Neutron inelastic scattering spectra of strongly hydrogen bonded acid oxalates NaHC2O4, KHC2O4 and LiHC2O4

Neutron inelastic scattering spectra of NaHC₂O₄, KHC₂O₄ crystals at 80 K have been recorded in the 2200-200 cm^?1 range. The lithium acid salt was also studied at different temperatures. NIS spectra are compared to the corresponding infrared and Raman spectra and an assignment is proposed. Two strong bands near 1500 and 1100 cm^?1 are assigned to δ(OH) and γ(OH) vibrations, respectively, while five weak bands below 900 cm^?1 are associated with skeletal modes, mainly bending vibrations. The OH stretching vibration is not observed and is believed to be hidden by other bands; the peak intensity must be low because of its band width which is of the order of a few hundreds wavenumbers.     

Raman and Photoluminescence Spectroscopic Detection of Surface‐Bound Li+O2− Defect Sites in Li‐Doped ZnO Nanocrystals Derived from Molecular Precursors

We present a detailed study of Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements on Li‐doped ZnO nanocrystals with varying lithium concentrations. The samples were prepared starting from molecular precursors at low temperature. The Raman spectra revealed several sharp lines in the range of 100–200 cm^?1, which are attributed to acoustical phonons. In the high‐energy range two peaks were observed at 735 cm^?1 and 1090 cm^?1. Excitation‐dependent Raman spectroscopy of the 1090 cm^?1 mode revealed resonance enhancement at excitation energies around 2.2 eV. This energy coincides with an emission band in the photoluminescence spectra. The emission is attributed to the deep lithium acceptor and intrinsic point defects such as oxygen vacancies. Based on the combined Raman and PL results, we introduce a model of surface‐bound LiO₂ defect sites, that is, the presence of Li⁺O₂^? superoxide. Accordingly, the observed Raman peaks at 735 cm^?1 and 1090 cm^?1 are assigned to Li? O and O? O vibrations of LiO₂.     

Spectres de vibration et structure d'un cristal d'amidogallate de sodium

Raman spectra (4000-150 cm^?1) of a single crystal of NaGa(NH₂)₄ and infrared spectra (4000-200 cm^?1 ) of a polycrystalline sample have been studied at different temperatures. An assignment of the bands is given. The spectra are discussed assuming S₄ and T_d point group symmetry of the Ga(NH₂)^?₄ ion at low temperature and at room temperature respectively. Metal-ligand and N-H stretching frequencies are compared to those of some other amido metalates.     

Computer deconvolution applied to the parallel band, ν9 + ν10, of hexadeuteroethane

Computer deconvolution of spectra is discussed, and a close comparison made of deconvoluted spectra with those measured at higher resolution. It is shown that spectra at a resolution of ～0.012 cm^?1 can be obtained by the use of a relatively small grating spectrometer.The parallel band, ν₉ + ν₁₀, of C₂D₆ is examined at a resolution of 0.012 cm^?1 but no K-structure is observed, indicating that (A′?B′)?(A″?B″) is less than 1 × 10^?5 cm^?1. Rotational constants are given for the main band and two hot bands.     

Piezomodulated reflection spectra of anthracene single crystals

The first piezomodulation spectra of Frenkel exciton states of a molecular crystal are reported for the (001) face of anthracene from 25 000 cm^?1 to 45 000 cm^?1. The piezoreflection spectra show structure at 300 K which may be correlated with that observed in the specular reflection spectra at 2 K. Davydov splittings at 300 K of 165 cm^?1 for 0–0 and 50 cm^?1 for 0–1 are observed.     

Differentiation of Rhizoma Curcumas Longae and Radix Curcumae by a Multistep Infrared Macro-Fingerprint Method

