Spectroscopy • Vibrational bands • 100-5000 cm-1 (1.2 -60 kJ·mol-1) • the stretching and bending motions of the molecule. • depend on the symmetry of the molecule. • There are no restrictions on how a molecule can bend or stretch, but certain bands may not appear in a spectra because they are symmetry forbidden.
Io Is sample cell ir light source ir detector Io Ir reference cell Infrared Spectroscopy An infrared spectra occurs because of an absorption of infrared light.
- + 1 Å Electric Dipole Infrared bands will occur if the motion changes the electric dipole of the molecule. m = e r = (1.602 x 10-19 C)(1 x 10-10 m) = 4.803 x 10-18esu·cm = 4.803 D
C O Infrared Spectroscopy Infrared bands will occur if the motion changes the electric dipole of the molecule. m = 0.1 D Absorption of some of the energy from the electric field causes the dipole to get bigger and smaller. Repulsion of the negative dipole and the negative wave of the electric field results in the atoms moving together.
sample cell visible photon counter monochromatic light source scattered light (visible laser) Raman Spectroscopy A Raman spectra occurs because of a change in the frequency of scattered light.
C O polarizability Raman Spectroscopy Raman bands will occur if the motion changes the polarizability of the molecule. Electron density moves towards positive electric field (and away from negative electric field) generating an induced dipole. mind = a e
C O Raman Spectroscopy Raman bands will occur if the motion changes the polarizability of the molecule. The induced dipole is not permanent, adding to and subtracting from the frequency of the light. Differences in the frequency of the light generate the Raman spectra. Only about 0.1% of the light is actually scattered.

Isotopic Substitution • To identify specific bands in a spectra (i.e., which bands are responsible for symmetric or asymmetric stretching or bending) isotopic substitution is often required. • If the substituted atom moves in a vibrational mode, then the band will shift. • If the isotope is heavier, the band shifts to a lower frequency.
