INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Objectives:
1. To develop the skills to identify and interpret an ester through Fourier Transform Infra-Red
(FTIR) methods referring to the Infra-Red Spectrum table.
Introduction:
FTIR stands for ‘Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy’. This instrument measures the infrared
region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency
than visible light.
The basic theory of FTIR is that the bonds between different atoms absorb light at different frequencies,
when infrared lasers is emitted to the particles, some of the energy from the Infrared Light will be
absorbed and produces an output of an infrared spectrum. The FTIR spectrum is a graph of infrared light
absorbance by the substance on the vertical and the frequency (wavelength ) on the horizontal axis.
PROCEDURE Procedures of using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy ‘FTIR’.

S 1. Clean the crystal surface of ATR accessory with ethanol, C2H5OH.
2. Open OPUS software to communicate with the instrument.
3. Key in the password to log in.
4. Then, hit OK to enter.
5. Click on the Advance Data Collection icon.
6. Key in the name of sample to be analysed ( Ethyl Ethanoate, C4H8O2).
7. Then, hit the Background Single Channel.
8. Wait until the green line of the analysis disappeared.
9. Place 2 drops of Ethyl Ethanoate, C 4H8O2 on the crystal surface for the sample
to be analysed.
10. Click on the simple single channel to read the sample and results of the
spectrum will be shown after a few seconds.
11. Right click on any curve and select single peak picking and click on each
peak of spectrum obtained and save the result.

FTIR analysis is used to identify molecular compounds. It works by measuring the

absorbance of infrared radiation by a sample. The resulting spectrum can then be used
to identify the functional groups present in the compound. It is often used in fields such
as chemistry and pharmaceuticals, where it can be used to identify unknown
compounds or to confirm the identity of known compounds. It can also be used to
determine the purity of a compound, as well as its physical and chemical properties.
According to the analysis table, ester groups contain one C=O bond and two C-O
bonds. From the result, we have already studied that carbonyl stretching peaks are
strong and generally occur between 1800 and 1600 cm -1. We also know that C-O
stretches are intense peaks typically seen between 1300 and 1000. Since one of the C-O
bonds in the ester group is attached to the carbonyl carbon and the other is not, we
might expect the two to be chemically distinct, have different force constants, and
hence give rise to two separate peaks between 1300 and 1000.
As it turns out, our predictions are correct. Esters have a memorable pattern of three
intense peaks at ~1700, ~1200, and ~1100 from the C=O and two C-O stretches. Below
is an example of a saturated ester result originally from Spectroscopy solution of
Material Analysis.
ANALYSIS
AND
DISCUSSION
This intensity pattern is typical of esters and can be useful in identifying them. A
summary of the group wavenumbers for saturated esters is found in Table I.
CONCLUSIO With the help of Fourier transform infrared, ‘FTIR’, we could easily identify and
N determine that esters were produced part of the sample that were produced from the
experiment 3. This is because, based on the recorded data, there are 6 peaks
indicating 6 different functional groups exists in the sample being 1) Amine, 2)
Alkane, 3) Esters, 4) Sulfonate, 5) alkoxy and 6) Anhydride, but however the
frequencies of Esters (Ethyl Ethanoate, C 4H8O2) showing the strongest among the
other functional groups with a peak of 1736.62 which is in between the range of
strong esters (1735-1750).
In conclusion, the objective of this lab was to develop the skills to identify and
interpret an ester through Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) methods referring to
the Infra-Red Spectrum table and through the result data obtained, we have
succeeded in achieving that objective.
