As shown in Figure 5, the infrared frequencies for the Rb+ and Cs+ exchanged forms are only slightly different from that of the parent Na+ form. Furthermore, the maximum exchange levels at room temperature are considerably lower than those of other monovalent cations (69% and...

The vibrational frequencies are from the infrared studies of Chackalackal and Stafford (10) and the comparisons of Glguere and Savoie (1 ). The infrared studies led to the assig nement of nine vibrational frequencies while the remaining six were estimated (10) by comparison with the infrared frequencies for the crystal and Raman frequencies for the liquid.

Infrared spectroscopy has broad appHcations for sensitive molecular speciation. Infrared frequencies depend on the masses of the atoms iavolved ia the various vibrational motions, and on the force constants and geometry of the bonds connecting them band shapes are determined by the rotational stmcture and hence by the molecular symmetry and moments of iaertia. The rovibrational spectmm of a gas thus provides direct molecular stmctural information, resulting ia very high specificity. The vibrational spectmm of any molecule is unique, except for those of optical isomers. Every molecule, except homonuclear diatomics such as O2, N2, and the halogens, has at least one vibrational absorption ia the iafrared. Several texts treat iafrared iastmmentation and techniques (22,36—38) and thek appHcations (39—42). 

Frequency-Modulation Spectroscopy. Frequency-modulation spectroscopy (tins) is a high sensitivity null-background infrared technique for measuring absorbances down to 10 with fast acquisition speeds. Fms involves frequency-modulating a laser source at COq to produce a carrier frequency having sidebands at cJq where is an integral multiple of the modulation frequency. Dye lasers and many other single-line sources can... 

SFG [4.309, 4.310] uses visible and infrared lasers for generation of their sum frequency. Tuning the infrared laser in a certain spectral range enables monitoring of molecular vibrations of adsorbed molecules with surface selectivity. SFG includes the capabilities of SHG and can, in addition, be used to identify molecules and their structure on the surface by analyzing the vibration modes. It has been used to observe surfactants at liquid surfaces and interfaces and the ordering of interfacial... 

The Raman and infrared spectra for C70 are much more complicated than for Cfio because of the lower symmetry and the large number of Raman-active modes (53) and infrared active modes (31) out of a total of 122 possible vibrational mode frequencies. Nevertheless, well-resolved infrared spectra [88, 103] and Raman spectra have been observed [95, 103, 104]. Using polarization studies and a force constant model calculation [103, 105], an attempt has been made to assign mode symmetries to all the intramolecular modes. Making use of a force constant model based on Ceo and a small perturbation to account for the weakening of the force constants for the belt atoms around the equator, reasonable consistency between the model calculation and the experimentally determined lattice modes [103, 105] has been achieved. 

Work has also been conducted that involved the investigation, via infrared spectroscopy, of matrix-isolated, plutonium oxides (40), with the appropriate precautions being taken because of the toxicity of plutonium and its compounds. A sputtering technique was used to vaporize the metal. The IR spectra of PuO and PUO2 in both Ar and Kr matrices were identified, with the observed frequencies for the latter (794.25 and 786.80 cm", respectively) assigned to the stretchingmode of Pu 02. Normal-coordinate analysis of the PUO2 isotopomers, Pu 02, Pu 02, and Pu 0 0 in Ar showed that the molecule is linear. The PuO molecule was observed in multiple sites in Ar matrices, but not in Kr, with Pu 0 at 822.28 cm" in the most stable, Ar site, and at 817.27 cm" in Kr. No evidence for PuOa was observed. 

The simple harmonic oscillator picture of a vibrating molecule has important implications. First, knowing the frequency, one can immediately calculate the force constant of the bond. Note from Eq. (11) that k, as coefficient of r, corresponds to the curvature of the interatomic potential and not primarily to its depth, the bond energy. However, as the depth and the curvature of a potential usually change hand in hand, the infrared frequency is often taken as an indicator of the strength of the bond. Second, isotopic substitution can be useful in the assignment of frequencies to bonds in adsorbed species, because frequency shifts due to isotopic substitution (of for example D for H in adsorbed ethylene, or OD for OH in methanol) can be predicted directly. 

Infrared frequencies are characteristic for certain bonds in molecules and they can often be used to identify chemisorbed species on surfaces. The infrared spectrum of CO or NO can sometimes also be used to recognize sites on the surface of a catalyst, as the following example shows. 

In the wine industry, FTIR has become a useful technique for rapid analysis of industrial-grade glycerol adulteration, polymeric mannose, organic acids, and varietal authenticity. Urbano Cuadrado et al. (2005) studied the applicability of spectroscopic techniques in the near- and mid-infrared frequencies to determine multiple wine parameters alcoholic degree, volumic mass, total acidity, total polyphenol index, glycerol, and total sulfur dioxide in a much more efficient approach than standard and reference methods in terms of time, reagent, and operation errors. 

The infrared spectra for various aluminum oxides and hydroxides are shown in Figure 3. Figure 3a is a-alumina (Harshaw A13980), ground to a fine powder with a surface area of 4 m /g. The absorption between 550 and 900 cm is due to two overlapping lattice modes, and the low frequency band at 400 cm is due to another set of lattice vibrations. These results are similar to those obtained by reflection measurements, except that the powder does not show as... 

Besides these response properties of a molecule we will also devote one section in this chapter to the experimentally important infrared intensities, which are needed to complement the theoretically predicted frequencies for the complete computational simulation of an IR spectrum. This discussion belongs in the present chapter because the infrared intensities are related to the derivative of the permanent electric dipole moment p with respect to geometrical parameters.