A multistep infrared macro-fingerprint method was applied to identify two Chinese herbal drugs, Rhizoma Curcumas Longae (RCL) and Radix Curcumae (RC). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of the two were similar to each other and consistent with the 11 peaks of the spectrum of starch. RCL had a characteristic absorption peak at approximately 1514 cm^?1 that correlated to the strong peak near 1509 cm^?1 of curcumin. Between 900 cm^?1–1700 cm^?1 of the second derivative infrared (SD-IR) spectra, with higher resolution, RCL, and curcumin had 10 common peaks. In the FT-IR and SD-IR spectra of the ethanol extract, the spectra of the RCL extract and curcumin were similar, but RC was different. According to the fingerprint characteristics of the infrared spectra for RC and its extracts, the strongest peak at 1055 cm^?1; the C-O absorption peaks at 1124 cm^?1, 1106 cm^?1, and 996 cm^?1; and the strong methylene peaks at 2925 cm^?1 and 2853 cm^?1 suggest that RC contains more saccharides. In the range of 1350 cm^?1–1700 cm^?1, RCL and RC had similar two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) correlation spectra. Both of them had three autopeaks, but the autopeaks were located at 1458 cm^?1, 1560 cm^?1, and 1641 cm^?1 for RCL and 1458 cm^?1, 1560 cm^?1, and 1669 cm^?1 for RC, suggested that the aromatic components of the two were not identical. The average correlation for the 18 RCL and 18 RC samples were 0.9906 and 0.9878, respectively, and this method achieves a good classification of the sample type.     

Interpretation of the infrared and laser-Raman spectra of cyclopentene and perfluorocyclopentene

The infrared spectra of gaseous and polycrystalline cyclopentene and perfluorocyclopentene have been recorded from 3500 to 200 cm^?1. Raman spectra of the gaseous, liquid and crystalline states for the respective molecules have also been studied and depolarization values determined. In addition, the farinfrared spectrum of solid perfluorocyclopentene has been recorded from 33 to 300 cm^?1. The 33 normal modes of each molecule have been assigned on the basis of the measured depolarization ratios, relative band intensities and group frequency correlations. A series of lines associated with the Δv = 2 transitions of the ring-puckering vibration of gaseous cyclopentene were readily detected in the Raman spectrum. The ring-puckering fundamental of perfluorocyclopentene is assigned to the Raman line centered at 100 cm^?1. The data for these molecules will be discussed in conjunction with similar studies on other cyclic systems.     

Infrared high temperature spectra of aluminium chloride and related species

Isothermal cells of nickel with diamon windows were used to study various melts and vapours by infrared emission, transmission and reflectance techniques in the 860 to 300 K range with an evacuable Fourier transform spectrometer.IR vapour spectra of AlX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) and GaCl₃ in transmission and emission were measured between 700 and 50 cm^?1. A comparable signal/noise ratio between the transmission and emission spectra was obtained above 200 cm^?1, below 200 cm^?1 the transmission spectra had better quality. The dimer and monemer spectra were assigned in terms of $\text{D}$_2h and $\text{D}$_3h symmetry, respectively, and compared with earlier Raman and IR matrix isolation data.Emission spectra of chloroaluminates AlkAlCl₄ (Alk = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) were recorded as melts between 1500 and 50 cm^?1. Increasing distortion of the tetrahedral AlCl^?₄ ion in the series Cs<Rb<K<Na<Li was observed. Emission spectra of AlkAl₂Cl₇ (Alk = Li, Na, K, Cs) indicate $\text{D}$_3d symmetry for Al₂Cl^?₇ with a linear Al-Cl-Al bridge as proposed from earlier Raman data. As a demonstration of reflectance technique an IR spectrum of ZnAl₂Cl₈ at ambient temperature is presented.     

A Raman spectroscopic study of the low-frequency vibrations in anisole and anisole-d3

Low-frequency Raman spectra of solid anisole and of solid anisole-d₃ have been recorded at 130 K. The phenyl torsion observed at 148 cm^?1 is shifted to 133 cm^?1 upon deuteration of the methyl group. The twofold torsional barriers calculated from these frequencies are 4033 ± 110 cm^?1 and 4094 ± 123 cm^?1 indicating that coupling to other low-frequency modes in both cases is of the same order of magnitude. The methyl torsional mode was observed at 285 cm^?1 in the spectrum of solid anisole and at 183 cm^?1 in the spectrum of anisole-d₃. The threefold barriers calculated using these frequencies are 1847 ± 20 cm^?1 and 1465 ± 18 cm^?1 respectively. These barrier values indicate that the methyl torsion is coupled to another low-frequency mode. A doublet centered at 230 cm^?1 in anisole is shifted to 245 cm^?1 in anisole-d₃; it is proposed that this is due to a ring mode coupled to the methyl torsion. The splitting is interpreted as an example of Davydov splitting.     

