Signal detection techniques experimental 1) Direct detection, dispersion type spectrometers combined with lock-in technique ) Fourier transform techniques based on idea of Michelson interferometer
Infrared spectroscopy dispersion type system experimental Sometimes called dispersion IR spectrometer since it includes a prism or grating to disperse the electro.mag. radiation Idea of operation, briefly: The chopper splits the beam that consecutive the reference cell or the sample cell signal will reach the detector The mirror acts as a diffraction gratings selects a partition of the spectra. If the sample does not adsorb at the selected frequency then the reference beam and sample beam have the same intensity and the amplifier will yield a zero signal Typically lock-in technique is use i.e. the amplifier is a little more sophisticated than shown in the scheme above.
AES Lock In technique experimental input AC amplifier band pass filters Phase sensitive amplifier Low pass filter output Phase shifter Modulator Reference Lock in idea: Input signal - modulated with ω and zero phase lag with respect to the reference. Output signal - constant voltage level. All other signals will be averaged out by the phase sensitive amplifier. A lock in amplifier is a filter with an extremely narrow band width. Side effects Nyquist equation: Signal-to-noise ratio ~ sqrt(band width) Background not modulated: it will be subtracted
FT IR idea Michelson Interferometer experimental Figure 19.18 Engel/Reid
Infrared spectroscopy setup ---FTIR Fourier-transform IR spectrometer experimental Idea of operation: The source beam will be split. One part arrives at the detector directly (a,b,d,d,b,f,g). The other one will be delayed (a,c,e,e,c,f,g) by going a longer way. The difference in the traveling path length of these two beams will be modulated by a movable mirror. (That s the clue.) The interference of these two beams will be analyzed at the detector. The spectra (intensity vs. wave number) is the Fourier transformation of the interference signal (intensity vs. position of the mirror).
More than one frequency of the source experimental Main idea: We measure an intensity as a function of time (i.e. as a function of the position of the nd mirror which is changing with time) that is the interference of the sample and reference beam. This intensity vs. time signal is converted in an intensity vs, frequency signal by means of a Fourier transformation.

EXAMPLE: Rotation & vibration spectra Examples from Levine PChem Quantum mechanics
EXAMPLE: Rotation & vibration spectra Examples from Engel s book (1 st edition) PChem Quantum mechanics Q19.3) What is the difference between a permanent and a dynamic dipole moment? The permanent dipole moment arises from a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms. The dynamic dipole moment is the variation in the dipole moment as the molecule vibrates.
EXAMPLE: Rotation & vibration spectra Examples from Engel s book (1 st edition) PChem Quantum mechanics Q19.5) The number of molecules in a given energy level is proportional E to kt Where E e is the difference in energy between the level in question and the ground state. How is it possible that a higher lying rotational energy level can have a higher population than the ground state? Although the number of molecules in a given energy level is E proportional to kt e, it is also proportional to the degeneracy of the level, J+1. For small E values of the degeneracy of a level can increase faster with J than kt falls. Under this condition, a higher lying rotational energy level can have a higher population than the ground state.
Q19.7) What is the explanation for the absence of a peak in the rotationalvibrational spectrum near 3000 cm 1 in Figure 19.14? This energy would correspond to the J = 0 J = 0 transition, which is forbidden by the selection rule for rotational transitions in diatomic molecules.
P19.) Isotopic substitution is used to identify characteristic groups in an unknown compound using vibrational spectroscopy. Consider the C=C bond in ethene (C H 4 ). By what factor would the frequency change if deuterium were substituted for all the hydrogen atoms? Treat the H and D atoms as being rigidly attached to the carbon. ν µ D ν µ H CH -CH ( ) = = = CD -CD ( 16.0) 14.01 amu 8.0 0.935 3.04 amu
P19.11) An infrared absorption spectrum of an organic compound is shown in the following figure. Using the characteristic group frequencies listed in Section 19.6, decide whether this compound is more likely to be ethyl amine, pentanol, or acetone. The major peak near 1700 cm 1 is the C=O stretch and the peak near 100 cm 1 is a C C C stretch. These peaks are consistent with the compound being acetone. Ethyl amine should show a strong peak near 3350 cm 1 and pentanol should show a strong peak near 3400 cm 1. Because these peaks are absent, these compounds can be ruled out.
P19.14) The rotational constant for 17 I 79 Br determined from microwave spectroscopy is 0.1141619 cm 1. The atomic masses of 17 I and 79 Br are 16.904473 amu and 78.918336 amu, respectively.
