infrared spectrum of cyclobutane C4H8 wavenumbers cm-1 functional group detection fingerprint pattern identification of cyclobutane doc brown's advanced organic chemistry revision notes 

Spectra obtained from a liquid film of cyclobutane. The right-hand part of the of the infrared spectrum of cyclobutane, wavenumbers ~1500 to 400 cm-1 is considered the fingerprint region for the identification of cyclobutane and most organic compounds. It is due to a unique set of complex overlapping vibrations of the atoms of the molecule of cyclobutane.

Interpretation of the infrared spectrum of cyclobutane

The most prominent infrared absorption lines of gaseous cyclobutane

CH2 stretching vibration absorptions, peaking at wavenumbers ~2987 and 2887 cm-1.

Various CH2 vibration absorption modes peaking at wavenumbers ~627, 749, 1223, 1257, 1447, 2952 cm-1.

C4 ring deformation vibration absorptions peaking at wavenumber ~898 cm-1.

(data from NIST website)

The absence of other specific functional group bands will show that a particular functional group is absent from the cyclobutane molecular structure.