Metall-Pseudohalogenide. 28. Notiz zur IR-Absorption der koordinationspolymeren Metalltricyanmethanide M(C(CN)3)2 im Bereich von 200–400 cm−1

Metal Pseudohalides. 28. Remark on the I.R. Absorption of the Coordination Polymeric Compounds M(C(CN)₃)₂ in the Region of 200–400 cm^?1 The infrared spectra of the tricyanmethanides of 3d metals M(C(CN)₃)₂ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) in the region of 200–400 cm^?1 are reported. Significant absorption bands between about 220 and 290 cm^?1 are assigned to M—N-stretching frequencies.     

The vibrational analysis and torsional study of trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane and cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane

The infrared spectra of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane have been recorded between 4000 and 200 cm^?1 in the polycrystalline solid phase, and 4000 to 80 cm^?1 in the gas phase. The Raman spectra of these two compounds in the gaseous and liquid phases were also recorded between 3100 and 10 cm^?1. An assignment of the thirty-nine fundamental vibrations for both cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane is proposed, and comparisons are made with the vibrations of other similar molecules. Additionally, ten torsional transitions were observed in the far infrared and Raman spectra of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane, and four transitions were observed in the spectra of the trans compound. From these spectral data, torsional barriers were determined. The effective barriers to methyl torsion are 2.92 kcal mol^?1 (12.20 kJ mol^?1) for cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane and 2.61 kcal mol^?1 (11.14 kJ mol^?1) for trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopronane.     

Ruthenium(III)-Phthalocyanine: Darstelllung und Eigenschaften von Di(halogeno)phthalocyaninato(1−)ruthenium(III), [Ru(X)2Pc] (X = Cl,Br, I)

Ruthenium(III) Phthalocyanines: Synthesis and Properties of Di(halo)phthalocyaninato(1?)ruthenium(III) Di(halo)phthalocyaninato(1?)ruthenium(III), [Ru(X)₂Pc^?] (X = Cl, Br, I) is prepared by oxidation of [Ru(X)₂Pc^2?]^? (Cl, Br, OH) with halogene in dichloromethane. The magnetic moment of [Ru(X)₂Pc^?] is 2,48 μ_B (X = Cl) resp. 2,56 μ_B (X = Br) in accordance with a systeme of two independent spins (low spin Ru^III and Pc^?: S = 1/2). The optical spectra of the red violet solution of [Ru(X)₂Pc^?] (Cl, Br) are typical for the Pc^? ligand with the “B” at 13.5 kK, “Q₁” at 19.3 kK and “Q₂ region” at 31.9 kK. Sytematic spectral changes within the iron group are discussed. The presence of the Pc^? ligand is confirmed by the vibrational spectra, too. Characteristic are the metal dependent bands in the m.i.r. spectra at 1 352 and 1 458 cm^?1 and the strong Raman line at 1 600 cm^?1. The antisymmetric Ru? X stretch (v_as(Ru? X)) is observed at 189 cm^?1 (X = I) resp. 234 cm^?1 (X = Br). There are two interdependent bands at 295 and 327 cm^?1 in the region expected for v_as(Ru? Cl) attributed to strong interaction of v_as(Ru? Cl) with an out-of-plane Pc^? tilting mode of the same irreducible representation. Only the symmetric Ru? Br stretch at 183 cm^?1 is selectively enhanced in the resonance-Raman(RR) spectra. The Raman line at 168 cm^?1 of the diiodo complex is assigned to loosely bound iodine. The broad band at 978 cm^?1 in the RR spectra of the dichloro complex is due to an intraconfigurational transition within the electronic ground state of low spin Ru^III split by spin orbit coupling.     

An infrared spectroscopic investigation on N-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione and -2-selone

An infrared investigation cm N-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione and -2-selone in the range 4000-200 cm^?1 is reported. The v CS and v CSe vibrations give contributions to the absorptions around 1000 cm^?1 and below 600 cm^?1. The assignments are supported by comparison of their ir spectra with those of S- and Se-methiodides. The π-bond orders of the thio- and seleno-ketonic links in these compounds are higher than those found for 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione and -2-selone.     

Time resolved molecular spectroscopy using high power solid state lasers in pulse transmission mode. A re-examination of the Sn← S1 spectra of naphthalene and anthracene

A nanosecond laser spectrometer consisting of a 3nsec ruby/Nd PTM laser, fast detection system and high brightness analysing source is described. An analysis of the geometry considerations is given for crossed beam and collinear arrangement. The excited-state absorption spectra of naphthalene in 3MP at 85°K and 293°K from 14000 to 30000 cm^?1 are given. The results provide a direct method to evaluate the quantum yields for fluorescence φ_f and intersystem crossing φ_T. Also the excited-state absorption spectra of anthracene in PMM from 16000 to 26000 cm^?1 and in 3MP from 26000 to 36000 cm^?1 are reported.     

