General issues of spectroscopies

We will learn two types of spectroscopies: absorption/emission and scattering.

We will learn their relationship to dipole moment and polarizability as well as perturbation theories.

Absorption/emission versus scattering spectroscopy Absorption/emission spectroscopy:

microwave, IR, and UV/vis absorption as well as fluorescence

Scattering spectroscopy: Raman

Dipole moment and polarizability Absorption spectroscopies (such as IR

spectroscopy) are related to the dipole moment and its changes.

Scattering spectroscopies (such as Raman spectroscopy) are related to the polarizability and its changes.

Polarizability – softness of wave function; the larger the polarizability, the more easily the wave function is distorted by external electric field to create an induced dipole.

Classical (Smekal) theory of Rayleigh and Raman scattering An oscillating electric field (incident

photon) causes the molecule to have an induced dipole:

Polarizability varies with molecular vibration; so does induced dipole:

0 0cos t

Absorption/emission versus Raman spectroscopies Absorption/emission occurs

when molecular vibration, rotation, etc. alter dipole moment. The transition tends to transform as x, y, z.

Raman occurs when molecular vibration, rotation, etc. alter polarizability. The transition tends to transform as xx, yy, zz, xy, yz, zx.

Summary

We have the general theories of absorption/emission spectroscopy and scattering (Raman) spectroscopy.

We have learned the relationship between absorption/emission spectroscopies to dipole moment and that between scattering (Raman) spectroscopy and polarizability.

We have made references to first- and second-order perturbation theories.
