Are There Techniques to Study Vibrational Excited States?
Several techniques are available to study vibrational excited states, including infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and inelastic neutron scattering. These methods allow researchers to observe the vibrational modes of molecules and understand how these modes change during catalytic reactions. Advanced computational methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), are also employed to predict and analyze the vibrational states and their impact on catalytic activities.
