IR Functional Group Analysis - Virtual 3D Laboratory

Interactive Course Summary

Diagnostic and Fingerprint Infrared Regions — This lesson uses wavenumber metrics ($\text{cm}^{-1}$) to isolate characteristic bond stretching frequencies from the complex single-bond deformations found below $1500\text{ cm}^{-1}$ (the fingerprint region). Students calculate how varied atomic masses and bond orders shift specific signal positions.
