3. WHAT IS SPECTROSCOPY?
• Spectroscopy deals with the interaction of
electromagnetic radiation with matter
• Used to extract very useful information like
structural and other physico-chemical
properties of molecules.
• Spectroscopy is the most imperative and
promising tool for the structural investigation
of chemically relevant systems.

7. • Electromagnetic radiations are produced by the
oscillations of electric and magnetic dipoles
residing in the atom.
• The most important consequence of
electromagnetic interaction is that energy is
absorbed or emitted by the matter in discrete
amounts called quanta.
• Spectroscopic methods are generally used to
measurer the energy difference between various
molecular energy levels and to determine the
atomic and molecular structures.

8. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light and their
frequency and wavelength can be determined by the formulas:
where 'c' is the speed of light in meters per
second,
lambda λ is the wavelength in meters
frequency is in cycles per second.

9. Molecule contains :
• Translational energy
• Rotational energy
• • Vibratioal energy
• Electronic energy
• All except the Translational energy are quantized
• Energy(molecule )= E(rot )+ E(vib )+ E(elec )

10. THE INTERACTION OF RADIATION WITH MATTER DEPENDS UPON BOTH
RADIATION PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURAL PARTS OF THE MATERIALS
INVOLVED. THIS INTERACTION BETWEEN MATTER AND RADIATION LEADS TO
A VARIETY OF SPECTRA.

14. INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
Far-Infrared (400-33 cm-1): vibrations
of molecules containing heavy
atoms, molecular skeleton
vibrations and crystal lattice
vibrations
Mid-Infrared (4000-400 cm-1): useful
for organic analysis
Near Infrared (12820-4000 cm-
1): overtones; very useful for
quantitative analysis

15. REQUIREMENTS FOR VISIBILITY IN THE IR REGION
(selection rules)
• A change in dipole moment, whether it is induced
or permanent.
Heteronuclear Diatomicmlecules E.g HCl, HBr etc
N2, F2, etc. are inactive in the IR.
• Resonant frequencies that are in the infrared
frequency range of 100−4000 cm−1.
• After the absorption of radiation only transition for
which v=(+)(-) i.e, transition from=0 to V=1(change
in vibration quatum number between two vibrational
energy levels)
