Study Notes
Introduction to Organic Spectroscopy
- Organic spectroscopy is an introduction to pharmaceutical chemistry
- The lecture discusses UV-VIS and Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy.
- UV-VIS spectroscopy involves electromagnetic radiation between 180-780 nm interacting with molecules.
- Absorption of energy causes excitation of an electron to a higher energy level.
- IR spectroscopy uses lower energy electromagnetic radiation for vibrational and rotational transitions within molecules.
- IR radiation involves stretching and bending of bonds in the molecule.
Infrared Spectroscopy
- IR spectra are absorption spectra
- IR radiation has enough energy to stretch or bend bonds in molecules.
- The spectrum is plotted as wavenumber (cm⁻¹).
- IR radiation is lower energy than UV radiation.
- For a bond to absorb IR radiation, the bond must be polarizable.
- Asymmetrical vibrations are the ones that absorb IR.
- Symmetrical molecules don't absorb IR unless asymmetric stretching/bending is possible
Vibrational Modes
- Symmetrical stretch
- Asymmetrical stretch
- Bend
- These modes create different frequencies of radiation absorption in the IR spectrum.
- Complicated compounds have more than one way to vibrate, resulting in multiple absorption bands.
Regions of the IR Spectrum
- The intensity of light absorption changes in different parts of the region
- Higher frequency regions for a shorter wavelength are associated with bonds to hydrogen atoms.
- Lower frequency regions for a longer wavelength are associated with heavier atoms/bonds
Group Frequencies
- Absorption frequency depends on the mass (heavy or light atoms) and bond strength of bonded atoms in the regions.
- Tables or databases of group frequencies can aid in determining functional groups within molecules.
- One absorption band can appear at the same frequency for many different molecules.
Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy in Pharmaceuticals
- Qualitative tests for drugs and materials used in drug manufacturing.
- Identification of functional groups in molecules.
- Analysis of solid and semi-solid pharmaceutical forms, e.g., creams and tablets.
Sample Preparation Methods for IR Spectroscopy
- Liquid films: spreading a drop of liquid between IR plates
- Solutions: using suitable solvents and background correction with a blank solvent
- Solids: ground solids to a paste with a mulling agent (e.g., mineral oil) or with KBr in a mortar
British Pharmacopoeia (BP) Standards for IR Spectroscopy
- BP uses IR spectra of standard compounds to verify the identity of the drug.
- The IR spectrum of an unknown drug must exactly match the spectrum of a standard compound
- All peaks and intensities in the spectra should match exactly.
- Functional groups at specific frequencies can aid in determining purity.
