Question

Please help.Any type of help would be nice.

1.Explain the spectrum of 1-methylstyrene.
2.Explain the gaseous and solid state PCl5 from its IR and Raman spectra.

Answer 1

You need to post or give a link to the spectrums for anyone to be any type of assistance.

Answer 2

Thanks for the answer. I don't have the spectras.I've been looking for their spectras (any type) for weeks.I need any type of explanations or interpretations even if someone has his/her spectra of PCl5 and/or 1-methylstyrene

Answer 3

Maybe you are being asked to describe what you are expected to see from spectrums for the two. If that is the case, IR is only really useful for looking for compounds with OH groups, carboxylic acids, amines, and compounds with conjugation. When using IR in the research labs that I worked in, I only used it for the following, and used H NMR for everything else I was looking to identify. With that being said, you should be able to provide a lot of data of what you may expect to see for the first compound that you name.

Answer 4

Scratch that, PCL5 doesn't contain a hydrogen, so I wouldn't use H NMR.
