Introduction

Interest in fluorocarbons, given great impetus by World War II developments, continues to grow, while the more recent interest in the many fluorocarbon derivatives is expanding even more rapidly. The inertness of fluorocarbon groups makes these materials difficult to charac­

terize and to analyze chemically. Hence, physical methods of analysis and identification would quite naturally be expected to play an important part in investigating this important domain of chemistry.

It is thus fortunate that the rapid growth of the science of fluorine chemistry during the past few years has been paralleled by a similar extension of the art and science of a very useful physical method of analysis—infrared spectrometry. In fact, at the present time the infrared spectrometer has become a tool commonly used by the chemist for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. A survey of the recent literature is convincing evidence that chemists are making considerable use of infrared spectrometry and that the data thus obtained have aided mate­

rially in the progress of our knowledge of fluorocarbons and their deriva­

tives. This section will be concerned with this application of infrared spectrometry.

The theory of infrared spectrometry, its application to problems of identification and analysis, and its instrumentation are amply covered in the literature and need not be considered here (7, 8, 67, 121, 129, 153,

159). It may suffice to say that the absorption of infrared radiation by a substance depends upon the atoms and their spatial arrangement in the

449

(2)

molecule as well as the forces existing between the atoms. Variation of these factors lead to differences in infrared absorption so that the infrared absorption spectrum is, in general, a unique characterization of a com­

pound, and may frequently be the most characteristic physical property of that compound.

This factor of uniqueness leads obviously to the simplest application of infrared spectrometry: identification of an unknown material by find­

ing a similar spectrum among the spectra previously obtained for known compounds. For this purpose a large library of reference spectra is re­

quired. To this end the infrared absorption spectra of 150 fluorine- containing compounds are included at the end of this chapter, as well as an index to the infrared spectra appearing in the literature. Two very excellent groups of infrared spectra of fluorine-containing compounds are those of Smith et al. (137, 139).

A more generally applicable method of qualitative analysis is based upon the correlation of infrared absorption frequencies with structural groups. Barnes et al. (7, 8), Colthup (24), and Thompson (147) have given spectral-structure correlations which indicate that such functional groups as OH, N H 2 C = 0 , C = N , and C = C , give rise to absorptions at more or less specific wavelengths. In some cases the precise position of the absorption band gives some information about the substituent on the group. These correlations have been well established and their proper use can be of great assistance to the chemist in establishing the structure of an unknown material. One of the first applications of such use of infrared spectroscopy to fluorocarbons reported in the literature con­

cerned C 3 F 6 obtained from the pyrolysis of polyethforylene. This mate­

rial was first thought to have a cyclic structure. However, the presence of an infrared absorption band at 1795 c m r

1

(33, 162) near the region in which a compound containing a double bond would be expected to absorb was evidence which, together with the Raman (33) and electron diffraction data (17), led to the assignment of the olefinic structure.

Barnes, Gore, Stafford, and Williams (8) state that in the range above 1350 c m .

-1

(less than 7.4 μ) assignments can be made with some certainty since, first the frequency of the vibrations depends primarily on the masses of the atoms involved (i.e., those making up the functional group) and the bond force constants between them; and, second, in this range the vibrations resulting from the combined force constants and atomic masses are well separated and there is little likelihood of interactions causing frequency shifts from expected positions. Thus it is to be expected that the correlations for this spectral region will apply, at least to a first approximation, when fluorine is substituted for hydrogen except in the functional group. The degree to which this holds and the shifts encoun­

tered will be discussed below.

(3)

The above authors also say that in the spectral range below 1350 cm."

1

structural-spectral correlations become much less certain, for various combinations of force constants and atomic masses can give rise to absorption frequencies in the same region or there may be interactions causing frequency shifts. Nevertheless, useful correlations in this region can be obtained, as, for example, in the frequencies which can be used to establish the substitution on the phenyl group. In fact, McMurry and Thornton (94) have given very extensive structure-spectral correlations for hydrocarbons using principally spectral data in the 7 to 15 ě (667 to

1400 c m . - 1

) region. By limiting themselves to hydrocarbons and by making use of intensities as well as band positions, they have derived correlations for such things as the position of bands as a function of the chain length of normal hydrocarbons and as a function of the type of chain branching. Their results indicate the detailed information that can be obtained when a sufficiently large number of compounds of a limited type are thoroughly studied.

However, interactions between the various vibrations are very much greater in the case of fluorocarbons than in the case of hydrocarbons (8, 137). Claassen (23), for example, observes in his analysis of the infrared absorption spectrum of c-C 4 F 8 that the force constants are rather high for the interaction of pairs of C—F stretching coordinates involving the same carbon atom and for the interaction of F—C—F deformations with the bonds forming the sides. Thus correlations obtained for fluorine- containing materials in the spectral range below 1350 cm."

