Systematically interpret Raman spectra to identify molecular vibrations, assess polarizability-driven selection rules, compare with complementary IR data, and evaluate depolarization ratios for symmetry assignment. Covers Raman-active mode identification, fluorescence interference mitigation, and reference spectrum matching.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Interpret Raman Spectrum

Analyze Raman scattering spectra to identify molecular vibrations, apply selection rules complementary to infrared absorption, and integrate Raman data with IR results for a comprehensive vibrational analysis.

## When to Use

- Analyzing samples that are difficult for IR (aqueous solutions, sealed containers, remote sensing)
- Identifying symmetric vibrations that are weak or inactive in IR
- Complementing IR data using the mutual exclusion principle for centrosymmetric molecules
- Characterizing carbon materials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, diamond) via characteristic Raman bands
- Analyzing inorganic compounds, minerals, or crystalline phases where Raman is often more informative than IR
- Performing non-destructive, in situ analysis (no sample preparation required for many Raman measurements)

## Inputs

- **Required**: Raman spectrum data (Raman shift in cm-1 vs. intensity)
- **Required**: Excitation laser wavelength (e.g., 532 nm, 633 nm, 785 nm, 1064 nm)
- **Optional**: IR spectrum of the same sample for complementary analysis
- **Optional**: Polarization data (parallel and perpendicular spectra for depolarization ratios)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/interpret-raman-spectrum@sha256:3b82d7545d379882

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
