Vibrational correlation diagram

When the proton affinities of A and B are precisely equal, NPAD would be zero. This is not where the minimum in the vibrational correlation diagram was found. This displacement from zero is related to an earlier explanation that the ion pair A —+HB has a much stronger attractive interaction between the partners than does the neutral pair AH—B. So the proton affinity of A must be that much larger than that of B in order to compensate for this fact. Consequently, the minimum in the diagram was found to occur at NPAD = -0.23. Note the similarity of this value to that obtained from crude minimal basis set estimates of the complexes pairing HBr with amines above in Fig. 6.20.

The local-to-normal transition is governed by the same parameter of Eq. (4.30). The difference is that now the local-to-normal transition occurs simultaneously for the stretching and bending vibrations. The correlation diagram for stretching vibrations is the same as in Figure 4.3. The local-to-normal transition can also be studied for XYZ molecules, for which the Hamiltonian does not have the condition A) = A2 and is...

Fig. 2.7-8 shows the correlation diagram of the motional degrees of freedom of a free molecule, a molecule at its lattice site, and a unit cell. The vibrations of the species a and hi as well as of 02 and / 2 combine to give the symmetry species a and a" of the molecule at its crystal site. Since there are four molecules in the unit cell, all vibrational degrees of freedom split into four components. This is called factor group... 

It might also be pointed out that correlation diagrams of this t5q>e have relevance in solution work as well, even though the vibrational bands are much broader. The maximal shift in the spectral band for complexes of pyridines with carboxylic acids occurs for a proton affinity difference of 109 kcal/mol pairing of pyridine N-oxides with these acids peaks at 102 kcal/moF . When plotted as relative frequency change versus NPAD, the functions have minima at values of the latter parameter somewhat less negative than the —0.23 noted above. 

The correlation diagram (Figure 24) shows how the molecular orbitals of cyclopropene relate to those of cyclopropane. The uppermost of the occupied orbitals of cyclopropene (2bi) is predominantly of C=C % bond character (Figure 25) and has no counterpart in cyclopropane the corresponding band (Figure 26) has a short vibrational progression of... 

From the genenil form of the correlation diagram in Figure 6.18 it is evident that since barriers cun be overcome with the aid of thermal energy the initial excitation need not be into that stale that is represented by the characteristic configuration. In this case low temperature can prevent the reaction from taking place. Excitation of higher vibrational levels of one-and-the-same absorption band can enable the nuclei to move over the barrier in a hot reaction.
