Formaldehyde Vibrations

Shown below are some vibrations produced by the Formaldehyde molecule. The IR spectrum is shown below to correlate vibrations to the peaks. The peaks that were used were at 1352, 1653, 1875, 3244, and 3334 wavenumbers.

	Jmol0 will appear here.
	CLICK IMAGE TO ACTIVATE 3D Formaldehyde Vibration at 1352 wavenumbers.

This is an HCH out of plane bending and it is not IR active. Therefore it is not correlated to a peak on the IR spectrum of formaldehyde.

	Jmol1 will appear here.
	CLICK IMAGE TO ACTIVATE 3D Formaldehyde Vibration at 1653 wavenumbers.

This is a carbonyl stretch correlated to the strong peak around 1750 wavenumbers on the IR spectrum above.

	Jmol2 will appear here.
	CLICK IMAGE TO ACTIVATE 3D Formaldehyde Vibration at 1875 wavenumbers

This is a carbonyl stretch correlated to the strong peak around 1750 wavenumbers on the IR spectrum above.

	Jmol3 will appear here.
	CLICK IMAGE TO ACTIVATE 3D Formaldehyde Vibration at 3244 wavenumbers

This is a symmetric stretch and it is not IR active. Therefore, it is not correlated to a peak on the IR spectrum.

	Jmol4 will appear here.
	CLICK IMAGE TO ACTIVATE 3D Formaldehyde Vibration at 3334 wavenumbers.

This is an asymmetric stretch and it is not IR active. Therefore, it is not correlated with a peak on the IR spectrum.
