Intensities infrared

If the vibration does not produee a modulation of the dipole moment (e.g., as with the symmetrie streteh vibration of the CO2 moleeule), its infrared intensity vanishes beeause 0 i/3Ra) = 0. One says that sueh transitions are infrared "inaetive". 

If the vibrational funetions are deseribed within the harmonie oseillator approximation, it ean be shown that the integrals vanish unless vf = vi +1, vi -1 (and that these integrals are proportional to (vi +1)E2 and (vi)i/2 the respeetive eases). Even when Xvf and Xvi are rather non-harmonie, it turns out that sueh Av = 1 transitions have the largest integrals and therefore the highest infrared intensities. For these reasons, transitions that eorrespond to Av = 1 are ealled "fundamental" those with Av = 2 are ealled "first overtone" transitions. 

In summary then, vibrations for which the molecule s dipole moment is modulated as the vibration occurs (i.e., for which (3 i/3Ra) is non-zero) and for which Av = 1 tend to have large infrared intensities overtones of such vibrations tend to have smaller intensities, and those for which (3 i/3Ra) = 0 have no intensity. 

Figure 6.2 shows typically how a varies with r da/dr is usually positive and, unlike d/r/dr in Figure 6.1, varies little with r. For this reason vibrational Raman intensities are less sensitive than are infrared intensities to the environment of the molecule, such as the solvent in a solution specttum. 

One of the most familiar uses of dipole derivatives is the calculation of infrared intensities. To relate the intensity of a transition between states with vibrational wavefunctions i/r and jfyi it is necessary to evaluate the transition dipole moment... 

However, in more recent years it has become usual to employ ar or crR-type constants, either together in the dual substituent-parameter equation or individually in special linear regression equations which hold for particular infrared magnitudes. In this connection a long series of papers by Katritzky, Topsom and their colleagues on Infrared intensities as a quantitative measure of intramolecular interactions is of particular importance. We will sample this series of papers, insofar as they help to elucidate the electronic effects of sulfinyl and sulfonyl groups.

Richardson and Sacher preferred to determine only the 1,2 and the trans-1,4 units from the infrared intensities and to obtain the cis-1,4 by difference. 

Once the equation was well founded it became a tool for establishing a scale of resonance parameters based uniformly on infrared intensities, and particularly for measuring values of substituents which had not been obtained in other ways. It should, of course, be noted that the above equation could not give the sign of for any given substituent, since...

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.

The second derivatives can be calculated numerically from the gradients of the energy or analytically, depending upon the methods being used and the availability of analytical formulae for the second derivative matrix elements. The energy may be calculated using quantum mechanics or molecular mechanics. Infrared intensities, Ik, can be determined for each normal mode from the square of the derivative of the dipole moment, fi, with respect to that normal mode.
