Rotational states have smaller energy differences than vibrational states soΔ 𝐽 =☑, 2, 3.įigure 1. At room temperture only the ground state v=0 is usually populated and Δ 𝑣 =+1 when excited. Molecules are quantized so both J and 𝑣 are integers (☐, 1, 2…). the rotational constant,, 𝐷 𝑒 accounts for centrifugal stretching, and 𝛼 𝑒 is the anharmonicity correction to rotation. Where is the anharmonic vibrational frequency correction, 𝐵 𝑒. (1) and (2) are combined to describe the motion of a molecule while also considering anharmonicity and the interaction of vibration and rotation, Molecules undergo vibration and rotation simultaneously so Eqs. Where J is the rotational quantum number, I is the moment of inertia, and h is plank’s constant. Rotation of a diatomic molecule in its simplest form is described by the rigid rotor, Rotation of atoms is important in infrared study of molecules because changes in the rotational state affect the molecules vibrational fine structure. Where E is energy, 𝑣 is the vibrational quantum number, v is frequency, and h is plank’s constant. Diatomic molecules only have one mode of vibration described by the harmonic oscillator, Absorption of infrared light only occurs when the frequency of the wavelength is the same as the vibrational frequency of a molecule. A molecules vibrational and rotational movement is essential in the study of infrared spectroscopy, which measures the absorption of light by a molecule. Molecules can have three modes of movement vibration, rotation, and translation.
Computational and literature values had high correlation with calculated HCl constants. Values for HCl were also determined using computational Gaussian modeling and compared to Literature. The k and r e were unaffected by the isotopic effect with values of 515.20 N/m and 1.31 A for HCl and 515.23 N/m and 1.30 A for DCl. These constants were then used to determine the moment of inertia, I e, the internuclear separation, r e, force constant, k, anharmonicity, v ex e, and equilibrium frequency v e. Polynomial fit was determined of the plots and then used to calculate, , D e, α e, and B e by using the harmonic oscillator and rigid rotor models. The spectra of HCl and DCl were used to create separate plots of the m transition with corresponding wavenumber. The isotopic effect was observed in a spectrum of both HCl and DCl with DCl at a lower wavenumber than HCl which coincided with 37Cl being observed at a lower frequency than 35Cl. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study the vibrational and rotational motions of diatomic molecules hydrogen chloride, HCl and deuterated chloride, DCl. Infrared spectroscopy is an important analytical tool to determine the structure of molecules.
