Relative peak intensities

Another related issue is the computation of the intensities of the peaks in the spectrum. Peak intensities depend on the probability that a particular wavelength photon will be absorbed or Raman-scattered. These probabilities can be computed from the wave function by computing the transition dipole moments. This gives relative peak intensities since the calculation does not include the density of the substance. Some types of transitions turn out to have a zero probability due to the molecules symmetry or the spin of the electrons. This is where spectroscopic selection rules come from. Ah initio methods are the preferred way of computing intensities. Although intensities can be computed using semiempirical methods, they tend to give rather poor accuracy results for many chemical systems. 

Si 2p line, at about 100 eV BE, is also easily accessible at most synchrotron sources but cannot, of course, be observed using He I and He II radiation. On the other hand, the Zn 3d and Hg 4f lines can be observed quite readily by He I radiation (see Table 1) and the elements identified in this way. Quantitative analysis using relative peak intensities is performed exactly as in XPS, but the photoionization cross sections a are very different at UPS photon energies, compared to A1 Ka energies, and tabulated or calculated values are not so readily available. Quantitation, therefore, usually has to be done using local standards. 

Spectral changes on adsorption are of three types appearance of inactive fundamentals (often coincident with infrared absorptions—see Table IX), shifts in Raman line positions for active vibrations, changes in relative peak intensities, and changes in half-bandwidths. The first three types of change have been reported for centrosymmetric adsorbates. 

Changes in relative peak intensity and marginal line shifts have been observed for benzene adsorbed on porous glass (26). More significantly, infrared spectroscopic evidence had been found in the appearance of inactive fundamentals for the lowering of molecular symmetry of benzene on adsorption on zeolites (47).

The relative peak intensities of the T-shaped and linear He I Cl fluorescence excitation features at 17,831 and 17,842cm , respectively, are plotted as a function of reduced distance along the expansion.

FABMS has been used as a semiquantitative indication of the selectivity of receptors for particular guest metal cations (Johnstone and Rose, 1983). The FABMS competition experiment on [7] with equimolar amounts of the nitrates of sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium gave gas-phase complex ions of ([7] + K)+ ion (m/z 809) and a minor peak ([7] + Rb)+ ion (m/z 855) exclusively. The relative peak intensities therefore suggested a selectivity order of K+ Rb+ Na+, Cs+, indicative of the bis-crown effect, the ability of bis-crown ether ligands to complex a metal cation of size larger than the cavity of a single crown ether unit, forming a sandwich structure. 

Enantioselective reagents for ammonium ions include, for example, a mixture containing a host chiral crown ether such as 196, possessing four (R) centers and symbolized as M, a host achiral crown ether of similar functionality, symbolized as R, and a salt of a guest chiral amine, symbolized as A, which is analyzed by fast atom bombardment MS (FAB-MS), and the relative peak intensity of the equilibrium complexes 7(MA)//(RA) is measured and correlated with the chirality of the guest molecule. Many host and guest molecules have been investigated405.

If no thermodynamic isotope effect is operative, the relative stability of the diastereomeric [U-Mj ]" " and [U-Ms]" " complexes can be represented approximately by their relative peak intensity, i.e., the IRIS value (IRIS = [U-Ms] /[U-Mx]+). Usually, isotope effects on non-covalent binding are small. However, both stereochemical and isotope effects can easily be separated by performing a control experiments using the other enantiomer of the host under the same conditions.
