The effect of normal-coordinate rot&ion on resonttnce Rxnrtn euxtation profiles and depolarization is mvestrgated theoretically for two nontotally symmetric modes of the ame symmetr) -

dispersion cur\es

In a moIecuIe with more than one normal mode of the same symmetry species (irreducible point group representation), these modes can mix under electronic excitation_ This mixing which can be depicted zs 3 norrx~lcoordinate rotation, is known as the Dushinsky effect [I--&] _ In this note we investigate its manifestation in resonance Raman scattering for a simple vibronic coupling model involving two nondegenerate, nontotally symmetric modes of the same symmetry_ These modes are assumed to derive their Raman activity by weakly coupling two electronic states that are energeticaIIy well separated_ Normal-coordinate rotation between the ground and resonant electronic states only is considered; that between the two coupled electronic states is neglected since the vibronic coupling is assumed to be weak. In the absence of normal-coordinate rotation, the model reduces to Sonnich LMortensen’s model [5,6] for independent nontotally symmetric modes except that nonadiabatic interactions [7,8] are included_ In that case the Raman spectrum is thus dominated by fundamentals and their excitation profiles consist of pairs of Iorentzians corresponding to the O-O uld O-l absorption bands, such that the depolarization ratio forms another Iorentzian which peaks between two such bands. We are looking for deviations from this pattern caused by the Dushinsky effect. The adiabatic ground-state potentials of the two modes labeledi = I,2 are taken to be harmomc: Eg(Q) = f

For harmonic oscillators, the overlap integrals in eq.

where the difference between AT and A,r represents the nonadiabatic contribution_ It follows that nonconventional results are obtained only when both h2 and 0 differ from zero. If h, = 0. i.e., if the mode observed derives all its intensity from the Dushinsky effect, the excitation profde will show maxima for ulu2 = 00 and 01, but not for 10. The profile of the inactive mode thus reflects the vibrational spacing of the active mode. If Xl and h2o are of comparable magnitude, strong interference effects will be observed in the ul u, = 01 and 10 band regions. in the region For h, = X2@, the 00 band will be weak and the 01 and 10 bands will interfere conskrctively ~~~ + WZ < SL < coo + WI, whereas for Xl = -h,Q the reverse will hold_ Thus if wl - o2 d r”, the 01 and 10 bands will tend to merge into a single broad band for hl * X,0, but to form a well-resolved doublet for hl Z= --X&I; in the latter case, the depolarization ratio will peak between the members of this doublet. If wl - w2 is not very small, additional terms arise which turn eq. (12) into

and using the overlap integrak Iisted in the appendix_ The 2 X 4 profiles labeled a-d differ in the relative magnitude of ‘he vibronic coupling parameters Xi and cover the cases X, = 0, X, = 0 and h, (Gl)-“’ = kX2(ZZ)-fk_ Althoughfand w1 - w2 are not very small, the results agree reasonably well with the predictions of eqs. (12) and (13). Thus fig. la (ul u2 = 10 for X, = 0) and fig. 2b (ul uZ = 01 for X, = 0) show b asicaliy Sonnich Mortensen-type doublets for modes 1 and 2, respectively, whereas fig_ lb (ul u2 = 10 for Xl = 0) and fig. 2a (uIuZ = 01 for h2 = 0) show that the forbidden mode borrows the excitation profde of the allowed mode, as predicted by eq. (12). Similarly, fig. lc (uIuZ = 10 for X1 =h2,Q>O)andfig.2d(ulu2=01 for‘A1 = +, d < 0) show weak 00 bands together with constructively interfering 10 and 01 bands, whereas fig. Id (ul u2 = 10 for h, = -X2, Q > 0) and fig. 2c (I+ u2 = 0 1 for X, % AZ, Q < 0) show strong 00 bands together with destructively interfering 10 and 01 bands, again as predicted by eq. (12). In addition, eq. (13) accounts for the intensity of the 11 band and the re!ative intensities of the CO, 01 and 01 bands. in summary, we have shown that resonance Raman excitation profiIes and their depolarization ratios provide a powerfui tool to investigate normal coordinate rotation accompanying the electronic excitation of polyatomic molecules.

Appendix Analytical expressions for the vibrational overlap iqtegrak appearing in eq_ (10) and used in figs. 1 and 2 are readily derived from the well-known recursion formulas for harmonic-oscdlator wavefunctions [ 1 l] _Together with these results, we fist the low-order approximations, valid forf,/w, < o1 - w1 < wl, which are used in eq.
