3. THE ABSORPTION BAND
An absorption band is a range of wavelength ,
frequencies , or energies in the electromagnetic
spectrum which are characteristic of a particular
transition from initial to final state in a substance.

4. TYPES OF ABSORPTION BANDS.
Following types of bands originates as a result of the
possible transition in a compound.
•K* Bands.
•R* Bands.
•B- Bands.
•E- Bands.

5. K* BANDS.
Transition   *.
Examples:
1) dienes, polyenes, enones etc conjugated system containing
compounds.
2) Aromatic compounds substituted by chromophores.
Intensity: 104 .
Solvent effect:
‘enes’ and ‘enones’ are effected differently by changing the
polarity of the solvent.
Enones show red shift with increasing the polarity of the
solvent.

7. R* BANDS
Transition: n  *.
Cause: unsaturated compounds containing
heteroatoms.
Intensity: less ( below 100).
•Also called forbidden bands.
Solvent effect:
with increase in polarity of the solvent shifts to
shorter wavelength.( blue shift)

9. B-BAND.
Transition:   *.
Cause: double bond containing aromatic or hetero-
aromatic molecules.
Intensity: more than R-band.
Solvent effect: hyperchromic shift in heterocyclic
aromatic compounds.
Examples: benzene, styrene phenol etc.

11. E-BANDS.
Transition:   *.
Cause: double bonds in benzenoids.
Characterised by E1 and E2 bands.
• E1-lower wavelength.
• E2-longer wavelenth.