1

will have to be used with considerable caution. Furthermore, it seems improbable that correlations for fluorocarbons can be carried out to the extent that McMurry and Thornton (94) were able to carry them out for hydrocarbons.

The loss of correlations because of larger interactions is not entirely disadvantageous. Larger interactions of vibrations will cause slighter differences in structure to show up as greater spectral differences. Hence smaller structural differences should be detectable in fluorocarbons than in hydrocarbons, and identification by the "fingerprint" method of com­

paring known and unknown spectra should be facilitated.

Hydrogen Stretching Frequencies OH

region in agreement with the general correlations of Barnes et al (8), Colthup (24), and Thompson (147).

CH

The work of Smith (137, 139) indicates the following values for the CH stretching vibration for compounds containing carbon, fluorine, and one hydrogen atom.

C F3H 3062 c m . - 1

— C F2H 3008 C2F6H

> C F H 2990 ( C F3)2C F H and c-C*F9H

Thus the substitution of fluorine on the same carbon atom as the hydro­

gen involved in the CH stretching vibration tends to increase the frequency. Unpublished work of the author on a few additional com­

pounds of this type is in agreement with the above data. Although addi­

tional compounds should be studied, it would appear probable that the CH stretching frequency could be used to give some indication of the position of a hydrogen atom in a hydrogen-containing fluorocarbon molecule. It would, however, be necessary to use lithium fluoride or calcium fluoride prisms when working with spectrometers such as the Perkin-Elmer Model 12C or 21.

The determination of residual hydrogen in fluorocarbons and related substances is important and can frequently be done, at least approxi­

mately, by infrared spectral measurements near 3000 cm."

1

The lower

limit detectable is affected by the appearance of combination bands in

this region, when thick sample specimens are used; and this will vary

with the substance being studied. Furthermore, as can be seen from the

spectra of the hydrides at the end of this chapter, the intensity of the

CH absorption changes with the position of the hydrogen atom in the

molecule. For fluorocarbon hydrides with one hydrogen atom, the CH

absorption is greatest when the hydrogen atom is on a terminal carbon

(5)

atom, approximately one-third that intensity if it is on a secondary carbon atom, and somewhat weaker yet if it is on a tertiary carbon atom.

C = C , C = N , and N = C= 0 Stretching Frequencies

C = C

Henne and Finnegan (61) have discussed the spectrum of CF3Cs=

C C F 3. Bands at 4.7 ě (2130 cm.*

1

) and 4.85 ě (2060 c m r 1

) are attributed to the partial allenic character of the triple bond and to the C = C = C structure, respectively. Henne and Nager (62) found bands at 4.4 μ (2270 c m .

), and 5.1 ě (1960 c m . - 1

) in the spectrum of C F 3C = C H . They assign the 2130 cm."

1

band to the triple bond vibration frequency and the 1960 cm."

1

band to the vibrational frequency of the C = C = C structure. Haszeldine and Leedham (51) also report the spec­

trum of C F 3C = C H as well as C2F5te=CH, and list the C=C band as 4.65 ě (2150 cm."

1

) and 4.66 ě, respectively. These frequencies are quite close to those of the hydrocarbon alkynes.

C = N

Kitson and Griffith (80), in the study of a large number of nitriles (not containing fluorine), found that the C ^ N stretching frequency was at 2250 ± 10 cm."

1

(4.44 ě) for saturated nitriles or olefinic nitriles with no conjugation. Conjugation was found to lower the frequency to 2225 ± 8 cm."

(4.49 ě). Nitriles of the type C nF2 n + i CN have a CN stretching at 2275 ± 5 cm."

1

, while C F 2= C F C N , the only conjugated nitrile measured, has a relatively weak absorption at 2255 cm."

1

(unpub­

lished work of author). Thus the substitution of an alkforyl group on the nitrile group raises the frequency 25 c m .

, and the decrease due to conjugation is about the same in both cases.

as the position of the isocyanate stretching frequency. The substitution of an alkforyl group on the iso­

cyanate group shifts the frequency to 2300 cm."

1

The presence of a C H 2 group between the isocyanate group and the alkforyl group causes the band to appear at an intermediate position of 2280 c m .

-1

This is a par­

ticularly intense absorption.

C = C Stretching Frequencies

Torkington and Thompson (151) and Smith (137) have discussed the absorption bands due to the C = C stretching vibration in fluorine-con­

taining materials. Starting with an absorption for the vinyl group ( — C H = C H 2) at 1640 cm."

