IR spectra of chloromethyl derivatives of dioxans and dioxolans

A cyclic structure is demonstrated for the chloroacetals produced from chloroacetaldehyde and polyhydric alcohols. The stretching frequency of the chloromethyl group is not affected by the dioxan and dioxolan rings, or by the number of chlorine atoms in the molecule.     

Vibrational spectra of p-chlorobenzaldehyde and its deuterated derivatives

The vibrational modes of parachlorobenzaldehyde are assigned using infrared and Raman spectra, valence force field calculations of normal coordinates, and deuteration effects. Low temperature and isotopic studies show that the band at 310 cm^?1 previously observed as a single band is a closely spaced doublet. One component is assigned as the out-of-plane CCl wagging mode, the other as a mixed CClCHO in-plane bending deformation. A feature of the spectra in all the isotopic parachlorobenzaldehydes is an intense doublet in the 1700 cm^?1 region interpreted as Fermi resonance between a combination band and the carbonyl stretching mode.     

Overtone spectroscopy of some benzaldehyde derivatives

Overtone spectrum of o, m and p-nitrobenzaldehydes and p-chlorobenzaldehyde has been studied in 2000–12000 cm⁻¹ region. Vibrational frequencies and anharmonicity constants for aryl as well as alkyl CH stretch vibrations have been determined. We have also determined the internuclear distances for the aryl CH bond in the different molecules. The small variation observed in these distances is an indication of the substitution effect. It is observed that in the case of p-disubstituted benzens, the shift in aryl CH bond is proportional to sum of the Hammet σ of the substituents. However in the case of o-disubstituted benzenes it is only 80% of the para-substituted shift.
