This completes our introduction to the subject of molecular spectroscopy. More advanced treatments of many of the subjects treated here as well as many aspects of modern experimental spectroscopy can be found in the text by Zare on angular momentum as well as in Steinfeld s text Molecules and Radiation, 2 Edition, by J. I. Steinfeld, MIT Press (1985).

The wave functions are the central quantities, and therefore we showed examples for all the four systems considered. Inspection of wave functions reveals more or less directly how the observables generally behave. This is, of course, an obvious statement. Knowing the wave functions is the great asset of theory compared to experimental spectroscopy, and it is not difficult to surmise that many spectroscopic misinterpretations could be avoided if the underlying wave functions were known. 

Electron transfer (ET) is generally cast in terms of charge-localized diabatic states and charge densities (the initial and final state densities referred to above as pa) [28-30], These states differ from the corresponding eigenstates (the adiabatic states), which may be probed experimentally (spectroscopy) or theoretically (e.g., Cl or TD DFT), and various procedures have been developed for transforming adiabatic to diabatic states [60]. In one... 

Over the decades of the twentieth century, experimental physicists worked diligently to measure the Rydberg constant with ever greater precision. It has been the hydrogen atom that has provided the principal means for this quest. More specifically, it has been primarily the first and most prominent spectral line in the Balmer series, the bright red line, that has been the focus of interest. For this reason among others, the IT line has been studied more intensively than any other line in experimental spectroscopy. ... 

In the spirit of the above observation, anharmonic vibrational spectroscopy calculations provide, by comparison with experiment, an evaluation of the quality of the potential surface used. It seems important to use spectroscopy as a way to compare the relative accuracies of different force fields. The results may, of course, differ from case to case. A crude general picture that seems to emerge from a limited set of small molecules (that includes HjO, HCOOH, CH3COOH) [104] indicates that MP2, B97 and B3LYP are very roughly comparable in the agreement with experimental spectroscopy, while HCTH and BLYP functionals do significantly less well (in this order). Much more can be learned about the quality of potential surfaces from different types of ab initio and DFT methods, but this will require systematic studies for various types of molecules. 

Studies of fluorescent molecules in SCFs have done much to improve the understanding of solute-fluid and solute-solute interactions. The experimental spectroscopy cells are similar to those used for UV-Vis spectroscopic studies [19-21]. A novel cell design has been described by Bright et al. [22] which is constructed from a standard stainless steel fitting known as a cross. 

The weak hydrogen bonds are studied by various methods. Experimentally, spectroscopy and crystallography are most often used. Formation constants or thermal properties of an interacting system also provide useful information. Conformational analyses of appropriate molecules may provide information, though indirect, for the weak...

The major difficulty of the diminished reactivity of benzene (CeHe) relative to that expected for alkenes alluded to earlier vide supra) could not be resolved by this (or any other equally inventive) suggestion. Indeed, until the tools of MO theory and experimental spectroscopy were integrated into the mainstream of organic chemistry, aromaticity was largely defined in terms of unexpected stability as measured by heats of hydrogenation -AH°, Chapter 3) and (with somewhat circular reasoning) by finding reactions that were characteristic of aromatic compounds vide infra).

The complex refractive index is an important quantity. It shows that refraction and absorption are closely related with each other and these should always be treated as a pair. It may be said that the purpose of experimental spectroscopy is to determine quantitatively the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index for any material. However, this... 

FIGURE 17.11 Prof. James F. Harrison of the Michigan State University Chemistry Department carried out early calculations on the excited states of molecules using accurate configuration interaction methods, particularly BH [27] under the direction of his advisor Prof Leland C. Allen at Princeton University. He was one of the first to use accurate computational methods to study the triplet methylene molecule CH2 which is very important in synthetic organic chemistry. In particular, his calculation of the electron spin resonance parameters of CH2 was a rare case of computational theory guiding experimental spectroscopy at a time in the history of quantum chemistry that estabhshed the credibility of such calculations. He is also a contributor to Chapters 16 and 17.
