Water bending mode

SI, Ge, Sn and Pb metal atoms initially reacted with water on cocondensation to form the metal atom-water molecule adduct as has been generally observed for metal atom-water reactions ( ). The shift in the water bending mode frequency on adduct formation decreases with increasing atomic number as illustrated in Table I. Using the results obtained from theoretical studies ( 3, 5), it is believed that the water bending mode shift might serve as a relative measure of the extent of interaction between the water molecule and the metal atom, for metals within a particular group.

Additional information can be obtained from the infrared emission spectra (lES) with increasing temperature (Figure 13). The spectra at low temperature do not clearly show the presence of water because die water bending mode normally observed at 1645 cm is obscured by the t>antisynnn(C=0) around 1620 cm". This makes it impossible to follow the dehydration step. The oxalate is further characterised by a broad band around 1640 cm plus a sharper band around 1325 cm , which can be ascribed to t>symm(C=0) mode. The relatively sharp band at 788 cm can be ascribed to 8(0-C-0) [42],...

The HO radicals, generated from the decomposition of H202, perhaps cause the hydroperoxo/peroxo to superoxo conversion. The superoxo species (with the 0-0 stretching absorption near 1120-1150 cm- ) could not be seen in the FTIR spectmm (63), perhaps because of the dominant stretching and bending modes of water in the same region. 

HREELS of the H 0 + HF system. The nature of the interaction stabi-iizing HF on thS surface is made clear by the HREELS spectra of Figure 6. As the concentration of HF in the water layer is increased a new peak around 1150 on (and several smaller peaks) first increases and then, as the HF/H-0 ratio exceeds 1, decreases in intensity. By analogy to vibrationaf spectra of acid hydrates of known structure (13-16), this peak is identified as the symmetric bending mode of the pyramidal H 0 ion. We have observed the same peak upon coadsorption of water ana other, stronger, mineral acids. The reaction... 

The two stretching modes are called V and v3 here in order to conform with standard notation (Herzberg, 1950 v2 is the bending mode). Several other cases have been analyzed. Typical root-mean-square deviations for the lowest-order Hamiltonian of Eq. (4.28) are < 5 cm-1 up to the sixth overtone. For example, the calculation of water of Table 4.1 has a root-mean-square deviation of 4.0 cm. In addition to providing a calculation of stretching overtones, one is also able to determine, in a simple way, the nature of the spectrum. If one compares, for example, water, H20, with sulfur dioxide, S02, one observes the situation of Table 4.2. Thus S02 is much closer to the normal limit than H20. We shall... 

The spectra of interfacial water molecules are characterized by the presence of the 0-H stretch and bond vibrational modes, the 0-H bend mode and the Fermi resonance mode, superimposed on the continuum background scattering. 

Figure 3 Inelastic and elastic cross sections for electron impact excitation of the water molecule the data are from the review by Mark et al. [19]. The total interaction cross section ctt was determined from the sum of cross sections for all elastic and inelastic processes. Inelastic channels include the vibrational modes Cvi (the bending mode with threshold 0.198 eV), cTv2 (the sum of two stretching modes with thresholds 0.453 and 0.466 eV), and CvS (a lump sum of other vibrational excitation modes including higher hormonics and combinational modes with an assigned threshold of 1 eV). The electronic excitations and <7 2 have threshold energies of 7.5 and 13.3 eV. Ionization cross sections are those of Djuric et al. (O), and Bolarizadah and Rudd ( ). (From Ref 19.)...
