Spectroscopic nomenclature

Authors note This initial chapter dealing with matrix algebra and regression has been adapted for spectroscopic nomenclature from Shayle R. Searle s book, Matrix Algebra Useful for Statistics (John Wiley Sons, New York, 1982), pp. 363-368. Other particularly useful reference sources with page numbers are listed below as [1-3]. 

Nomenclature. The spectroscopic nomenclature is directly equivalent to that used for spectroscopy X-ray, and is related to the various quantum numbers such as the principal quantum number n, the electronic quantum number 1, the total angular momentum quantum number j, and the spin quantum number s, which can take... 

For molecules, the spectroscopic nomenclature for molecular energy levels and their vibronic and rotational sublevels is messy and very specialized. Already for homonuclear or heteronuclear diatomic molecules a new quantum number shows up, which quantifies the angular momentum along the internuclear axis, but the reader need not be burdened with the associated nomenclature. 

The photopcaks are generally identified by referring to the quantum levels involved (Is, 2s, 2p3/2, etc.) whilst for the Auger electrons the spectroscopic nomenclature is used (K, L, M. etc.) to identify the levels involved. 

The symbols and terminology for physicochemical quantities and units are those recommended by lUPAC through its Physical Chemistry Division. For the thermodynamic notation needed but not specified by these two sources, the recommendations of the Bulletin of Chemical Thermodynamics are used. Similarly, for spectroscopic nomenclature, the common practice of Moore and Herz-berg " is followed. 

For a detailed discussion of spectroscopic nomenclature and the vector model of the atom see Pauling and Goudsmit The Structure of Line Spectra. The triplet levels of helium were long called doublets, complete resolution being difficult. Their triplet character was first suggested by J. C. Slater, Proc. Nat. Acad. Set. 11, 732 (1925), and was soon verified experimentally by W. V. Houston, Phys. Rev. 29, 749 (1927). The names parhelium and orthohelium were ascribed to the singlet and triplet levels, respectively, before their nature was understood. 

These are termed and V3 so as to reserve V2 for the bending frequency in conformity with the usual spectroscopic nomenclature. 

Physically, why does a temi like the Darling-Dennison couplmg arise We have said that the spectroscopic Hamiltonian is an abstract representation of the more concrete, physical Hamiltonian fomied by letting the nuclei in the molecule move with specified initial conditions of displacement and momentum on the PES, with a given total kinetic plus potential energy. This is the sense in which the spectroscopic Hamiltonian is an effective Hamiltonian, in the nomenclature used above. The concrete Hamiltonian that it mimics is expressed in temis of particle momenta and displacements, in the representation given by the nomial coordinates. Then, in general, it may contain temis proportional to all the powers of the products of the... 

At this point the nomenclature used in XPS and AES should be explained. In XPS the spectroscopic notation is used, and in AES the X-ray notation. The two are equivalent, the different usage having arisen for historical reasons, but the differentiation is a convenient one. They are both based on the so-called j-j coupling scheme describing the orbital motion of an electron around an atomic nucleus, in which the... 

We begin by bringing you up to speed on mechanisms and reminding you how to push electrons around with those curved arrows. We jog your memory with a discussion of substitution and elimination reactions and their mechanisms, in addition to free radical reactions. Next you review the structure, nomenclature, synthesis, and reactions of alcohols and ethers, and then you get to tackle conjugated unsaturated systems. Finally, we remind you of spectroscopic techniques, from the IR fingerprints to NMR shifts. The review in this part moves at a pretty fast pace, but we re sure you can keep up.
