What is spectroscopy?

Spectroscopy study the properties of matter through its interaction with

electromagnetic radiation (different frequency components).

Latin: “spectron” — ghost (or spirit)

Greek: “σκοπειν” — (scopie = to see)

In spectroscopy, we aren’t looking directly at the molecules (the matter),

we study its “ghost”, obtained from the interaction of electromagnetic waves

with molecules.

Different type of spectroscopy (incident electromagnetic waves with

different frequency/wavelength/wavenumber/energy) involve different picture

(different spectrum).

From spectroscopy measurements we can to extract different information

(energies of electronic, vibrational, rotational states; structure and symmetry of

molecules; dynamic information, etc).

Goal: to understand:

- how electromagnetic radiations interacts with matter and

- how we can use the obtained information in order to understand the sample.

The basic idea:

Characterize light after sample

Characterize change in sample

(photoacoustic spectroscopy)

(borders on photochemistry)

Questions:

What does light do to sample?

How do we produce a spectrum?

What does a spectrum measure?

Interaction of light with a sample can influence - the sample

- the light

(1) excitation; (2) detection

In vibrational spectroscopy we measure how a sample modifies the incident light,

in order to understand what light do to the sample!

1) Absorption: The sample can absorb a part of incident light

A change in the intensity appear: emergent light differs from incident light

Sample attenuates the incident light (at particular frequencies).

Two type of measurements:

→ absorbance A = log(I0/I)

→ transmission T = I/I0

If we measure the absorbance of light on entire range of incident radiation,

we will obtained the absorption spectrum.

A - frequency (Hz, 1/s)

λ - wavelength (nm, mm)

- wavenumber (cm-1)

Microwaves absorption (involve rotational transitions)

Infrared absorption (involve vibrational transitions)

UV-Vis absorption (involve electronical transitions)

2) Emission:

Excitation can induces emission of light from the sample (usually of different

frequency from incident light!).

(Emitted in all directions)

same frequency:

Rayleigh scattering

different frequency

Raman scattering (vibrational transitions are involved)

Fluorescence (emission from excited electronic singlet states)

Phosphorescence (emission from excited electronic triplet states)

3) Optical Rotation:

Types of molecule motion

Motion of whole molecule

• Translational motion: whole molecule changes

its location in three dimensional space

• Rotational motion: whole molecule spins around

an axis in three dimensional space

Motion within molecule

• Vibrational motion: motion that changes the shape of

the molecule (periodic motion of atoms)

- stretching (bonds length deformation)

- bending (bonds angle deformation)

Page 10: Spectroscopia = metoda experimentală prin care se …dana.maniu/OS/BS_1.pdfschauble/molecular_vibrations.htm . Molecular vibrations of molecules 2 c i dt dR m 2 1 E ... mobile p m

A molecular vibration occurs when atoms in a molecule are in periodic motion.

The frequency of the periodic motion is known as the vibration frequency.

A molecular vibration is a periodic distortion of a molecule from its

equilibrium geometry.

The energy required for a molecule to vibrate is not continuous (is quantized) and

is (generally) in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Diatomic molecule vibration

The simplest model to describe the vibration of a diatomic molecule (two atoms

linked by a chemical bond) is the classical analog of a spring connecting two bodies.

The strength of the bond corresponds to the force constant k of the spring

The spring behavior gives us a description of how the molecule energy changes if

we distort the bond.

When the spring equation (F = -kx) is applied to the

vibrating particles the frequency of the vibration is related

to the masses of the particles and to the force constant k.

In a similar way, the frequency of the molecule vibration

(ν) is related to the masses of the atoms (m) and to the

strength of the chemical bond (k).

Page 17: Spectroscopia = metoda experimentală prin care se …dana.maniu/OS/BS_1.pdfschauble/molecular_vibrations.htm . Molecular vibrations of molecules 2 c i dt dR m 2 1 E ... mobile p m

In order to describe the molecule vibration we must define the potential energy (V)

of the molecule.

The potential energy of a harmonic oscillator (ideal molecule) is V(x) = 1/2k·x2

where V(x) = potential energy,

k = chemical bond (force constant)

x = elongation/compression of the bond from its equilibrium position

At the equilibrium position, the potential energy is zero!

The molecule is considered isolated, so total energy (E), linear momentum (p)

and angular momentum (M) are constants.

Vibration of polyatomic molecules. Normal modes

For a molecule with N atoms, each atom has three motional degrees of

freedom. Thus, the molecule possesses a total of 3N degrees of freedom.

Chemical bonds serve to constrain the motion of the atoms to well defined

vibrational modes (normal modes).

Linear molecules have three unique translations, but only two unique rotations.

The rotation about the bond axis does not count, since it changes neither

positions of the atoms, nor does it change the angular momentum.

Thus, from the total of 3N degrees of freedom, we subtract three translations and

two rotations, leaving 3N-5 vibrational degrees of freedom.

Non-linear molecules have three unique translations, and three unique rotations.

Thus, from the total of 3N degrees of freedom, we subtract three translations and

three rotations, leaving 3N-6 vibrational degrees of freedom.

The number of “normal modes” is equal to the vibrational degree of freedom.

Page 29: Spectroscopia = metoda experimentală prin care se …dana.maniu/OS/BS_1.pdfschauble/molecular_vibrations.htm . Molecular vibrations of molecules 2 c i dt dR m 2 1 E ... mobile p m

The vibrations of a molecule are given by its normal modes.

Normal modes

Linear molecules have 3N - 5 normal modes, where N is the number of atoms.

Non-linear molecules have 3N - 6 normal modes.

Non-circular molecules have N-1 stretching modes.

Linear molecules have 2N-4 bending modes.

Non-linear molecules have 2N-5 bending modes.

A normal mode is a molecular vibration where some or all atoms vibrate

together with the same frequency in a defined manner.

Normal modes are basic vibrations in terms of which any other vibration is

derived by superposing suitable modes in the required proportion.

No normal mode is expressible in terms of any other normal mode. Each one is

pure and has no component of any other normal mode (i.e. they are orthogonal

to each other).

Characteristics of Normal Modes

1. Each normal mode acts like a simple harmonic oscillator.

2. All atoms oscillate with same frequency.

A normal mode is a concerted motion of many atoms.

3. The center of mass doesn’t move.

4. All atoms pass through their equilibrium positions at the same time.

5. Normal modes are independent; they don’t interact.

Normal modes are useful in order to describe the vibration of polyatomic

molecules!

Polyatomic molecules

An excited vibrational state (of a polyatomic molecule) involve more than one

level of energy (more than one vibrational quantum number must be used!).

Normal modes of vibration for CO2 molecule:

The vibrational energy state of CO2 molecule can be described by three quantum

numbers: (v1v2v3)

v1 = Symmetric stretching quantum number.

v2 = Bending quantum number.

v3 = Asymmetric stretching quantum number.

- 4 normal modes (3·3-5 = 4), but 2 are degenerated (bending modes).

Ex:

CO2 have 3 different vibrations (normal modes)!

Page 35: Spectroscopia = metoda experimentală prin care se …dana.maniu/OS/BS_1.pdfschauble/molecular_vibrations.htm . Molecular vibrations of molecules 2 c i dt dR m 2 1 E ... mobile p m

→ Symmetric stretching mode (v100) - corresponds to a symmetric stretching along

the internuclear axis (both oxygen atoms moving away from or toward the carbon

atom at the same time).

→ Asymmetric stretching mode (00v3) - corresponds to an asymmetric stretching

along the internuclear axis (both oxygen atoms moving to the left or right together

while the carbon atom moves in the opposite direction between them).
