Abstract
The carbonyl stretching vibrations decrease in frequency in the order of solvent polarity (acetonitrile and nitromethane are exceptions) and in the increasing mole concentration of the more polar solvent of a solvent pair. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the chloroform proton and the carbonyl oxygen atom of the solute shifts vC=O to lower frequency. Polar solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide cause vC=O to shift to lower frequency by interacting with the solute in a manner which induces a canonical form which lengthens and weakens the C=O bond. Steric factors of α-halo or oxy groups of carboxylic acids or ketones prevent close solute/solvent interaction in the gauche rotational isomer compared to the cis rotational isomer; thus, gauche vC=O has a lesser contribution from the induced canonical form due to solute/solvent interaction, and gauche vC=O shifts less to lower frequency than does cis vC=O. The rotational isomer concentration distribution also changes with change in solvent polarity. Thus, physical factors of the solute play a role in solvent-induced chemical shifts of IR group frequencies.
