Conversion factor frequency

Tables C. 1-C.4 provide conversion factors from a.u. to SI units and a variety of practical (thermochemical, crystallographic, spectroscopic) non-SI units in common usage. Numerical values are quoted to six-digit precision (though many are known to higher accuracy) in an abbreviated exponential notation, whereby 6.022 14(23) means 6.022 14 x 1023. In this book we follow a current tendency of the quantum chemical literature by expressing relative energies in thermochemical units (kcal mol-1), structural parameters in crystallographic Angstrom units (A), vibrational frequencies in common spectroscopic units (cm-1), and so forth. These choices, although inconsistent according to SI orthodoxy, seem better able to serve effective communication between theoreticians and experimentalists.

The nondimensionalized frequencies are related to linear and angular frequencies by equation 3.36. The conversion factor from linear frequencies in cm to undimension-alized frequencies is chik = 1.4387864 cm (where c is the speed of hght in vacuum). Acoustic branches for the various phases of interest may be derived from acoustic velocities through the guidelines outlined by Kieffer (1980). Vibrational modes at higher frequency may be derived by infrared (IR) and Raman spectra. Note incidentally that the tabulated values of the dispersed sine function in Kieffer (1979c) are 3 times the real ones (i.e., the listed values must be divided by 3 to obtain the appropriate value for each acoustic branch see also Kieffer, 1985).

The factor 352 is a useful conversion factor which absorbs Planck s constant h and gives energies directly in kilogram calories, when frequencies co are expressed in wave-numbers (reciprocals of wave lengths expressed in cms.). 

Section 7.1 gives examples illustrating the use of quantity calculus for converting the values of physical quantities between different units. The table in section 7.2 lists a variety of non-SI units used in chemistry, with the conversion factors to the corresponding SI units. Conversion factors for energy and energy-related units (wavenumber, frequency, temperature and molar energy), and for pressure units, are also presented in tables inside the back cover.

Al, Mo, and W are obtained from the stretching frequencies of 2360 cm 1,1670 cm 1, 1847 cm 1, and 1896 cm 1, respectively, for the corresponding hydrogen compounds by utilizing the isolated harmonic oscillators approximation k values for the other atoms are taken from E. B. Wilson, Jr., J. C. Decius, and P. C. Cross, Molecular Vibrations, p. 175 (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1955). The q s are taken from Table 2 with a conversion factor of 1/657. ... 

These difficulties with the definition of reaction time lead to frequency factors that are difficult to predict or reconcile with physical realities on the basis of fundamental concepts that will be discussed in Chapter 9. The only solution is therefore to make sure that die definition of space time is clearly reported and that the units used can be changed by the reader to other units using clearly understood conversion factors. 

During irradiation with monochromatic light of frequency v, quanta of known energy hv) are delivered. The photochemist often refers to a mole of quanta, which refers to Avogadro s number 6.02 X 10 of quanta, and is called an einstein of radiation. By using equation (1) and the appropriate conversion factors, it is possible to derive the expression... 

The thermal vibrations of atoms in molecules lead to absorption bands in the infrared (IR) region (Bellamy, 1964 Colthup et al., 1964 Hesse et al., 1984). IR bands are most intense if a dipole is induced by the vibration (OH, NH, CH, C=0, C=N). The mass of the interacting atoms Ml and M2 and the bond strengths defined by a force constant f determine the wave number n or energy of an infrared absorption band v = K(f/M ) , where the reduced mass is M = MjM2/Mj+M2 and K is a constant conversion factor. The frequency n for the CH-stretch vibration is around 2900 cm for C=0 close to 1700 cm. Hydrogen bonds lead to a broadening and low-frequency shift of OH and NH vibrations (3400 cm —> 3200 cm ). 

Rearrangement of this equation shows that Icm" is equivalent to light of frequency 3.000 X 10 ° Hz. A high frequency means a high wavenumber. In fact, some chemists in conversation speak of frequency when they mean wavenumber Although incorrect, this serves to remind us that only a simple conversion factor separates the two quantities. 

We have previously mentioned that available modulus data are usually obtained using a tensile testing machine. To provide a conversion factor between these quasi-static values and the ultrasonic data given in this review, we have measured the axial Young s modulus of extruded Vectra B on an Instron tensile machine at a rate of 2mmmin . It is found that 3 (ultrasonic)/ 3 (quasi-static) is about 1.5, which is the expected effect of frequency. 

In many cases, not but eQV is derived from the measured quadrupole splitting either in velocity or in frequency units. O Table 25.1 shows the corresponding conversion factors for some Mossbauer nuclides.
