Laporte-allowed transitions: g u or u g Laporte-forbidden transitions: g g or u u g stands for gerade – compound with a center of symmetry u stands for ungerade – compound without a center of symmetry Selection rules can be relaxed due to: vibronic coupling (interaction between electron and vibrational modes) spin-orbit coupling geometry relaxation during transition • Symmetry-forbidden transitions – Transitions between states of the same parity are forbidden – Particularly important for centro-symmetric molecules (ethene) – Relaxed by coupling of electronic transitions to vibrational transitions (vibronic coupling) A طیفی ترم selection rules DVANCED e electronic transition Laporte allowed (charge transfer) 10000 I NORGANIC (1000—50000) Laporte forbidden (d-d transition) spin allowed; noncentrosymmetiric 100—200 C (200—250) HEMISTRY spin allowed; centrosymmetric 5—100 (20—100) spin forbidden 0.01—1 (< 1) Ferdowsi University of Mashhad 15 The Selection rules for electronic transitions Charge-transfer band – Laporte and spin allowed – very intense 3 1 A2g → Eg Laporte and spin forbidden – very weak a, b, and c, Laporte 2+ a [Ni(H2O)6] forbidden, spin allowed, inter- mediate intensity 3 3 A2g → T2g b c ADVANCED INORGANIC CHEMISTRY A طیفی ترم طیفی DVANCED I NORGANIC C HEMISTRY 2- [CoCl4] 2+ [Co(H2O)6] 2+ [Mn(H2O)6] Ferdowsi University of Mashhad 18 d-d transition crystal field splitting A DVANCED I NORGANIC C HEMISTRY Do size and charge of the metal ion and ligands 4d metal ~50% larger than 3d metal 5d metal ~25% larger than 4d metal 5d > 4d > 3d 19 d-d transition crystal field splitting A DVANCED I NORGANIC C HEMISTRY crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) spin-pairing energy 4 7 high-spin/low spin configuration d ~ d 4 d 20 A طیفی ترم طیفی Tetrahedral DVANCED I NORGANIC Dt = 4/9 Do tetrahedron octahedron elongated square C octahedron planar HEMISTRY Ferdowsi University of Mashhad 21 ADVANCED INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 22 ترم طیفی Ferdowsi University of Mashhad of University Ferdowsi ADVANCED INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 23 ترم طیفی Ferdowsi University of Mashhad of University Ferdowsi A DVANCED Crystal Field Theory An energy diagram of the orbitals shows all five d orbitals I are higher in energy in the forming complex than in the free NORGANIC metal ion, because of the repulsions from the approaching ligands Crystal Field Splitting Energy C HEMISTRY Forming Complex Ligand field theory combines an electrostatic model of metal-ligand interactions (crystal field theory) and a covalent model (molecular orbital theory). 24 OH TD Octahedral 3d Complexes Δo ≈ P (pairing energy) Both low-spin (Δo ≤ P) and high-spin (P ≥ Δo ) complexes are found Tetrahedral Complexes ΔTd = 4/9 Δo hence P >> ΔTd and tetrahedral complexes are always high spin ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF HIGH-SPIN AND LOW-SPIN OH COMPLEXES NOTE: SOME FACTORS INFLUENCING THE MAGNITUDE OF Δ-SPLITTING Oxidation State 3+ 2+ Δo (M ) > Δo(M ) e.g. Δo for Fe(III) > Fe(II).

    Lecture 17 Highlights

    Lecture 23 Highlights The phenomenon of Rabi oscillations is very different from our everyday experience of how macroscopic objects (i.e. those made up of many atoms) absorb electromagnetic radiation. When illuminated with light (like French fries at McDonalds) objects tend to steadily absorb the light and heat up to a steady state temperature, showing no signs of oscillation with time. We did a calculation of the transition probability of an atom illuminated with a broad spectrum of light and found that the probability increased linearly with time, leading to a constant transition rate. This difference comes about because the many absorption processes at different frequencies produce a ‘smeared-out’ response that destroys the coherent Rabi oscillations and results in a classical incoherent absorption. Selection Rules All of the transition probabilities are proportional to “dipole matrix elements,” such as x jn above. These are similar to dipole moment calculations for a charge distribution in classical physics, except that they involve the charge distribution in two different states, connected by the dipole operator for the transition. In many cases these integrals are zero because of symmetries of the associated wavefunctions. This gives rise to selection rules for possible transitions under the dipole approximation (atom size much smaller than the electromagnetic wave wavelength). For example, consider the matrix element z between states of the n,l , m ; n ', l ', m ' Hydrogen atom labeled by the quantum numbers n,,l m and n',','l m : z = ψ()()r z ψ r d3 r n,l , m ; n ', l ', m ' ∫∫∫ n,,l m n',l ', m ' To make progress, first consider just the φ integral.