1

(6.10 ě), a shift of nearly 100 cm."

1

to

higher frequencies is found when the two terminal hydrogens are replaced

(6)

by fluorine. A further increase of 50 cm." occurs when the third hydrogen is replaced by fluorine. In C F 2 = C F 2 the C = C stretching vibration gives rise to a Raman frequency at 1872 cm."

1

(5.34 ě). These are rather pro­

nounced changes and should enable one to obtain a great deal of informa­

tion concerning the substituents on the olefinic group of fluorine contain­

ing materials.

In agreement with these assignments are the following values reported by Brice, LaZerte, Hals, and Pearlson (16) for C 4 olefins:

C4F8- 1 1795 cm."

1 ( 5 . 8 8 μ) iso-CaFs 1755 (5.71 μ) C4F8 —2 (mixture of cis and trans) 1735 (5.77 μ)

Haszeldine (50) reported an absorption band at 5.56 ě (1800 cm."

1 ) for C 3 F 6 and C 4 F 8 - 1 and one at 5.77 ě (1735 cm."

1

) for C 4 F 8 - 2 . In addition he lists bands at 5.65 ě (1770 cm."

1

) for C F 2 = C F C F = C F 2 ; 5.74 ě (1740 cm."

1

) for cyclohexforene, C 6 F i 0 ; and 5.59 ě (1785 cm."

1 ) for the cyclobutforene, C 4 F 6 . The value for cyclohexforene is in agreement with that for the butforene-2 olefin. The low value for c-C 4 F e is undoubt­

edly due to the strain in the four-membered ring. Haszeldine indicates that the group R — C F = C F 2 (R = H, CI, C F 3 , or C 2 F 5 ) will have a band at 5.56 ě (1800 cm."

1 ).

Unfortunately the frequency shifts observed above when hydrogen is replaced by fluorine causes more overlapping of the C = C and C = 0 absorption positions for substances containing large percentages of fluorine than is found for hydrocarbons.

It appears that the acid chloride carbonyl frequency reported by Haszel­

dine is too high.

ANHYDRIDE AND ACID C = 0

Fuson, Josien, Jones, and Lawson (42) studied CF 3 COOH and CF3OOD in the gaseous phase and found absorption frequencies for the carboxy acid C = 0 vibration at 1825 and 1823 c m .

- 1

, respectively. At low pressures they report bands at 1826 and 1788 c m .

-1

which they attribute to the existence of monomeric and associated forms of the acid.

Haszeldine (47) has assigned the region 1770 to 1785 c m . -1

for the C = 0 frequency of the acids Ö COOH, apparently in the liquid phase. The spectra reproduced in this chapter would indicate that the C = 0 group frequency for the liquid fluorocarbon acids is in the region of 1750 to 1785 cm."

ESTER C = 0

Rappaport, Hauptschein, O'Brien, and Filler (130) have studied the infrared absorption spectra of 25 esters formed from acids or alcohols, either or both of which had alkforyl groups. The substitution of fluorine into the molecule shifts the C = 0 absorption to higher frequencies by as much as 60 cm."

They report the following correlations for the C = 0 group.

— C H2C O O C H2C F2— 5.66 ± 0 . 0 2 μ (1767 ± 6 cm."

1 )

— C F2C O O C H2C F2— 5.53 ± 0 . 0 2 μ (1808 ± 6 cm."

1 )

These shifts have been explained by Hauptschein, O'Brien, Stokes, and Filler (60) in terms of the strong inductive effect of the very electro­

negative alkforyl groups.

C = 0 IN SALTS AND AMIDES

The C = 0 vibration frequency for the salts of fluorocarbon acids

was found by Haszeldine (47) to be in the range of 5.9 to 6.20 ě (1695 to

(8)

1615 c m . ) for the sodium, potassium, and silver salts. The author's unpublished data for a wider range of salts of this type is in essential agreement with this assignment.

The infrared spectra of the fluorocarbon amides usually have a strong band at 1700 to 1730 cm."

1

with a weaker band at 1610 to 1630 cm.- 1 This is similar to the case of the hydrocarbon amides. The stronger absorption band is undoubtedly due to the C = 0 group vibration.

Randall et al. (129) consider the possibility that the weaker band may be due to the — N H 2 bending vibration.

The correlations for the "double and triple b o n d " region discussed above are summarized in Table I.

Spectral Correlations in the 1350 to 650 C m .

-1

Region

It has already been mentioned that correlations in the 1350 to 650 c m .

