Hydrogen fundamental vibration frequency

Lunelli and collaborators described the crystal structure of sodium tmns-bis(dicyanomethylene)squarate 26 as well as computer calculations of the fundamental vibrational frequencies of the respective dianion [82]. In this study, the crystal structure of the free anion of sodium tra s-bis(dicyanomethylene)squarate 26 tetrahydrated reveals its Z)2h symmetry with an essentially planar structure (deviation of approximately 0.05 A). Water molecules were found to be essential in the crystal architecture because they coordinate with the sodium cations and provide stability to the crystal through strong hydrogen bonds. After determining the bond distances, the study concluded that the structure exhibits the lowest perturbation, as evidenced by the canonical forms with negative charge at the most electronegative atoms of the molecule. 

Ground State. Hydrogen azide has Cg symmetry the six fundamentals (5A + 1A") are all active in IR and Raman spectra [1, 2]. The vibrational spectra of HN3 show great complexity despite the small number of fundamental vibrations because of strong Coriolis coupling and Fermi resonances [3] as described above. The fundamental vibrational frequencies of HN3 and DN3 are given in Table 12 and those of N-substltuted Isotopomers in Table 13.

Color from Vibrations and Rotations. Vibrational excitation states occur in H2O molecules in water. The three fundamental frequencies occur in the infrared at more than 2500 nm, but combinations and overtones of these extend with very weak intensities just into the red end of the visible and cause the blue color of water and of ice when viewed in bulk (any green component present derives from algae, etc). This phenomenon is normally seen only in H2O, where the lightest atom H and very strong hydrogen bonding combine to move the fundamental vibrations closer to the visible than in any other material. 

However, what unite all applications of NIRS for PAC are the unique features of the NIR spectrum. The NIR is in effect the chemical spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom in its various molecular manifestations. The frequency range of the NIR from about 4000 cm-1 up to 12 500 cm-1 (800-2500 nm) covers mainly overtones and combinations of the lower-energy fundamental molecular vibrations that include at least one X—H bond vibration. These are characteristically significantly weaker in absorption cross-section, compared with the fundamental vibrational bands from which they originate. They are faint echoes of these mid-IR absorptions. Thus, for example, NIR absorption bands formed as combinations of mid-IR fundamental frequencies (for example v + u2), typically have intensities ten times weaker than the weaker of the two original mid-IR bands. For NIR overtone absorptions (for example 2v, 2v2) the decrease in intensity can be 20-100 times that of the original band. 

The initial step in the double-resonance scheme is the excitation of a local mode hydrogen stretch vibration localized in a hydrogen halide moiety. In principle, this can be done either at the fundamental or one of the overtones. With presently available Ti sapphire lasers and parametric oscillators (OPOs), it is possible to saturate fundamentals and first overtones, thus ensuring maximum population transfer. Second overtones cannot be pumped as efficiently, but offer enormous discrimination against background and can be used to shift frequencies out of the vacuum ultraviolet and into a more user-friendly part of the ultraviolet. Thus, first and second overtones are very attractive. 

The spatial orientation of atoms with respect to each other also affects their vibrational frequency. For example, the coupling or interaction of two fundamental vibration groups of similar frequencies in close proximity within a molecule and the inter- or intramolecular hydrogen bonding affect the vibrational frequencies of the molecule.
