|
Wavelength
|
distance between any two peaks of a wave
|
|
Wavenumber
|
the number of wavelengths that fit into one centimeter (cm-1)
|
|
IR-active vibration
|
a vibration that changes the dipole moment of the molecule allowing it to absorb infrared light
|
|
IR-inactive vibration
|
a vibration that does not change the dipole moment of the molecule and thus cannot absorb infrared light
|
|
fingerprint region
|
portion of the infrared spectrum between 600 and 1400 cm-1 where many complex vibrations occure
|
|
conjugated double bonds
|
double bonds that alternate with single bonds, so their pi bonding orbitals can overlap with each other
|
|
overtone
|
weak absorption at a multiple of the fundamental vibration frequency
|
|
radical cation
|
a positively charged ion with an unpaired e-
