3 Outline The transition dipole moment The vibrational wavefunction The transition dipole moment components Evaluating Integrals the Direct product Integration of even and odd functions Application to vibrational spectroscopy

4 Selection Rules Rules for determining vibrational activity for Infrared: dipole moment must change for Raman: polarizability must change Selection Rule Δν=± 1 (ν is the vibrational quantum number) Applied this by requiring that active modes must have same IR as T vectors (dipole moment) binary functions (polarizability) where do these rules come from?

45 Application to Vibrational Activity Rules for determining vibrational activity for Infrared: dipole moment must change for Raman: polarizability must change Selection Rule Δν=± 1 (ν is the vibrational quantum number) The transition dipole moment for a photon to be absorbed the transition dipole moment must be non-zero µ fi = f λ i 0 λ = µ,α µ = µ x µ y µ z for Infrared important quantity is the dipole moment for Raman important quantity is the polarizability α = α xx α xy α xz α yx α yy α yz α zx α zy α zz

47 Application to Vibrational Activity λ fi = φ f λ φ i 0 λ = µ,α find the direct product of the components Important! { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α known information: ground vibrational state is always totally symmetric symmetry of the excited vibrational state is determined by the excited mode symmetry of IR component is based on the dipole which relates to the translation symmetry symmetry of Raman is based on the polarizability which relate to the binary function symmetry Γ µ = Γ(x) Γ(y) Γ(z) Γ α = Γ(x 2 ) Γ(y 2 ) Γ(z 2 ) Γ(xz) Γ(xy) Γ(yz)

48 Application to Vibrational Activity example H2O { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α know Γ vib = 2A 1 + B 2 know initial state A 1 test each final state A 1 and B 2 Infrared activity A1 mode: { A 1 A 1 } Γ µ = A 1 B 1 B 2 A 1 = { B 1, B 2, A } 1 for A 1 mode : A 1 { B 1, B 2, A } 1 IR active

49 In-Class Problem example H2O { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α know Γ vib = 2A 1 + B 2 Infrared activity: is the B2 mode IR active?

50 In-Class Problem example H2O { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α know Γ vib = 2A 1 + B 2 Infrared activity: is the B2 mode IR active? { B 2 A 1 } Γ µ = B 2 B 1 B 2 A 1 = { A 2, A 1, B } 2 for B 2 mode : A 1 { A 2, A 1, B } 2 IR active

53 In-Class Problem example H2O { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α know Γ vib = 2A 1 + B 2 Raman activity: is the B2 mode Raman active? { B 2 A 1 } Γ α = B 2 A 1 B 1 A 2 B 2 = { B 2, A 2, B 1, A } 1 for B 2 mode : A 1 { B 2, A 2, B 1, A } 1 Raman active

54 Application to Vibrational Activity but the rules are a mode is infrared active if the IR of the vibration is the same as one of those for the translational vectors which represent the components of the dipole moment a mode is Raman active if the IR of the vibration is the same as one of the binary functions which represent the symmetry of the components of the polarizability how do we arrive at the above from the set of irreducible representations spanned by the integrand must contain the totally symmetric irreducible representation

55 Application to Vibrational Activity { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α the initial ground state is ALWAYS totally symmetric { Γ f A } 1 Γ λ where A1 represents the totally symmetric IR BUT A1 is like identity Γ f Γ λ Γ f A 1 = Γ f the integral is only non-zero if the cross product contains A1 Γ f Γ λ = A 1,! { } this is only true when the operator is squared Γm Γ m = A 1,! { } THUS Γ f = Γ λ to be IR active a mode must span the same IR as a component of μ (x, y,z)

56 Key Points be able to explain the simplifications we have employed in deriving the transition dipole moment be able to describe the general equation for the nuclear wavefunction be able to show using a Taylor expansion the origin of the rules for IR and Raman activity be able to demonstrate the direct product of IRs giving examples be able to explain, using a simple example, why only totally symmetric integrals are non-zero be able to determine if an integral is zero or non-zero by symmetry starting from an expression of the form given below be able to explain using direct products the origin of the rules that a mode is IR active only if the IR is the same as one to the translational vectors, and similarly for Raman λ α = χ f λ χ i 0 λ = µ,α using the expression below be able to determine when a mode is IR or Raman active { Γ f Γ i } Γ λ where λ = µ or α
