Acetylenes

INTRODUCTION
A large a m o u n t of literature appeared on the vibrational spectra of
acetylenes during the 1960s and the early 1970s. The vibrational spectra of
alkyl acetylenes were reviewed previously by Sheppard and Simpson [1].
More recently, a few acetylene vapor phase IR spectra were investigated by
Nyquist [43]. More details on the characteristic IR and R a m a n frequencies
were reported by Bellamy [2] and Dolhsh et al. [3], respectively. The
characteristic frequencies of acetylenes arise from vibrations involving
= C H stretching and bending, C = C stretching, and = C C stretching
and bending modes. The values of these vibrational frequencies are
summarized in Table 7-1. More specific values for various compounds are
hsted in Tables 7-2 to 7-4.
The presence of monosubstituted acetylenes can be readily determined by
the strong IR bands due to the = C H stretching and bending modes.
Variable IR intensity is found for the C = C stretching mode of m o n o substituted alkynes. However, this C = C stretching vibration becomes
IR-forbidden when the C ^ C moiety is symmetrically disubstituted.
Fortunately, R a m a n spectrometry provides an easy answer to this problem,
since the C = C stretching is very strong and polarized in the R a m a n spectra.
The spectral position and pattern of R a m a n bands usually provides enough
information to identify the type of substitution.

THE C - H STRETCHING OF C ^ C - H GROUPS
The acetylenic C H stretching vibration is characterized by the sharp IR
absorption band in the 3340-3290 cm"^ region (Table 7-2) when measured
in C C I 4 solution. T h e IR intensity of this b a n d is so strong that it is very

THE C - H BENDINGS OF C ^ C - H GROUPS
The characteristic IR bands in the 681-610 cm"^ region are attributed to the
= C H bending modes. F o r monoalkyl acetylenes, these vibrational modes
occur in a narrower region of 640-628 cm~\ T h e intensity is usually very
strong in IR, while it is medium t o weak in R a m a n . T h e = C H bending
frequency tends t o be increased or decreased when the substituent decreases

C ^ C STRETCHING
The polarized C = C stretching band is very prominent in R a m a n spectra,
while its IR intensity varies. This vibration is IR-active only in cases of
monosubstituted or antisymmetric disubstituted acetylenes. Even so, the IR
absorption of R C = C H type c o m p o u n d s is weak, and the intensity
decreases progressively when the triple b o n d moves away from the terminal
position. T h u s , this band is barely observed in the IR spectrum of 2,10dodecadiyne ( C H 3 - C = C - ( C H 2 ) 6 - C = C - C H 3 ) . It appears to be
virtually IR-forbidden when the C = C group is located three or more
positions from the end of the chain. Infrared intensity enhancement of the
C = C stretching b a n d by an acetylinic halogen [7] or conjugation to C = C ,
C = 0 [17] and phenyl [18] groups has been reported.
The C = C stretching frequency of acetylene ( H C = C H ) occurs at
1961 cm"^ (liq.) [3]. This frequency is increased on substitution. For
example, the vibrational frequency of H C = C C H 3 (2142 c m " ^ liq.)
[4] is 181 cm"^ higher than that of acetylene ( H C = C H ) , and that of
C H 3 - C = C - C H 3 (2313 c m - \ liq.) [19] is 352 cm"^ higher than that
observed for acetylene. In the IR (in the vapor state) 1-alkynes absorb
weakly at 2162-2137 cm"^ [46]. Most organic monosubstituted acetylenes
show C = C R a m a n bands in the region of 2130-2100 c m " \ and disubstituted acetylenes are indicated by a b a n d in the 2250-2200 cm"^ region.
The substituent effect on C = C stretching of disubstituted acetylenes is
somewhat parallel to that of monosubstituted acetylenes. For example, the
frequency of H C = C - B r (2085 cm"^) [7] is lower than that of H C = C - C 1
(2110 cm"^) [7], and the same trend is observed in disubstituted compounds
containing chlorine and bromine atoms next to the triple b o n d (Table 7-4).
Monoalkyl ( H C = C R ) acetylenes show characteristic R a m a n bands in the
regions of 2130-2120 cm"^ and dialkyl c o m p o u n d s ( R C = C R ' ) in those
of 2325-2290 cm"^ and 2237-2229 c m " ^ The b a n d in the 2325-2290 cm"^
region of dialkyl acetylenes arises from the Fermi resonance involving the
interaction of the = C C stretch overtone and the C = C stretching. This
band is also observed in many disubstituted alkynes. Such doubUng of the
R a m a n band in this region has been very useful in differentiating the type
of substitution. The attachment of oxygen or sulfur atoms to the a-position
has little effect on the frequency when compared with the values of
alkyl acetylenes. However, a-halogenation raises the frequency to 21482126 c m " \ and the connection of an NR2 group to the a-carbon atom
lowers the vibrational frequency to the 2100 cm"^ region. The effect of
the halogen a t o m adjacent to the C = C moiety on the spectral position

THE C - C STRETCHING OF C ^ C - C MOIETIES
The = C C stretching bands (1161-758 cm"^) are weak in IR and not
simple characteristic frequencies in R a m a n . The identification of these
vibrational bands is more difficult because other types of CC stretching
vibrations also occur in the same region and can interact. The spectral shift
from 1000-940 cm"^ (monosubstituted acetylenes) to 1161-1005 cm~^
(disubstituted acetylenes) does provide a valuable characteristic doublet
feature in the C = C stretching region of dialkyl acetylenes, because of the
Fermi resonance effect with the = C C stretch overtone.

^ C - C BENDINGS
Like the = C H deformations, the two = C C bending modes are
degenerate when axial symmetry about the C = C bond is present. In the
case of no axial symmetry about the C = C b o n d , the two = C C bending
modes are no longer degenerate, and the separation between two spectral
frequencies is dependent u p o n the substitution involved. Only a single CC
deformation R a m a n band (348-336 cm"^) is observed for straight-chain
monoalkyl acetylenes ( C H 3 - ( C H 2 ) - C = C H , = 0-5). In methyl alkyl
acetylenes ( C H 3 C = C R ) , a R a m a n band is seen at 380-366 cm~\ along
with a R a m a n band near 1380 cm"^ (CH3 symmetric deformation) [45].
The a-halogenerated acetylenes ( C H 2 X - C = C H ; X = F , CI, Br, I) [4]
possess two deformation frequencies, at 314-311 cm"^ and 186-158 cm~S
as a result of the loss of degeneracy and the high electronegativity of the
halogen. The presence of a carbonyl group next to the C = C b o n d lowers
the bending frequencies, as exemphfied by H C = C C ( = 0 ) H (261 and
226 cm"^) [17] and H C ^ C - C ( = 0 ) O H (245 and 218 cm"^) [8].
