Step 3 (Cont)
Aromatic Ring Absorptions
Aromatic unsaturated C=C bonds show an
absorption on the left side of 3000 cm-1, but
the aromaticity must be verified in the
overtone region (1667 - 2000cm-1) and the
out-of-plane (OOP) region (900 - 690 cm-1)
Medium to strong absorption in region 1650 1450 cm-1
Many weak combination and overtone
absorptions appear between 2000 and 1667
cm-1
The relative shapes and numbers (1 - 4) of the
overtone absorptions can be used to tell
whether the aromatic ring is monosubstituted
or di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or hexasubstituted.
Positional (ortho-, meta-, para-) isomers can
also be distinguished.
Step 3 (Cont)
Aromatic Ring Absorptions (Cont)
The unsaturated =C-H Out-of-Plane (OOP)
bending absorptions in the region 900 690
can also be used to determine the type of
ring substitution.
The number of absorptions and their relative
positions are unique to each type of
substitution.
Although these absorptions are in the
fingerprint region they are particularly
reliable for rings with alkyl group
substitutions.
They are less reliable for polar substituents.
