O single bond stretch
Summary
Chapter 8 is entirely devoted to discussions of the vibrational frequencies of the carbonyl functional group (>C
O). Fortunately, the stretching mode of the carbonyl possesses all of the characteristics that give rise to an excellent group frequency. Those factors that perturb the location of the carbonyl in the spectrum are now well understood in terms of theoretical organic chemistry. They are identified as mass, geometric, electronic, and interaction effects. Both first-order and second-order coupling of carbonyls are considered. Also described are examples of intramolecular and intermolecular H-bonding. Field effects and transannular interactions are also examined. The chapter ends with the consideration of amide carbonyl systems.