    WHO UNDERSTANDS THE ZWEIG-IIZUKA RULE? H.J. Lipkin The Weizmann Institute of Science Rehovot, Israel Abstract: The theoretical basis of the Zweig-Iizuka Ru le is discussed with the emphasis on puzzles and paradoxes which remain open problems . Detailed analysis of ZI-violating transitions arising from successive ZI-allowed transitions shows that ideal mixing and additional degeneracies in the particle spectrum are required to enable cancellation of these higher order violations. A quantitative estimate of the observed ZI-violating f' + 2rr decay be second order transitions via the intermediate KK state agrees with experiment when only on-shell contributions are included . This suggests that ZI-violations for old particles are determined completely by on-shell contributions and cannot be used as input to estimate ZI-violation for new particle decays where no on-shell intermediate states exist . 327 INTRODUCTION - SOME BASIC QUESTIONS 1 The Zweig-Iizuka rule has entered the folklore of particle physics without any clear theoretical understanding or justification. At the present time nobody really understands it, and anyone who claims to should not be believed. Investigating the ZI rule for the old particles raises many interesting questions which may lead to a better understanding of strong interactions as well as giving additional insight into the experimentally observed suppression of new particle decays attributed to the ZI rule. This talk follows an iconoclastic approach emphasizing embarrassing questions with no simple answers which might lead to fruitful lines of investigation. Both theoretical and experimental questions were presented in the talk. However, the experimental side is covered in a recent paper2 and is not duplicated here.
  • UV-Vis. Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy

    UV-Vis. Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy

    UV-Vis. Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy Prof. Tarek A. Fayed UV-Vis. Electronic Spectroscopy The interaction of molecules with ultraviolet and visible light may results in absorption of photons. This results in electronic transition, involving valance electrons, from ground state to higher electronic states (called excited states). The promoted electrons are electrons of the highest molecular orbitals HOMO. Absorption of ultraviolet and visible radiation in organic molecules is restricted to certain functional groups (known as chromophores) that contain valence electrons of low excitation energy. A chromophore is a chemical entity embedded within a molecule that absorbs radiation at the same wavelength in different molecules. Examples of Chromophores are dienes, aromatics, polyenes and conjugated ketones, etc. Types of electronic transitions Electronic transitions that can take place are of three types which can be considered as; Transitions involving p-, s-, and n-electrons. Transitions involving charge-transfer electrons. Transitions involving d- and f-electrons in metal complexes. Most absorption spectroscopy of organic molecules is based on transitions of n- or -electrons to the *-excited state. These transitions fall in an experimentally convenient region of the spectrum (200 - 700 nm), and need an unsaturated group in the molecule to provide the -electrons. In vacuum UV or far UV (λ<190 nm ) In UV/VIS For formaldehyde molecule; Selection Rules of electronic transitions Electronic transitions may be allowed or forbidden transitions, as reflected by appearance of an intense or weak band according to the magnitude of εmax, and is governed by the following selection rules : 1. Spin selection rule (△S = 0 for the transition to be allowed): there should be no change in spin orientation i.

The discovery of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in light established a new degree of freedom by which to control not only its flow but also its interaction with matter. Here, we show that by shaping extremely sub-wavelength polariton modes, for example by imbuing plasmon and phonon polariton with OAM, we engineer which transitions are allowed or forbidden in electronic systems such as atoms, molecules, and artificial atoms. Crucial to the feasibility of these engineered selection rules is the access to conventionally forbidden transitions afforded by sub-wavelength polaritons. We also find that the position of the absorbing atom provides a surprisingly rich parameter for controlling which absorption processes dominate over others. Additional tunability can be achieved by altering the polaritonic properties of the substrate, for example by tuning the carrier density in graphene, potentially enabling electronic control over selection rules. Our findings are best suited to OAM-carrying polaritonic modes that can be created in graphene, monolayer conductors, thin metallic films, and thin films of polar dielectrics such as boron nitride. By building on these findings we foresee the complete engineering of spectroscopic selection rules through the many degrees of freedom in the shape of optical fields.
