Vibronic vibronically induced transition

We finally comment on the vibrational selection rules for vibronically induced transitions. The intensity of a vibrational band which occurs through vibronic coupling in normal coordinate is proportional to both the Herzberg-Teller and Born-Oppenheimer theories. When mode k is nontotally symmetric, the symmetry selection rule in that mode will be Av = 1, 3,. .. if the equilibrium position is undisplaced along in the electronic transition. If mode k is also harmonic, with similar frequencies in both electronic states, the more restrictive selection rule Av— applies. In such a case, the band intensity becomes proportional to [1 , times a... 

We shall begin our discussion with the derivation of line shape functions for optically allowed and vibronically induced transitions. This will permit us to demonstrate the influence of the Duschinsky rotation on optical spectra. As an example, we shall describe the spectrum of the p-terphenyl crystal from the same point of view and of the [Co(CN)2(tn)2]Cl3H20 complex in its crystal structure. These examples offer little more than a glimpse into the difficult, subtle, fascinating questions encountered in almost any attempt to interpret optical transitions. The discussion is extended in Section 7.2 to the analysis of phosphorescence spectra and the description of radiationless transition of aromatic molecules. Particular emphasis is placed on the mechanism of singlet-triplet relaxation in these molecules with nonbonding electrons. 

Similarly, for the vibronically induced transition with (t) as generating function,... 

X being a 4/ wave function. From this expression, one estimates that the oscillator strengths should be about the same as for an ion situated in a noncentrosymmetric field (P 10 6). A rigorous formal treatment for the vibronically induced electric-dipole transitions has been developed by Satten (32-34),... 

A pumping laser excites the system from the ground vibronic manifold g to the excited vibronic manifold n. After excitation, a probing laser is applied to induce transitions from the manifold to the manifold g via stimulated emission and/or to higher excited manifolds via induced absorption. This work shall focus on the pump-probe time-resolved stimulated emission experiment. In this case, an expression for the time-resolved profiles is derived in terms of the imaginary part of the transient susceptibility X (copu,copr, x). In the adiabatic approximation and the Condon approximation, it has been shown that [18,21]... 

It is found experimentally that the intensity of both the magnetic dipole and vibronically induced electric dipole allowed transitions are principally determined by the orbital character of the electronic states. That is, transitions that are forbidden in the orbital basis but allowed in the spin-orbit basis in Table 1, are likely to be weak. 

We hope that this review has shown that ever more elaborate experimental and computational techniques continue to be applied to elucidate the structure, assign spectra, and rationalize photochemical reaction mechanisms in transition metal carbonyl complexes. These systems provide a wealth of fascinating vibronically induced chemistry that we are only beginning to understand, and it is expected that as experimental and computational techniques further evolve many more studies of these systems will take place. Transition metal carbonyl systems are of primary importance in organometallic chemistry and unsaturated complexes are of key importance in industrial synthesis. Their photochemistry has many aspects that require a true multi-disciplinary approach, requiring knowledge and expertise in the fields of transition metal chemistry, ultrafast spectroscopy, computational spectroscopy, computational photochemistry and conical intersection theory, Jahn-Teller... 

The above discussion represents a satisfactory qualitative description of the effects of vibrational relaxation upon radiative decay rates. When s is a excited vibronic state, it can contribute directly to the vibrational relaxation. It may also be necessary in some cases to consider direct collision induced crossings. The collision induced transitions between the various components of s itself are, of course, of great interst. 

In what follows, we shall first examine the influence of Tig (t2g + eg) coupling on the CD spectrum of the Co(III) Alg->-Tlg transition (neglecting all other vibronic interactions). Secondly, we shall examine the influence of the t2g(Qs) and eg(Q2) vibrational modes on the Ajg->-T2g CD spectrum via vibronically induced Tig-T2g mixings. Finally, we shall consider Tig-Tju and T2g-Tlu mixings under the influence of vibronic interactions with the tju(Q3 and Qi ) and t2u(Q6) vibrational modes.
