Vibrational spectroscopy has played a role in supporting the pentagonal bipyramidal structure of the ion IO2F5 2-. Raman spectroscopy of the tetramethylammonium salt of this ion shows a single absorption in the region expected for I=O stretching vibrations, at 789 cm-1 . Is a single Raman band consistent with the proposed trans orientation of the oxygen atoms?
Deduce the symmetry of the vibrational modes of the molecule XeCl4. It would be possible identify the geometry of this compound (planar square or tetrahedral) using the vibrational spectroscopy technique? Explain using the concept of group theory.
Estimate the magnitude of the transition dipole moment of a charge-transfer transition modelled as the migration of an electron from a H1s orbital on one atom to another H1s orbital on an atom a distance R away. Approximate the transition moment by −eRS where S is the overlap integral of the two orbitals. Sketch the transition moment as a function of R using the expression for S given in Table 9C.1. Why does the intensity of a charge-transfer transition fall to zero as R approaches 0 and infinity?
