Spectral patterns

Dennison coupling produces a pattern in the spectrum that is very distinctly different from the pattern of a pure nonnal modes Hamiltonian , without coupling, such as (Al.2,7 ). Then, when we look at the classical Hamiltonian corresponding to the Darling-Deimison quantum fitting Hamiltonian, we will subject it to the mathematical tool of bifiircation analysis [M]- From this, we will infer a dramatic birth in bifiircations of new natural motions of the molecule, i.e. local modes. This will be directly coimected with the distinctive quantum spectral pattern of the polyads. Some aspects of the pattern can be accounted for by the classical bifiircation analysis while others give evidence of intrinsically non-classical effects in the quantum dynamics. 

Flowever, we have also seen that some of the properties of quantum spectra are mtrinsically non-classical, apart from the discreteness of qiiantnm states and energy levels implied by the very existence of quanta. An example is the splitting of the local mode doublets, which was ascribed to dynamical tiumelling, i.e. processes which classically are forbidden. We can ask if non-classical effects are ubiquitous in spectra and, if so, are there manifestations accessible to observation other than those we have encountered so far If there are such manifestations, it seems likely that they will constitute subtle peculiarities m spectral patterns, whose discennnent and interpretation will be an important challenge.

Extensive mass spectral and electron impact studies have been reported for 3-hydroxy-1,2-benzisoxazole and its ethers. Similar work was also carried out with the isomeric A-alkyl-l,2-benzisoxazol-3-one (71DIS(B)4483). 1,2-Benzisoxazole A-oxide showed a mass spectral pattern than more closely resembled furoxans. The loss of NO predominated over the loss of O (Aft intense, [M— weak, [Af-30]" strong). 

For large molecules, at least, Raman spectra contain numerous bands which cannot always completely he assigned to particular vibrational modes. The large number of bands can, however, when measured with appropriate spectral resolution, enable unambiguous identification of substances by comparing the spectral pattern ("fingerprint") with those of reference spectra, if they are available.

Ultraviolet spectra of heteropyrans have been used mainly for characterization purposes. No theoretical calculations of the spectral patterns have yet been done. Typical UV absorption characteristics of some thiopyrans and teluropyrans are collected in Table IX. Analogous insight into the UV absorption of selenopyrans is still lacking. 

In Fig. 11 spectra of resorcinol resins 36) are given. In comparison with prepolymers, it shows that the completely hardned resin is more susceptible than that of uncured resin to the conditions of prepolymer synthesis. Because of only moderate resolution in the aromatic region the spectral pattern is fairly similar for the two resins. 

Mass spectrometers, workhorse instmments described in Chapter 2, require a vacuum to function. A mass spectrometer generates a beam of ions that is sorted according to specifications of the particular instrument. Usually, the sorting depends on differences in speed, trajectory, and mass. For instance, one type of mass spectrometer measures how long it takes ions to travel from one end of a tube to another. Residual gas must be removed from the tube to eliminate collisions between gas molecules and the ions that are being analyzed. As the diagram shows, collisions with unwanted gas molecules deflect the ions from their paths and change the expected mass spectral pattern. 

Also bound to the UV-Vis spectral area is fluorescence spectrometry. It is most important with respect to those fluorescent food colorants that have been incorporated into food. In detail it helps to (1) identify a colorant by the spectral pattern of fluorescence excitation and emission spectra, (2) quantify its concentration by the fluorescence emission intensity, (3) qualify the enviromnent into which the colorant molecule is embedded, and (4) perform structural research on the food matter into which the colorant is incorporated. 

To identify a colorant, its excitation and emission spectra must be measured. This can be done under standard conditions if the colorant has been extracted from a foodstuff. Usually the spectral patterns taken from real conditions will not deviate too much from standard conditions. One must be aware that the main spectral patterns are determined by the chromophore of the colorant and that further molecular identification needs to recognize special fine structures of the spectra or employ additional analytical tools.

The left-hand side shows measurements in the transition region performed with decreasing temperature and the right-hand side with increasing temperature. (The spectral patterns at comparable temperatures do not match due to hysteresis in the spin-transition behavior). The points give the measured data and the curves are results from calculations performed with CONUSS [9, 10]. The dashed line drawn in the 133 K spectmm represents dynamical beating.

To reduce intensity effects, the data were normalized by reducing the area under each spectrum to a value of 1 [42]. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to the normalized data. This method is well suited to optimize the description of the fluorescence data sets by extracting the most useful data and rejecting the redundant ones [43]. From a data set, PCA assesses principal components and their corresponding spectral pattern. The principal components are used to draw maps that describe the physical and chemical variations observed between the samples. Software for PCA has been written by D. Bertrand (INRA Nantes) and is described elsewhere [44].
