2. Indicate the IR signals you might expect to see in an IR spectrum of your compound. Write these in beside the functional group labels. Refer to the handout given in class. Scan the document with information about the functional groups and IR signals and save it as a word file. Submit this as a word file with the document below to canvas.
3. In the Tools folder on canvas homepage, there is a molecular modeling handout/tutorial to practice building simple molecules musing Spartan software. Print it out for handy reference.
Go to the computer lab (CCIL) in the Chemistry building, and learn how to use the Spartan software to build several simple molecules using the tutorial.
Generate the structure of your adopted molecule, refer to the structure you submitted last week to accomplish this task.
“Minimize” the energy of the molecule you draw. This will give you a conformation that corresponds to the minimum energy. In actuality, this task must be performed multiple times for accuracy, but you need to do it only once for this assignment. Save the image,
Print the structure, recording the number indicating the minimized energy – you may need to write it in by hand.
You must get the Lab Monitors initials on the print-out. Scan this printout, save it as a word document and then submit it in canvas. If it is not saved with a .doc I may not be able to open it!
4. Remember to post references for this work: functional groups, IR spectra and molecular modeling.
