Abstract

In this column we focus on two significant topics for young chemists. The first is curve-fitting and the statistical analysis of the fitting parameters. The second is the analysis of the rotation/vibration spectrum of a diatomic molecule, HCl.

    • Global Least-Squares Analysis of the IR Rotation–Vibration Spectrum of HCl

      Joel Tellinghuisen
      Journal of Chemical Education2005 82 (1), 150

      The study of the IR rotation–vibration spectrum is a mainstay of the undergraduate laboratory curriculum in spectroscopy. Typical spectra consist of the fundamental and overtone bands for H35Cl and H37Cl (and sometimes D35Cl and D37Cl). These can be ...
