  1. Raman Spectroscopy 1923 – Inelastic light scattering is predicted by A. Smekel 1928 – Landsberg and Mandelstam see unexpected frequency shifts in scattering from quartz 1928 – C.V. Raman and K.S. Krishnan see “feeble fluorescence” from neat solvents First Raman Spectra: Filtered Hg arc lamp spectrum: C6H6 Scattering http://www.springerlink.com/content/u4d7aexmjm8pa1fv/fulltext.pdf

  2. Raman Spectroscopy 1923 – Inelastic light scattering is predicted by A. Smekel 1928 – Landsberg and Mandelstam see unexpected frequency shifts in scattering from quartz 1928 – C.V. Raman and K.S. Krishnan see “feeble fluorescence” from neat solvents 1930 – C.V. Raman wins Nobel Prize in Physics 1961 – Invention of laser makes Raman experiments reasonable 1977 – Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is discovered 1997 – Single molecule SERS is possible

  3. Rayleigh Scattering • Elastic ( does not change) • Random direction of emission • Little energy loss Eugene Hecht, Optics, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, 1998.

  4. virtual state Scattered Excitation v” = 1 v” = 0 Infrared (absorption) Raman (scattering) Raman Spectroscopy 1 in 107 photons is scattered inelastically Rotational Raman Vibrational Raman Electronic Raman

  5. Classical Theory of Raman Effect mind = aE polarizability Colthup et al., Introduction to Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, 3rd ed., Academic Press, Boston: 1990

  6. Photon-Molecule Interactions When light interacts with a vibrating diatomic molecule, the induced dipole moment has 3 components: Rayleigh scatter Anti-Stokes Raman scatter Stokes Raman scatter Kellner et al., Analytical Chemistry

  7. Must also have a change in polarizability Raman Scattering Selection rule: Dv = ±1 Overtones: Dv = ±2, ±3, … Classical Description does not suggest any difference between Stokes and Anti-Stokes intensities www.andor.com

  8. Are you getting the concept? Calculate the ratio of Anti-Stokes to Stokes scattering intensity when T = 300 K and the vibrational frequency is 1440 cm-1. h = 6.63 x 10-34 Js k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K

  9. Presentation of Raman Spectra lex = 1064 nm = 9399 cm-1 Breathing mode: 9399 – 992 = 8407 cm-1 Stretching mode: 9399 – 3063 = 6336 cm-1

  10. Mutual Exclusion Principle • For molecules with a center of symmetry, no IR active transitions are Raman active and vice versa • Symmetric molecules IR-active vibrations are not Raman-active. Raman-active vibrations are not IR-active. O = C = O O = C = O Raman active Raman inactive IR inactive IR active

  17. Advantages of Raman over IR • Water can be used as solvent. • Very suitable for biological samples in native state (because water can be used as solvent). • Although Raman spectra result from molecular vibrations at IR frequencies, spectrum is obtained using visible light or NIR radiation. • =>Glass and quartz lenses, cells, and optical fibers can be used. Standard detectors can be used. • Few intense overtones and combination bands => few spectral overlaps. • Totally symmetric vibrations are observable. • Raman intensities a to concentration and laser power.

  18. Advantages of IR over Raman • Simpler and cheaper instrumentation. • Less instrument dependent than Raman spectra because IR spectra are based on measurement of intensity ratio. • Lower detection limit than (normal) Raman. • Background fluorescence can overwhelm Raman. • More suitable for vibrations of bonds with very low polarizability (e.g. C–F).
