Multidimensional infrared spectroscopy of water. I. Vibrational dynamics in two-dimensional IR line shapes

In this and the following paper, we describe the ultrafast structural fluctuations and rearrangements of the hydrogen bonding network of water using two-dimensional (2D) infrared spectroscopy. 2D IR spectra covering all the relevant time scales of molecular dynamics of the hydrogen bonding network of water were studied for the OH stretching absorption of HOD in D2O. Time-dependent evolution of the 2D IR line shape serves as a spectroscopic observable that tracks how different hydrogen bonding environments interconvert while changes in spectral intensity result from vibrational relaxation and molecular reorientation of the OH dipole. For waiting times up to the vibrational lifetime of 700 fs, changes in the 2D line shape reflect the spectral evolution of OH oscillators induced by hydrogen bond dynamics. These dynamics, characterized through a set of 2D line shape analysis metrics, show a rapid 60 fs decay, an underdamped oscillation on a 130 fs time scale induced by hydrogen bond stretching, and a long time decay constant of 1.4 ps. 2D surfaces for waiting times larger than 700 fs are dominated by the effects of vibrational relaxation and the thermalization of this excess energy by the solvent bath. Our modeling based on fluctuations with Gaussian statistics is able to reproduce the changes in dispersed pump-probe and 2D IR spectra induced by these relaxation processes, but misses the asymmetry resulting from frequency-dependent spectral diffusion. The dynamical origin of this asymmetry is discussed in the companion paper.     

Ab initio-based all-mode two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of a sugar molecule

To construct two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra having all vibrational modes of a molecule included is still quite challenging, both experimentally and theoretically. Here we report an ab initio-based all-mode 2D IR spectra simulation approach. Using deuterated glycolaldehyde (CH2OHCDO), the smallest sugar as a model molecule, we have calculated correlation 2D IR spectrum of its entire 3N-6 (N=8) normal modes in the mid-to-far-IR region (4000-0 cm(-1)), using quantum chemical anharmonic frequency and anharmonicity computations in conjunction with time-domain third-order nonlinear response functions. The calculated 2D IR spectra were found to contain a network of structural and dynamical parameters of the molecule. It is found that certain spectral regions, once enlarged, show features that are in reasonable agreement with limited but already available single- and dual-frequency 2D IR experimental results. The extension of narrow-band 2D IR spectroscopy into the full mid-to-far-IR regime would allow us to characterize the structural distributions and dynamics of molecular complexes in condensed phases with sufficient number of parameters.     

Spectrally- and time-resolved vibrational surface spectroscopy: ultrafast hydrogen-bonding dynamics at D2O/CaF2 interface

Time- and frequency-domain three-wave mixing spectroscopy (IR+visible sum frequency generation) is developed as the lowest-order nonlinear technique that is both surface selective and capable of measuring spectral evolution of vibrational coherences. Using 70 fs infrared and 40 fs visible pulses, we observe ultrafast spectral dynamics of the OD stretch of D2O at the CaF2 surface. Spectral shifts indicative of the hydrogen-bond network rearrangement occur on the 100 fs time scale, within the observation time window determined by the vibrational dephasing. By tuning the IR pulse wavelength to the blue or red side of the OD-stretch transition, we selectively monitor the dynamics of different subensembles in the distribution of the H-bond structures. The blue-side excitation (weaker H-bonding structures) shows monotonic decay and nu(OD) frequency shift to the red on a 100 fs time scale, which is better described by a Gaussian than an exponential frequency correlation function. In contrast, the red-side excitation (stronger H-bonding structures) results in a blue spectral shift and a recursion in the signal at 125+/-10 fs, indicating the presence of an underdamped intermolecular mode of interfacial water.     

A two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopic study on the thermal degradation of poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate)-co-methyl methacrylate/SiO2 nanohybrids

Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) correlation spectroscopy was applied to study the structural changes occurring in the decomposition of PHEA-co-MMA/SiO₂. Complicated absorption spectral changes were observed in the heating process. 2D IR analysis indicates that during heating, covalent bonds, (Si-O-C), between the polymer and the inorganic moiety were formed, which was the main factor in the improvement in thermal properties of the hybrids such as the decomposition temperatures (T_d). The thermal stability of the hybrids was also studied by solid-state ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and TGA tests. Their results complemented each other well.

Dynamics of a myoglobin mutant enzyme: 2D IR vibrational echo experiments and simulations

Myoglobin (Mb) double mutant T67R/S92D displays peroxidase enzymatic activity in contrast to the wild type protein. The CO adduct of T67R/S92D shows two CO absorption bands corresponding to the A(1) and A(3) substates. The equilibrium protein dynamics for the two distinct substates of the Mb double mutant are investigated by using two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) vibrational echo spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The time-dependent changes in the 2D IR vibrational echo line shapes for both of the substates are analyzed using the center line slope (CLS) method to obtain the frequency-frequency correlation function (FFCF). The results for the double mutant are compared to those from the wild type Mb. The experimentally determined FFCF is compared to the FFCF obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, thereby testing the capacity of a force field to determine the amplitudes and time scales of protein structural fluctuations on fast time scales. The results provide insights into the nature of the energy landscape around the free energy minimum of the folded protein structure.     

