Abstract:
o, m, p- (Methacrylamido) benzoic acid (o, m, p-MAABA) was synthesized from o, m, p-aminobenzoic acid (o, m, p-ABA), elemental analysis and 1H NMR were used to confirm these compounds. The fluorescent properties of the compounds were investigated. The result showed that o, p-MAABA has lambda(ex)max at 358 nm while m-MAABA has lambda(ex)max at 324 nm. Excited at lambda(ex)max, o-MAABA had the strongest fluorescence, while p-MAABA had the weakest, and all of them were round at 420 nm.

IR and UV–Vis Spectroscopy of Carboxylic Acids
However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
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...