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und elektronische Raman-Spektren von Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatoferrat(III), -ruthenat(III) und -osmat(III)

Preparation, Properties and Electronic Raman Spectra of Bis(chloro)-phthalocyaninatoferrate(III), -ruthenate(III) and -osmate(III) Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatometalates of Fe^III, Ru^III and Os^III [MCl₂Pc(2-)]^?, with an electronic low spin ground state are formed by the reaction of [FeClPc(2-)] resp. H[MX₂Pc(2?)] (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, I) with excess chloride in weakly coordinating solvents (DMF, THF) and are isolated as (n-Bu₄N) salts. The asym. M? Cl stretch (ν_as(MCl)) is observed in the f.i.r. at 288 cm^?1 (Fe), 295 cm^?1 (Ru), 298 cm^?1 (Os), ν_as(MN) at 330 cm^?1 (Fe), 327 cm^?1 (Ru), and 317 cm^?1 (Os); only ν_s(OsCl) at 311 cm^?1 is resonance Raman (r.r.) enhanced with blue excitation. The m.i.r. and FT-Raman spectra are typical for hexacoordinated phthalocyanines of tervalent metal ions. The UV-vis spectra show besides the characteristic π-π* transitions (B, Q, N, L band) of the Pc ligand a number of extra bands at 12–15 kK and 18–24 kK due to trip-doublet and (Pc→M)CT transitions. The effect of metal substitution is discussed. The r.r. spectra obtained by excitation between the B and Q band (λ₀ = 476.5 nm) are dominated by the intraconfigurational transition Γ₇ Γ ₈ arrising from the spin-orbit splitting of the electronic ground state for Fe^III at 536 cm^?1, for Ru^III at 961 cm^?1 and Os^III at 3 028 cm^?1. Thus the spin-orbit coupling constant increases very greatly down the iron group: Fe^III (357 cm^?1)< Ru^III (641 cm^?1)< Os^III (2 019 cm^?1). The Γ₇ Γ ₈-transition is followed by a very pronounced vibrational finestructure being composed in the r.r. spectra by the coupling with ν_s(MCl), δ(MClN) and the most intense fundamental vibrations of the Pc ligand. In absorption only vibronically induced transitions are observed for the Ru and Os complex at 1 700-2800 rsp. 3100-5800 em^?1 instead of the 0-0 phonon transitions. The most intense lines are attributed to combinations of the intense odd vibrational mo-des at ≈ 740 and 1120 cm^?1 with ν₅(MCI), δ(MClN).     

Structure of Alkali Lignins Fractionated from Ricinus communis and Bagasse. 3. IR Spectra

Abstract

The lignin fractions isolated by one- and multistage soda and sulfate cookings showed almost identical IR spectra, indicating the similarity of the lignin skeletal structure throughout the plant. However, the absorbances reveal some differences. Similarity of the spectra includes: 1) chelation and bonding of the hydroxyl groups. 2) Stretching vibration of C-H bonds in methyl, methoxyl, and methylene groups. 3) Stretching vibration of C≡N. 4) Carbonyl unconjugated β-ketone, conjugated acids, or esters at 1725 cm^?1. There is no change in the intensity of absorption at this band from that at 1515 cm^?1 with the cooking stage. 5) Aromatic skeletal vibration at 1610 and 1515 cm^?1, affected by ring substituents at 1425 cm^?1. 6) The band at 1465 cm^?1 showed a higher intensity for soda and soluble kraft lignins than for insoluble kraft ones. 7) The band at 1370 cm^?1, assigned to phenolic OH bending, is affected by the methoxyl group. 8) The absence of condensed guaiacyl and the presence of syringyl and uncondensed guaiacyl. Assignments for hardwood lignin are shown for soda and soluble kraft lignins of bagasse, while those for softwood lignin are shown for soda, soluble, and insoluble kraft lignins of Ricinus communis and for insoluble kraft lignin of bagasse. A relation exists between the carbohydrate's lignin and the band at 920 cm^?1. Lignins from Ricinus communis are of higher guaiacyl to syringyl ratios than those from bagasse. The presence of C—S vibration and the absence of thiol groups for kraft lignins are indicated.     

