Why 112 and 114? – Isotopic distribution (Cl 35 and Cl 37) Use on tests: you’ll be given the “M+” (molecular ion), which is the same as the formula (molecular weight) of the molecule. e.g. Given formula = C3H5O2 (total = 73 a.m.u.) but M+ = 146 a.m.u. Therefore actual formula of unknown must be C6H10O4 e.g. Given formula = C5H10O3 (total = 118 a.m.u.) and M+ = 118 a.m.u. Therefore the formula given is the actual formula
Summary of spectroscopy/spectrometry techniques
1H NMR – tells you the number, type and environment of protons 13C NMR – same for C but no coupling or integration
IR – types of bonds and functional groups in a molecule UV-Vis – conjugation in pi systems Mass Spec – formula weight of molecules and fragmentation patterns Can use combinations of techniques to work out molecular structure
