The vibration spectra of helical molecules: infra-red and Raman selection rules, intensities and approximate frequencies
Abstract
The infra-red and Raman selection rules for an infinite long-chain molecule having helical symmetry are discussed, and the normal modes of vibration are classified by the use of group theory. A weak-coupling approximation is used to derive relations between the intensities of the variously polarized spectral components arising from a single vibration frequency of the unit out of which the helix is built. A form of matrix perturbation theory is used to obtain some approximate relations between the frequencies of these components; these relations involve the angle ψ relative to the screw axis which separates successive units of the helix and provide, in principle, a method by which this angle may be measured. It is suggested that the methods discussed here may serve as a basis for the interpretation of the spectra of fibrous proteins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
