Amines and Imines

  • Chapter
The Infra-red Spectra of Complex Molecules

Abstract

Primary amines can be identified by the presence of two absorption bands in the NH stretching region arising from the symmetric and asymmetric vibrations of the hydrogen atoms. In some cases a third band is shown in this region due to hydrogen bonding effects. Hydrogen bonding results in a shift towards lower frequencies in all cases, but the bonds are considerably weaker than those of OH groups, so that the bands are sharper and are not shifted to anything like the same extent. Unfortunately there is a good deal of overlapping between the OH and NH vibrations in this region, so that differentiation is not always possible. Frequency shifts of the NH stretching vibration occur also in structures such as amines and hydrochlorides in which the amine group is charged (NH3 +). These cases are considered separately.