Absorption and emission spectra of the lowest triplet state in hexachloroacetone

T₁ ← S₀ absorption and T₁ → S₀ phosphorescence spectra of neat cystalline hexachloroacetone have been analyzed at 4.2°K. From the lifetime and energy the upper state is assigned as ³nπ^*. The spectra are sharp compared to other aliphatic ketones, with the 0-0 band at 26 248 ± 2 cm ^?1. The phosphorescence shows two strong progressions; one involving the CO stretching mode at 1784 cm^?1 (x), the other a long progression of at least 8 bands involving a mode at 143 cm^t-1 (a). The 143 cm^?1 progression forming mode can best be asigned to the CO out-of-plane wagging vibration. The absorption shows the same two strong progressions, reduced in frequency to 1270 cm^t-1 and 123 cm^?1, respectively, but with the progression in mode a broadened with increasing n. The broadening is interpreted as arising from inversion doublets; the close harmonicity up to n = 5 allowing the potential barrier to inversion to be estimated as > 700 cm^?1. A feature of the spectra is the absence of low frequency torsional modes suggesting lack of pseudo Jahn-Teller distortion of the triplet state potential surface. For comparison, the phosphorescence of crystalline hexafluoroacetone was also studied at 4.2°K. The spectrum exhibits broad bandedness with a 00 band tentatively assigned at 26 870 ± 20 cm^?1.     

Physical and chemical properties of hydroxyflavones. IV. Infrared absorption spectra of dihydroxyflavones containing the 5-hydroxyl group

Solid state infrared curves (O-H and C-H stretching region) are given for 5, n-dihydroxyflavones, where n is 2′, 3′, 4′, 6, 7 and 8. In chloroform solution spectra of 3,5-dihydroxyflavone and 3-hydroxy-5-methoxyflavone, the 3-OH stretching band appears at 3400 and 3334 cm^?1, respectively, indicative of a stronger hydrogen bond in the latter substance. Solid state and solution carbonyl bands are presented for twenty-six flavone derivatives which contain a hydroxyl, methoxyl or acetoxyl group at the 5-position. The solution spectra (dioxane or carbon tetrachloride) of fourteen flavone derivatives containing a free 5-hydroxyl group show carbonyl bands at 1655±2 cm^?1. Eleven flavones in which the 5-hydroxyl is blocked (carbon tetrachloride solution) give spectra with flavone carbonyl bands at 1653±3 cm^?1. The high resolution chloroform solution spectrum of 3, 5-dihydroxyflavone possesses a multi-peaked carbonyl band with midpoint at 1641 cm^?1. The chloroform solution spectrum of 3-hydroxy-5-methoxyflavone has a very strong band at 1616 cm^?1, with shoulder at 1646 cm^?1. Spectral data of this and a previous paper support the postulate that in 4′-hydroxyflavone the flavone carbonyl oxygen is the donor atom in an intermolecular hydrogen bond. Certain details of synthesis, and analytical data, are given for 3, 5-dihydroxyflavone.     

The conformation and vibrational spectra of trans-1,4-dihalocyclohexanes: Part III. trans-1,4-Diiodo-, trans-1,4-bromoiodo- and trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane

The IR spectra of trans-1,4-diiodo- and trans-1,4-bromoiodocyclohexane as solutes in various solvents, as pellets and as solids under high pressure are recorded in the region 4000–30 cm^?1. Additional spectra of the melts, amorphous and annealed crystalline solids at 90 K and dichroic spectra of oriented crystals are recorded above 200 cm^?1. Raman spectra of the amorphous and annealed solids at 90 K and as solutes in various solvents, are obtained, including polarization measurements. IR and Raman spectra of trans-1,4-di-bromocyclohexane in the temperature range 90–250 K are recorded. Equilibrium mixtures of ee and aa conformers of the title compounds are observed in solution, in the melts and in the amorphous solid at 90 K. The ee conformer only is present in the stable crystal, while the aa conformer predominates in apparently metastable crystals annealed to ca. 205 K. The concentration of the aa conformer increases under high pressure (50 kbar). Fundamental frequencies for both ee and aa conformers are assigned. A normal coordinate analysis is carried out, and the force Fields adjusted to nine halogenated cyclohexanes using the overlay technique.
