The nature of acid sites was at the center of several studies. Barthomeuf discussed spectroscopic methods applied to study hydroxyl groups, Bronsted and Lewis acidities and basicities, and the effects of extraframework oxides on acidity or basicity. These are IR, which is the most important here, NMR, XPS, UV- and visible, Raman and Mdssbauer spectroscopies. Far infrared technique may reveal cation locations. The shift of the band associated with the NH of pyrrole depends on the charge of 0, which in turn determines the basicity. Some progress has been made in the last few years in the identification of different OH groups. An interesting observation was that sU adsorbed benzene molecules are disturbed by the 0-s, even at high benzene coverages.

It is characteristic of the technology of microwave spectroscopy that frequencies are measurable to very high precision. Until the introduction of infrared lasers, microwave spectroscopy far outran vibrational spectroscopy in the precision and accuracy of spectral measurements. The primary piece of information obtained from a microwave spectrum is the rotational constant, and given the precision available with this type of experiment, high-precision values of the rotational constant are obtained. This, in turn, implies that very precise values of the bond length of a diatomic molecule can be deduced from a microwave spectrum. In practice, measurement precision corresponding to a few parts in 10,000 is achieved.

Wliat does one actually observe in the experunental spectrum, when the levels are characterized by the set of quantum numbers n. Mj ) for the nonnal modes The most obvious spectral observation is simply the set of energies of the levels another important observable quantity is the intensities. The latter depend very sensitively on the type of probe of the molecule used to obtain the spectmm for example, the intensities in absorption spectroscopy are in general far different from those in Raman spectroscopy. From now on we will focus on the energy levels of the spectmm, although the intensities most certainly carry much additional infonnation about the molecule, and are extremely interesting from the point of view of theoretical dynamics. 

There is an aspect of nonlinear spectroscopy which we have so far neglected, namely the spatial dependence of the signal. In general, tln-ee incident beams, described by /c-vectors k, k2 and will produce an outgoing beam at each of the directions ... 

Vibrational spectroscopy is an enomiously large subject area spamiing many scientific disciplines. The methodology, both experimental and theoretical, was developed primarily by physical chemists and has branched far and wide over the last 50 years. This chapter will mainly focus on its importance with regard to physical chemistry. 

Time-resolved spectroscopy has become an important field from x-rays to the far-IR. Both IR and Raman spectroscopies have been adapted to time-resolved studies. There have been a large number of studies using time-resolved Raman [39], time-resolved resonance Raman [7] and higher order two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy (which can provide coupling infonuation analogous to two-dimensional NMR studies) [40]. Time-resolved IR has probed neutrals and ions in solution [41, 42], gas phase kmetics [42] and vibrational dynamics of molecules chemisorbed and physisorbed to surfaces [44]- Since vibrational frequencies are very sensitive to the chemical enviromnent, pump-probe studies with IR probe pulses allow stmctiiral changes to... 

The study of small energy gaps in matter using the optical spectral region (say the near-IR, visible and UV) offers many advantages over direct one-photon spectroscopies in the IR, far IR or even the microwave. First,... 

All nonlinear (electric field) spectroscopies are to be found in all temis of equation (B 1.3.1) except for the first. The latter exclusively accounts for the standard linear spectroscopies—one-photon absorption and emission (Class I) and linear dispersion (Class II). For example, the temi at third order contains by far the majority of the modem Raman spectroscopies (table B 1.3.1 and tableBl.3.2).

So far we have exclusively discussed time-resolved absorption spectroscopy with visible femtosecond pulses. It has become recently feasible to perfomi time-resolved spectroscopy with femtosecond IR pulses. Flochstrasser and co-workers [M, 150. 151. 152. 153. 154. 155. 156 and 157] have worked out methods to employ IR pulses to monitor chemical reactions following electronic excitation by visible pump pulses these methods were applied in work on the light-initiated charge-transfer reactions that occur in the photosynthetic reaction centre [156. 157] and on the excited-state isomerization of tlie retinal pigment in bacteriorhodopsin [155]. Walker and co-workers [158] have recently used femtosecond IR spectroscopy to study vibrational dynamics associated with intramolecular charge transfer these studies are complementary to those perfomied by Barbara and co-workers [159. 160], in which ground-state RISRS wavepackets were monitored using a dynamic-absorption technique with visible pulses. 

Far-infrared and mid-infrared spectroscopy usually provide the most detailed picture of the vibration-rotation energy levels in the ground electronic state. However, they are not always possible and other spectroscopic methods are also important.

These methods are now obsolete in comparison with spectroscopic methods. Werbel has shown that the structures of these isomers are easily determined by NMR (125) (see also Table VI-5). Furthermore. 2-imino-4-thiazoline derivatives are characterized by their stretching C=N vibration at 1580 cm , absent in their 2-aminothiazole isomers, and by the stretching NH vibration that appears in the range of 3250 to 3310 cm for the former and between 3250 to 3340 cm" for the latter (131). Ultraviolet spectroscopy also differentiates these isomers (200). They can be separated by boiling in ethanol the thiazoline isomer is usually far less soluble in this solvent (131),... 

Transient species, existing for periods of time of the order of a microsecond (lO s) or a nanosecond (10 s), may be produced by photolysis using far-ultraviolet radiation. Electronic spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive methods for detecting such species, whether they are produced in the solid, liquid or gas phase, but a special technique, that of flash photolysis devised by Norrish and Porter in 1949, is necessary. 

The theory of molecular symmetry provides a satisfying and unifying thread which extends throughout spectroscopy and valence theory. Although it is possible to understand atoms and diatomic molecules without this theory, when it comes to understanding, say, spectroscopic selection rules in polyatomic molecules, molecular symmetry presents a small barrier which must be surmounted. However, for those not needing to progress so far this chapter may be bypassed without too much hindrance. 

The use of vibrational Raman spectroscopy in qualitative analysis has increased greatly since the introduction of lasers, which have replaced mercury arcs as monochromatic sources. Although a laser Raman spectrometer is more expensive than a typical infrared spectrometer used for qualitative analysis, it does have the advantage that low- and high-wavenumber vibrations can be observed with equal ease whereas in the infrared a different, far-infrared, spectrometer may be required for observations below about 400 cm. ...