-1

region are much less certain than those above 1350 c m . - 1

, and that they are further complicated in the case of fluorocarbons by the large interaction of vibrations. Generally this region is most useful for the

"fingerprint" method of identification. Nevertheless some useful correla­

tions in this region have been established.

Smith (137), after studying an appreciable number of fluorocarbons, concluded that in the case of saturated fluorocarbons no useful relation­

ship between molecular structure and infrared absorption could be found, and that C F 3 and C F 2 groups do not have useful characteristic frequencies in the sense that C H 3 and C H 2 do in hydrocarbons. He puts the C—F stretching vibration of the C F 2 group in the range of 1120 to 1280 cm."

1 , with that of the C F 3 group between 1120 and 1350 c m r

1

This is made still more difficult by the fact that four- or five-membered cyclic fluoro­

carbons with no C F 3 groups also have bands between 1140 and 1350 c m .

-1

However, the — C F = C F 2 group could be correlated with a band in the 1300- to 1340-cm.-

1

region.

Hauptschein, Stokes, and Nodiff (60) attribute a band at 1325 to 1365 c m .

-1

to the C F 3 group for compounds of the type C F 3 ( C F 2 ) n X , where X is Cl, Br, I, COSR, COOH, or COC1. They state that in the absence of a C F 3 group they do not find a band in this region with the

CF 2 CO

exception of C F 2 O. If the C F 3 group is attached directly to

\ / CF 2 CO

functional group, then the band in this region is weak and another weak band is found at 1390 cm.-

1

with the exceptions of C F 3 C O O C 2 H 5 and ( C F 3 C O ) 2 0 which have strong bands at 1325 to 1365 cm."

1

I t is interesting to note the use of the out-of-plane hydrogen bending

vibration to differentiate the cis and trans isomers of C F 3 C H = C H C F 3 .

Infrared Absorption Spectra

The infrared absorption spectra which follow were obtained using Perkin-Elmer Model 12C and Model 21 infrared spectrometers (121) with sodium chloride optics.

It was found convenient, when one was interested in the qualitative identification of major components in a gaseous mixture, to use a cell of 25-mm. length, filled to pres­

sures of 50 mm. or more of mercury. The pressure is 50-mm. mercury and the cell length 25 mm., unless otherwise marked on the spectral charts. If a 25-mm. cell was used at some other pressure, the number next to the curve indicates the pressure in millimeters of mercury. Thus for C F4 (p. 469) a portion of the spectrum was run using 8-mm. mercury pressure in a 25-mm. cell. If the cell length was also different than 25 mm., this is indicated by two numbers—the first is the pressure in millimeters of mercury, and the second the cell length in centimeters. Thus for C F4, 500-10 means 500-mm. mercury pressure in a 10-cm. cell. The thickness of liquid samples is indicated in millimeters (i.e., C10F22 — 0.017 mm. thickness). Sealed liquid cells were used (121). Solid samples were run as cast films or mulls with a hydrocarbon such as Nujol.

In some instances the structure of a material is not given in the index or on the charts which follow. For example,

C7F15COOH

is listed only by the empirical formula.

In all such cases, the straight-chain compound is believed to be the major component, but there may be branched-chain isomers present.

The samples used in obtaining the spectra were, for the most part, furnished by various members of the Central Research Department or the New Products Depart­

ment of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance given by many members of these groups in furnishing samples and obtaining and preparing the spectral data for publication. The author also wishes to thank the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. for permission to publish the spectral data.

KAPCSOLÓDÓ DOKUMENTUMOK

The sim- plest example we know of a graded and nonplanar lattice L such that L does not satisfy the c 1 -median property is the example given in [6].. Moreover, White [12] showed

The locations of the ester groups were established from the HMBC spectra, with the acetoxy groups present at C-5, C-14, C-15, and C-17, an isobutyryloxy group at C-3, and a

When the calcined materials (NP-1H-C, NP-5H-C and NP-24H-C) spectra were investigated, it was observed that, with the increase of the hydrothermal treatment time an increase of the

The corresponding state behavior of fluorocarbons and other fluorine containing molecules demonstrates that they are farther from the behavior of spherically symmetrical

Elemental fluorine is the most powerful of all chemical rocket oxidants, which have been investigated in the U.S.A. This element has maximum energy release during combustion and

The ascocarp is allowed to discharge its spores onto a sterile surface, the spores are collected, either before but preferably after germination, and transferred in groups or

There are several possible origins for substances in soil inhibitory to micro- organisms, and in different soils different sets of factors may operate; but while specific

Since a and c are from distinct cosets of the group G n by the subgroup (g,v), it follows that c and cv belong to the support of the left side of this équation. Hence they
