Concept introduction:
Electronic spectra are formed by the excitation and relaxation process of electrons. The excitation process is due to the transition of an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. The relaxation process is due to the transition of an electron from a higher energy level to lower energy level.

255 nm for naphthalene?
The IR frequency of C≡N¯ in fac-[IrCl3(C≡N)3] is 2200 cm-1. Estimate the IR frequency of C≡N¯ for fac-[IrF3(C≡N)3] with an explanation.
13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet.
Draw an isomer of C5H11Cl that would be expected to have four resonances in its 13C NMR spectra.
