Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)– Excitation of the nucleus of atoms through radiofrequency irradiation. Provides extensive information about molecular structure and atom connectivity.  \n2. Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)– Triggering molecular vibrations through irradiation with infrared light. Provides mostly information about the presence or absence of certain functional groups.  \n3. Mass spectrometry – Bombardment of the sample with electrons and detection of resulting molecular fragments. Provides information about molecular mass and atom connectivity.  \n4. Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV)– Promotion of electrons to higher energy levels through irradiation of the molecule with ultraviolet light. Provides mostly information about the presence of conjugated π systems and the presence of double and triple bonds.  \n\n| SPECTROSCOPY-Study of spectral information |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Physical stimulus | | |  response |  Detecting instrument |  |\n| \u003Cbr>Visual (most common) representation, or\u003Cbr>Spectrum |  |  |  |  | |\n| Upon irradiation with infrared light, certain bonds respond by vibrating faster.

Associate patterns with physical parameters.  \n3. Identify possible meanings, i.e. propose explanations.  \nOnce a spectrum is obtained, the main challenge is to extract the information it contains in abstract, or hidden form. This requires the recognition of certain patterns, the association of these patterns with physical parameters, and the interpretation of these patterns in terms of meaningful and logical explanations.  \nELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM  \nMost organic spectroscopy uses electromagnetic energy, or radiation, as the physical stimulus.  \nElectromagnetic energy (such as visible light) has no detectable mass component. In other words, it can be referred to as “pure energy.”  \nOther types of radiation such as alpha rays, which consist of helium nuclei, have a detectable mass component and therefore cannot be categorized as electromagnetic energy.  \nThe important parameters associated with electromagnetic radiation are:  \n• Energy (E) : Energy is directly proportional to frequency, and inversely proportional to wavelength, as indicated by the equation below.  \n• Frequency ( μ)  \n• Wavelength (λ)  \nEFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON MOLECULES  \nGraphics source: Wade, Jr., L.G. Organic Chemistry, 5th ed. Pearson Education Inc., 2003  \nInfrared radiation is largely thermal energy. It induces stronger molecular vibrations in covalent bonds, which can be viewed as springs holding together two masses, or atoms.  \nSpecific bonds respond to (absorb) specific frequencies  \nGraphics source: Wade, Jr., L.G.
