13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Because 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.
A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the absorption bands you indicate.