Vibrational coherence transfer characterized with Fourier-transform 2D IR spectroscopy

Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy of the symmetric and asymmetric C[Triple Bond]O stretching vibrations of Rh(CO)(2)acac in hexane has been used to investigate vibrational coherence transfer, dephasing, and population relaxation in a multilevel vibrational system. The transfer of coherence between close-lying vibrational frequencies results in extra relaxation-induced peaks in the 2D IR spectrum, whose amplitude depends on the coherence transfer rate. Coherence transfer arises from the mutual interaction of the bright CO stretches with dark states, which in this case reflects the mutual d-pi(*) back bonding of the Rh center to both the terminal carbonyls and the acetylacenonate ligand. For 2D IR relaxation experiments with variable waiting times, coherent dynamics lead to the modulation of peak amplitudes, while incoherent population relaxation and exchange results in the growth of the relaxation-induced peaks. We have modeled the data by propagating the density matrix with the Redfield equation, incorporating all vibrational relaxation processes during all three experimental time periods and including excitation reorientation effects arising from relaxation. Coherence and population transfer time scales from the symmetric to the asymmetric stretch were found to be 350 fs and 3 ps, respectively. We also discuss a diagrammatic approach to incorporating all vibrational relaxation processes into the nonlinear response function, and show how coherence transfer influences the analysis of structural variables from 2D IR spectroscopy.     

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics of Biomolecules Examined by Multiple‐Mode 2D IR Spectroscopy: Anharmonically Coupled Motions are in Harmony

Quantum chemical computations, molecular dynamics simulations, and linear and nonlinear infrared spectral simulations are carried out for four representative biomolecules: cellobiose, alanine tripeptide, L ‐α‐glycerylphosphorylethanolamine, and the DNA base monomer guanine. Anharmonic transition frequencies and anharmonicities for the molecules in vacuum are evaluated. Instantaneous normal‐mode analysis is performed and the vibrational frequency distribution correlations are examined for the molecules solvated in TIP3P water. Many local and regional motions of the biomolecules are predicted to be anharmonically coupled and their vibrational frequencies are predicted to be largely correlated. These coupled and correlated vibrational motions can be easily visualized by pairwise cross peaks in the femtosecond broadband two‐dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra, which are simulated using time‐domain third‐order nonlinear response functions. A network of distinctive spectral profiles of the 2D IR cross peaks, including peak orientations and positive and negative signal patterns, are shown to be intimately connected with the couplings and correlations. The results show that the vibrational couplings and correlations, driven by solvent interactions and also by intrinsic vibrational interactions, are vibrational mode dependent and thus chemical group dependent, and form the structural and dynamical basis of the anharmonic vibrators that are ubiquitous in biomolecules.     

Two‐Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy Reveals the Structure of an Evans Auxiliary Derivative and Its SnCl4 Lewis Acid Complex

Determining the structure of reactive intermediates is the key to understanding reaction mechanisms. To access these structures, a method combining structural sensitivity and high time resolution is required. Here ultrafast polarization‐dependent two‐dimensional infrared (P2D‐IR) spectroscopy is shown to be an excellent complement to commonly used methods such as one‐dimensional IR and multidimensional NMR spectroscopy for investigating intermediates. P2D‐IR spectroscopy allows structure determination by measuring the angles between vibrational transition dipole moments. The high time resolution makes P2D‐IR spectroscopy an attractive method for structure determination in the presence of fast exchange and for short‐lived intermediates. The ubiquity of vibrations in molecules ensures broad applicability of the method, particularly in cases in which NMR spectroscopy is challenging due to a low density of active nuclei. Here we illustrate the strengths of P2D‐IR by determining the conformation of a Diels–Alder dienophile that carries the Evans auxiliary and its conformational change induced by the complexation with the Lewis acid SnCl₄, which is a catalyst for stereoselective Diels–Alder reactions. We show that P2D‐IR in combination with DFT computations can discriminate between the various conformers of the free dienophile N‐crotonyloxazolidinone that have been debated before, proving antiperiplanar orientation of the carbonyl groups and s‐cis conformation of the crotonyl moiety. P2D‐IR unequivocally identifies the coordination and conformation in the catalyst–substrate complex with SnCl₄, even in the presence of exchange that is fast on the NMR time scale. It resolves a chelate with the carbonyl orientation flipped to synperiplanar and s‐cis crotonyl configuration as the main species. This work sets the stage for future studies of other catalyst–substrate complexes and intermediates using a combination of P2D‐IR spectroscopy and DFT computations.     

Two-dimensional infrared spectra of the 13C=18O isotopomers of alanine residues in an alpha-helix

The parameters needed to describe the two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra of the isotopically labeled alpha-helix are presented. The 2D IR spectra in the amide-I' spectral region of a series of singly 13C=18O-labeled 25-residue alpha-helices were measured by three-pulse heterodyned spectral interferometry. The dependence of the spectra on the population time was measured. Individual isotopomer levels (residues 11-14) were clearly identified in 2D IR, downshifted by approximately 61 cm(-1) from the main helical band. By analyzing the line shapes of the 13C=18O diagonal peaks that appeared at approximately 1571.3 +/- 0.8 cm(-1) for all four labeled samples, we observed wider structural distributions for residues 14 and 11 than those for 12 and 13. A small fast component in the correlation function was used to estimate the dynamics of these distributions. In all cases, the v = 1 --> 2 transition showed a more Lorentzian-like line shape and also decayed faster than the v = 0 --> 1 transition, indicating that the population relaxation time of the v = 2 state was significantly faster than the v = 1 state. The amide transitions with naturally abundant 13C=16O appeared at approximately 1594 cm(-1), forming very weak and blurred cross-peaks with 13C=18O isotopomer modes. The effects of spectral interferences on the coherence time dependence of the detection frequency spectrum were also investigated. The methods of first moments and Wigner analysis were developed to circumvent the interference effects on the weak isotopomer transitions. The structural origin of the distributions for individual isotopomers was proposed to be an effect of nearby lysine residues on the intrahelical hydrogen-bond network.
