A New Relation between the N—H Stretching Frequencies of Primary Amides

Abstract

BELLAMY et al.1, from the data obtained for a number of aromatic primary amines in dilute solutions, have shown that the N—H asymmetric and symmetric stretching frequencies are related by the expression νs = 345.5 + 0.875 νas. The standard deviation of the calculated symmetric stretching frequencies from those of the recorded values is about 5 cm−1. These workers also mention that the same relation would not be obeyed in situations where the two N—H links are non-equivalent.
