Figure 9 shows the effect of deprotonation of adsorbed formic acid which occurs on warming the surface to above 270 K. Spectrum (a) can be assigned by comparison with the photoelectron spectrum of the free molecule. The formate species also gives rise to four spectral bands and, since the number of expected orbitals is the same, it is tempting to assume a one-to-one correspondence, allowing of course for the change in symmetry from Cs to C2v- The application of selection rules proves, however, that such an... 

For some direct-gap materials, the quantum electronic selection rules lead to = 0. However, this is only strictly true at / = 0. For 0, it can be assumed, in a first order approximation, that the matrix element involving the top valence and the bottom conduction states is proportional to k that is, Pif k. Within the simplified model of parabolic bands (see Appendix Al), it is obtained that Tuo = Tuog + flp., and therefore Pif k co — cog). Thns, according to Equations (4.31) and (4.32), the absorption coefficient for these transitions (called forbidden direct transitions) has the following spectral dependence ... 

Due to limitations in signal-to-noise ratio available for the then common dispersive IR instruments, peptide and protein vibrational spectroscopic studies shifted to emphasize Raman measurements in the 1970s 29-32 Qualitatively the same sorts of empirical correlations as discussed above have been found between frequencies of amide bands in the Raman and secondary structure. However, due to the complementary selection rules for Raman as compared to IR and to the multi-component nature of these polymeric spectral bands, the... 

In describing an electronic transition usually one specifies the energy, which describes the spectral region in which the band lies, and the intensity, which is a measure of the transition probability. The former is treated in terms of the Franck-Condon principle while the absolute intensity depends on transition moments which involve certain selection rules derived from quantum mechanics. 

The direct comparison of adsorbate modes with the modes for the free ions in solution, without considering symmetry changes in the adsorbed state, is not the correct procedure for band assignment. One must use the elements of group theory with the aid of the surface selection rule in order to make a proper spectral analysis.
