Stretching vibration

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Symmetrical stretching vibration
Asymmetrical or anti-symmetrical stretching oscillation

The stretching vibration is a term from the field of molecular spectroscopy . It is a special molecular vibration in which the distances ( bond lengths ) of the individual atoms in the molecule change, which is why it is also known as stretching vibration . The vibration occurs along the core connection line. The energy required for this is usually transmitted by radiation with a wave number between 500 and 4,000 cm −1 .

The stretching vibration must be distinguished from the deformation vibration .

Examples of different functional stretching vibrations
Wave number in cm −1 Molecular group Sample materials Intensity for the sample materials
3200 ... 3750 -OH Alcohols , water strong, broad
3300 ... 3500 -N-H Amines , amides wide
3300 ≡C – H Alkynes strong
3000 ... 3100 = C-H aromatic rings , alkenes medium
2800 ... 3000 -C-H Aliphatic hydrocarbons , -CH 3 , -CH 2 strong
2500 ... 3000 -OH Carboxylic acids strong
2150 ... 2260 –C≡C Alkynes varying
2210 ... 2260 –C≡N Nitriles medium
1670… 1800 -C = O Carbonyl compounds ( ketones , ...) strong
1640 ... 1680 -C = C Alkenes medium
1560, 1350 -NO 2 Nitro groups strong
1180 ... 1360 -C-N Amines medium
1100 –C – O – C– Ether strong
1000 ... 1150 -C-O Alcohols strong
1000 ... 1400 -C-F Fluoroalkanes strong
600 ... 800 -C-Cl Chloroalkanes strong
500 ... 600 -C-Br Bromoalkanes strong
500 -C-I Iodoalkanes strong

The indicated wave numbers correspond to the approximate position of the corresponding peaks . These can also differ slightly due to other influencing factors.
