Spectral Analysis - Alkyne


acetylenic C-H

Stretch for sp-hybridized C-H occurs at values near 3300 cm-1.

C,C triple bond

Stretch occurs near 2150 cm-1; conjugation moves stretch to lower frequency. Disubstituted or symetrically substituted triple bonds give either no absorption or weak absorption.

acetylenic C-H

Bend for sp-hybridized C-H occurs at values between 650-600 cm-1.
