    Ir Spectrum
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of obtaining infrared (IR) spectral data for specific compounds: benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, benzophenone, cyclohexanone, and acetophenone. Participants suggest several databases as resources for finding the necessary spectral information, including the Sadtler database, NIST, Merck, and Aldrich. They note that IR spectra can vary based on the solvent used, which may cause shifts in wavelength peaks. It is emphasized that obtaining spectra for each compound in a neat form is ideal, especially since the compounds in question are liquids or oils. Additionally, the SDBS database is recommended for its extensive collection of IR and NMR spectra.

i'm having fierce trouble trying to obtain information as to the peaks/bonds in the IR spectra of the following; benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, benzophenone, cyclohexanone and acetophenone.

i keep typing in plenty of the keywords in the various search engines but to no avail.

all i need is a rough guide as to which peaks belong to which bonds!

can anyone provide a decent link to help me out?
thanks

Try the sadtler database or the NIST, I think Merck and Aldrich has some good databases for these types of spectra. The thing is, they may have obtained the spectra in a different context, such as different solvents, for which there may be shifts in the wavelength peaks.

If this was for an experiment, you should have obtained each respective compound spectra independently.
 
IR spectra are usually observed with neat material if they are liquids or oils, which all of those are. You should certainly check to see that the specta are neat, however.

You should check out the SDBS, they have tons of IR and NMR spectra for common compounds.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
