Molecular spectroscopy and accepted literature values

In summary, molecular spectroscopy is a branch of science that studies the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the use of various techniques and instruments to measure and analyze the absorption, emission, or scattering of light by molecules. There are several types of molecular spectroscopy techniques, including infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Literature values for molecular spectroscopy are determined through experiments and measurements by experts in the field and are used for comparison and validation of results. However, the accuracy of literature values can be affected by factors such as sample purity, experimental conditions, instrument sensitivity, and researcher expertise. Molecular spectroscopy and literature values have various applications in fields such

Hi,
I have finished an experiment about vibronic transitions for the N_2 molecule and I'd like to compare my results ( vibrational frequencies and dissociation energies of the electronic states interested in the N_2 second positive and N+_2 first negative band systems ) with the accepted literature values.

Does anyone know where I can find these accepted values ?

I've found them, just in case someone else will be interested: vibrational and rotational constants of diatomic molecules can be found in Herzberg - Spectra of diatomic molecules

1. What is molecular spectroscopy?

Molecular spectroscopy is a branch of science that studies the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the use of various techniques and instruments to measure and analyze the absorption, emission, or scattering of light by molecules.

2. What are the different types of molecular spectroscopy techniques?

There are several types of molecular spectroscopy techniques, including infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Each technique provides different information about the molecular structure, composition, and behavior.

3. How are literature values determined and used in molecular spectroscopy?

Literature values for molecular spectroscopy are determined through experiments and measurements by experts in the field. These values are then compiled and published in scientific journals or databases for reference. They can be used as a comparison for new experimental data and to validate the accuracy of results.

4. What factors can affect the accuracy of literature values in molecular spectroscopy?

The accuracy of literature values in molecular spectroscopy can be affected by several factors, including the purity of the sample, the experimental conditions, the sensitivity of the instrument, and the expertise of the researchers. It is important to consider these factors when using literature values for comparison.

5. How can molecular spectroscopy and literature values be applied in different fields of science?

Molecular spectroscopy and literature values have a wide range of applications in various fields of science, including chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and material science. They can be used to identify and characterize molecules, monitor chemical reactions, and determine the concentration of substances in a sample. They are also useful in quality control and research and development processes.
