process or procedure is carried out using a tool called an infrared spectrometer to obtain an infrared spectral (or spectrophotometer).
Double bond equivalence (DBE) for the given molecular formula C6H14O calculated by using the following formula.
DBE = x + 1 - 
Where, x = number of carbon atoms and y = number of hydrogen atoms present in given molecular formula.
Here, x = 6 and y = 14
Then, DBE = 6 + 1 - 
DBE = 7 - 7 = 0
DBE value zero indicates that compound is saturated.
