THE INFRARED CARBONYL STRETCHING BANDS OF RING SUBSTITUTED ACETOPHENONES

An examination has been made of the carbonyl stretching bands in the infrared spectra of acetophenone derivatives substituted in the aromatic nucleus. The positions, integrated absorption intensities, and widths of the bands have been measured in carbon tetrachloride solution. The variation of these quantities is discussed in relation to the nature and position of the substituent group.
