The two Fe complexes dissolved into the solution described in Question 1(a) are then studied by Raman spectroscopy. When the Raman spectra of Complex 1 and Complex 2 are recorded, they each display one vibrational band that can be attributed to an Fe-OH hydroxide unit. The Raman band is detected at 615 cm-1 for Complex 1, and at 525 cm-1 for Complex 2. Both Raman bands are of equal intensity using an incident laser wavelength of 514 nm. (i) If the Fe-OH unit present in Complex 1 and in Complex 2 is a simple harmonic oscillator, and that the force constant, k, is unchanged, calculate the Raman shift value (in wavenumbers) expected for both Fe-OH units, after you isotopically substitute 160 with 180 via treatment in H2O18.
