	Physicists identify molecules by vibrational signatures
		Vibrational spectroscopy is the study of the energy (which for scientists identifies the frequency) of the vibration of molecular bonds.
		The vibration is unique for each possible arrangement of atoms in a molecule, and in the language of quantum mechanics, each vibration has a characteristic "energy level." An electron whose energy matches or exceeds that of a vibrational energy level in a molecule can pass through the molecule more easily.
		For years the only useful way to do this type of vibrational spectroscopy was to pass a current through a thin film of a substance and vary the voltage and, therefore, the energy of the electrons in the current.

	Raman Spectroscopy Tutorial
		Vibrational Raman spectroscopy in this broad sense is an extraordinarily versatile probe into a wide range of phenomena ranging across disciplines from physical biochemistry to materials science.
		The scattered intensity from non-totally symmetric vibrations is 3/4 as strong in the plane perpendicular to the plane of polarization of the incident light as in the plane parallel to it.
		Resonance Raman spectroscopy is also a major probe of the chemistry of fullerenes, polydiacetylenes and other "exotic" molecules which strongly absorb in the visible.

		The vibrational modes of a molecule can best be modeled by assuming that the compound is composed of atoms (balls) joined by chemical bonds composed of springs (rather than the traditional sticks).
		Vibrational modes for the molecule are a function of the orientation of its atoms and bonds, the atomic mass of the atoms, bond order and hydrogen bonding, among other factors.
		Some of the energy from the incident photon is used by the molecule to excite it to higher level vibrational and rotational states, the rest is emitted as a photon of reduced energy.

	Experiment 9. Rotational-Vibrational Spectroscopy. Introduction
		The last term accounts for the interaction between the vibration and rotation of the molecule; as the molecule vibrates, the moment of inertia changes and the rotation of the molecule is affected.
		Since the reduced mass affects the vibrational and rotational behavior or a molecule, the energy of its transitions are affected.
		Group theory shows that each vibrational coordinate and each vibrational energy level, along with its associated wavefunction, must have a symmetry corresponding to one of the symmetry species of the molecular point group.

	5.4 Vibrational Spectroscopy
		Vibrational spectroscopy provides the most definitive means of identifying the surface species generated upon molecular adsorption and the species generated by surface reactions.
		This states that only those vibrational modes which give rise to an oscillating dipole perpendicular (normal) to the surface are IR active and give rise to an observable absorption band.
		The selection rules that determine whether a vibrational band may be observed depend upon the nature of the substrate and also the experimental geometry: specifically the angles of the incident and (analysed) scattered beams with respect to the surface.

	Infrared Spectroscopy
		Vibrational modes are often given descriptive names, such as stretching, bending, scissoring, rocking and twisting.
		The exact frequency at which a given vibration occurs is determined by the strengths of the bonds involved and the mass of the component atoms.
		The number of observed absorptions may be increased by additive and subtractive interactions leading to combination tones and overtones of the fundamental vibrations, in much the same way that sound vibrations from a musical instrument interact.

	Dynamics: Infrared Spectroscopy
		Vibrational spectroscopy (or infrared spectroscopy) measures transitions from one molecular vibrational energy level to another, and requires radiation from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
		The energy of a vibration is measured by its amplitude (the distance moved by the atoms during the vibration), so the higher the vibrational energy, the larger the amplitude of the motion.
		The frequency of light required to cause a transition for a particular vibration is equal to the frequency of the vibration, so we may measure the vibrational frequencies by measuring the frequencies of light absorbed by the molecule.

		Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study hydrogen bonded systems because the frequency of the intramolecular OH stretching vibration is particularly sensitive to a molecule's hydrogen bonding environment.

	Raman Spectroscopy
		Raman Spectroscopy is based on the Raman effect, which is the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules.
		The energy increase or decrease from the excitation is related to the vibrational energy spacing in the ground electronic state of the molecule and therefore the wavenumber of the Stokes and anti-Stokes lines are a direct measure of the vibrational energies of the molecule.
		For highly symmetric polyatomic molecules possessing a center of inversion (such as benzene) it is observed that bands that are active in the IR spectrum are not active in the Raman spectrum (and vice-versa).

	Infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Infrared spectroscopy (IR Spectroscopy) is the subset of spectroscopy that deals with the Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
		The resonant frequencies or vibrational frequencies are determined by the shape of the molecular potential energy surfaces, the masses of the atoms and, eventually by the associated vibronic coupling.
		Infrared spectroscopy is widely used in both research and industry as a simple and reliable technique for measurement, quality control, and dynamic measurement.

		This vibrational mode IS IR active and would be observed on a spectrum.
