Selection Rules for electronic transitions
 Laporte selection: transitions between states of
same parity are not allowed (g->u or u->g are
OK)
 Spin selection: transitions involving a change in
spin multiplicity are not allowed (4A2  4T1 ok;
4A  1T not OK)

 Charge transfers are often very intense

Calculate Ground state Term Symbols
 Describe angular momentum (spin and orbital)
using LS coupling (Russell-Suanders)
 Write out electron config. Find L and S
MS = ms
 ML = ml
 ML = 0, ±1, ±2…±L
MS = 0, ±1, ±2…±S
 The ground state has maximal spin mulitpliticity!
 The ground state has highest S (Hunds rule)
 Tiebreaker; state with highest L

Easy way for ground state term symbols
 To find maximal spin multiplicity (2S+1) and highest
orbital angular momentum (L):
 Write ml values for the valence subshell(s)
 Eg: d4 ion
 s1p1 ion

Reducing microstates to the Free Atom States
(AKA Terms)
 Break down microstates into
rectangular groups, to figure out L.
 (2S+1)L for spin multiplicity
 Ground state has maximum
multiplicity

Beers Law
 A = lc l (pathlength); c (mol/L);  (M-1 cm-1)
 A = log (Io/I)
 E = h = hc/= hcത
