Abstract:
A set of electro-optical parameters (EOPs) of cylindrical zero-order bond polarizability model (BPM) for chemical bonds found in peptides was obtained from the results of quantum-chemical computations. The calculation of the polarizability tensors and the Raman scattering activities of four test molecules (N-methylacetamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dialanine, and diglycine) has shown that the BPM calculated quantities are in good agreement with the reference data obtained in experiments or derived by quantum-chemical calculations. The mean molecular polarizabilities are reproduced with the maximum relative error of 1.6%. A good agreement was obtained for the Raman activity of stretching vibrations, whereas a limited performance of the EOPs was found for the vibrational modes with a significant contribution of the bending internal coordinates involving H atoms. The origins of the discrepancies are analyzed, and the ways of improvement of the model performance are discussed.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
