Theinfraredspectraoforganiccompoundsareassociatedwithtransitionsbetweenvibrationalenergylevel.MolecularvibrationsmaybedetectedandmeasuredeitherinaninfraredspectrumorindirectlyinaRamanspectrum.Themostusefulvibrations,fromthepointofviewoftheorganicchemist,occurinthenarrowerrangeof2.5-16μm.Thepositionofanabsorptionbandinthespectrummaybeexpressedinmicrons,butstandardpracticeusesafrequencyscaleintheformofwavenumbers,whicharethereciprocalsofthewavelength,cm-1.Theusefulrangeoftheinfraredforanorganicchemistisbetween4000cm-1atthehigh-frequencyendand625cm-1atthelowfrequencyend.
