Abstract
Precise identification and sensing of organic and inorganic molecular systems are key factors in several applications in present industrial and scientific domains. While high energy modes, due to electronic interactions, are mostly impervious to the initial thermodynamic or chemical conditions, the low energy modes are sensitive to such alterations which makes them suitable for quality control purpose with sensitive spectral identification methods. Here we report for the first time, several low frequency peaks of specific nitrogen-based compounds and their derivatives, using the dual spectroscopic approach of Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and THz Raman Spectroscopy (THz-RS). Two different isomeric molecular systems have also been investigated to assess both the selectivity and specificity of low energy modes in their identification and spectral correlation in terms of molecular interactions. This information of low frequency modes can be utilized readily by pharmaceutical and agri-food industries, chemical engineering and crystal growth communities in identification, detection, quality control and industrial waste management.
