Abstract:
Binary collision-induced hyper-Rayleigh (CIHR) spectra of Kr-Xe gaseous system are computed quantum mechanically and classically within the frequency range up to 380 cm(-1). The intensities are expressed in absolute units. The details of the theory developed for the CIHR spectra are given and the properties of the profiles as well as the depolarization ratio frequency dependence are discussed. The contributions to the spectra related to the vector b10(r) and the septor b30(r) components of the hyperpolarizability tensor are evaluated.

Noble Gases
The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.
Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
