PC Laboratory – Raman Spectroscopy
Schedule:Week of September 5-9: Student presentationsWeek of September 19-23:Student experiments
Learning goals: (1) Hands-on experience with setting up a spectrometer.(2) Individual measurement and analysis of spectroscopic data.(3) Training of presentation, scientific data analysis, and report writing.
Spectroscopic measurements
X‐Ray crystal diffraction (Röntgen, Laue, Bragg, Watson‐Crick, …)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy(Bloch, Purcell, Ernst, Wüthrich)
Ultrafast Spectroscopy(Eigen, Zewail)
Most of what we know about molecules is derived from spectroscopic or spectrometric measurements!
Spectroscopy: looking at matter
Light can be dispersed, e.g. with a prism.
When molecules absorb or emit some light frequencies, the dispersed Spectrum shows corresponding bands.

The energy scale of molecular transitions
Photons with an energy exceeding 7‐10 eV ionize matter and can be used for ionizing spectroscopy. Photons with much larger energy (and wavelength down to be picometer range) are used for diffraction experiments.

Infrared spectroscopy investigates the vibrational structure of molecules by observing the interaction with electromagnetic radiation (light) in the near infrared wavelength region (typically 180‐800 nm).

Absorption Spectroscopy
Molecules and atoms have quantized energetic states. Only photons with an energy that corresponds to the energy difference between two molecular states can be absorbed or emitted.
sample
In absorption spectroscopy, photons of an incoming light beam are absorbed.

Charged particles and dipoles feel a periodic force in the electric field of light and their vibrational motion can be exited. Only molecular bonds with dipoles can be excited, they are IR‐active vibrational modes.
The interaction with molecular dipoles is exploited in vibrational spectroscopy to identify the characteristic frequencies of molecular vibrations.Scheme of a simple IR spectrometer:

ight The photon can gain or loose some energy
upon scattering. The energy difference between incoming and outgoing photon must be equal to the energy difference between two molecular states.
The electric field of light can induce a dipole moment even if the molecule has no intrinsic dipole moment. Interaction of the light field with the induced dipole moment excites the molecule in Raman spectroscopy.

The Raman interaction is weak and a very high light intensity is required to observe Raman effects.
