Pollution Police: How to Determine Spectroscopic Selection Rules
Selco, Jodye I.; Beery, Janet
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n2 p225 Feb 2004
Students employ mathematics and physical chemistry in a project called Pollution Police to establish spectroscopic selection rules, and apply them to detect environmental contaminants from infrared spectra. This interdisciplinary project enables students to gain multiple information on molecular symmetry, and its role in the development of spectroscopic selection rules.
