62
Q

4 Things that give less Degrees of Freedom than expected:

  2. The energies of 2 or more vibrations are identical (or nearly identical)
  3. The absorption intensity is so low that it is undetectable
  4. The vibrational energy is in a wavelength region beyond the instrument’s range
63
Q

A

They interact with each other.

64
Q

Rules of Vibrational Coupling:

A

A. Strong coupling between stretch vibrations occurs only when there is an atom common to the 2 vibrations.

B. Interaction between bending vibrations requires a common bond between the vibrating groups.

C. Coupling between a stretching and bending vibration can occur if the stretching bond forms one side of the angle that varies in the bending vibration.

D. Interaction is greatest when the coupled groups have individual energies that are nearly equal.

E. Little or no interaction is observed between groups separated by 2 or more bonds.

F. Coupling requires that the vibrations be of the same symm. species.
