Raman Intensities and the Nature of the Chemical Bond

  • Chapter

Abstract

The experimental determination of Raman intensities is commonly a difficult procedure, particularly when the resulting intensities are to be placed on an absolute scale. For the purpose of evaluating derived properties characteristic of the chemical bonds responsible for the intensities, Raman intensities which have been corrected for such factors as spectrometer spectral sensitivity, optical absorption, sample geometry, and refractive index must be used. However, before discussing these factors and the applications and interpretations of absolute Raman intensities, it is necessary to examine in some detail the various theoretical relationships used to relate such corrected intensities to properties of chemical bonds.
