N–H st
3500–3100 cm -1 Position and shape depend on the extent of
association, often different bands for Hbonded and free NH, always at least two
bands for NH 2
C=O st
(amide I)
1700–1650 cm -1 Strong; range for amides as well as for δand larger lactams, higher wavenumbers
for β- and γ-lactams
N–H δ and
N–C=O st sy
(amide II)
1630–1510 cm -1 Often strong, missing in the case of tertiary
amides and lactams
