Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy
Instructor: Kanishka Biswas
Introduction: Electromagnetic spectrum – Different type of molecular energies – Different type of spectroscopy – Probability of transition and selection rules (derivation from perturbation theory) – Einstein absorption coefficient – Absorption and emission spectra – spectral line width
Symmetry and point group: Use in spectroscopy: Symmetry elements and operation – point group – point group of simple chemical compound – character tables and irreducible representation – use in vibrational spectroscopy and determination of hybridization.
Rotational Spectroscopy: Rigid rotor energy level – Selection rule – Intensity of spectral line – Effect of isotopic substitution – Application of spectrum to determine bond strength – Non rigid rotator – polyatomic molecules- Application of rotation
Infrared and Raman spectroscopy:
Part A. Energy of diatomic molecule – Simple harmonic oscillator – Anharmonic oscillator – Diatomic vibrating rotator – Energy level diagram – selection rules of vibration-rotation spectra- Breakdown of the Born Oppenheimer approximation – Vibrations of polyatomic molecules – influence of rotation on the vibration of poly atomic molecule – Simple examples.
Part B. Classical and quantum theory of Raman effect – Pure rotational Raman spectra – Vibrational Raman spectra – Rule of mutual exclusion – overtone and combination vibration – rotational fine structure – simple structure determination from Raman and infrared spectra.
Electronic spectroscopy:
Part A. Electronic structure of atom- Angular and spin moment – coupling of angular momentum – Russel-Saunders coupling – spectroscopic term symbols and selection rule – spectra of alkali metal and hydrogen atom – Franck-Condon principle – electronic-vibrational coupling – d-d transition – charge transfer transition- electronic spectra of molecules- Ï€ to Ï€* transition in organic compound.
Part B. The fates of electronically excited states – Fluorescence & phosphorescence Dissociation & pre-dissociation – Quantum yield – Quenching (Static & Dynamic) – Resonance energy transfer.
