Abstract:
Some characteristic vibrational modes of acetone and chloroform change due to the azeotrope formation. The extend of interaction of these molecules has significant effects on some vibrational modes involved, depending on unit structure in azeotrope cluster. Besides (1)H NMR signals undergo some chemical shifts, which show the effect of oncoming molecules on the target molecule. FT-IR and (1)H NMR spectra of pure substances and corresponding azeotrope were recorded, mutual influences due to azeotrope formation based on mole ratio, boiling point and spectral changes has been discussed. Unit structure of cluster deduced by investigating fundamental frequency shifts and (1)H NMR chemical shifts.

For example, cyclohexane molecular ions have a mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of 84, which tends to produce a stronger signal than linear alkanes like hexane. This stability comes from...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
