FT‐IR,FT‐Raman,SERS spectra and computational calculations of 4‐ethyl‐N‐(2′‐hydroxy‐5′‐nitrophenyl)benzamide

Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) and FT‐Raman spectra of 4‐ethyl‐N‐(2′‐hydroxy‐5′‐nitrophenyl)benzamide were recorded and analyzed. A surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum was recorded in silver colloid. The vibrational wavenumbers and corresponding vibrational assignments were examined theoretically using the Gaussian03 set of quantum chemistry codes. The red shift of the NH stretching wavenumber in the infrared spectrum from the computational wavenumber indicates the weakening of the NH bond resulting in proton transfer to the neighboring oxygen atom. The simultaneous IR and Raman activation of the CO stretching mode gives the charge transfer interaction through a π‐conjugated path. The presence of methyl modes in the SERS spectrum indicates the nearness of the methyl group to the metal surface, which affects the orientation and metal molecule interaction. The first hyperpolarizability and predicted infrared intensities are reported. The calculated first hyperpolarizability is comparable with the reported values of similar derivatives and is an attractive subject for future studies of nonlinear optics. Optimized geometrical parameters of the title compound are in agreement with reported structures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Infrared and Raman spectra of Histidine: an ab initio DFT calculations of Histidine molecule and its different protonated forms

The infrared spectra of Histidine molecule have been recorded in the Nujoll mull as well as in aqueous solution in the range 400–4000 cm⁻¹. The Raman spectrum of the same molecule has also been measured. The different protonated/deprotonated forms of imidazole ring which contains different forms of Histidine1, Histidine2, Histidine3 and Histidine4 have been studied with DFT and RHF methods using several basis sets. A comparison of energies of the two neutral tautomers (Histidine1 and Histidine2) indicates that Histidine1 is more stable as compared to Histidine2 while Histidine3 (imidazolium cation) is the most stable in gas phase. The selected geometrical parameters and theoretically calculated frequencies for the above-mentioned form of Histidine were also proposed. The observed IR and Raman bands of Histidine molecule are assigned to different modes on the basis of calculated frequencies, their intensities and available literature values.     

Crystal structure and phonon modes of ilmenite‐type NaBiO3 investigated by Raman and infrared spectroscopies

NaBiO₃ is an ilmenite‐type compound presenting a trigonal structure. In this work, we have performed optical spectroscopic investigations using Raman scattering and infrared reflectivity for this material. By using group‐theory calculations, it was possible to determine the number of optically active modes. Fitting procedures besides Kramers–Kronig (KK) procedures lead to a consistent collection of phonon modes. The Raman spectrum showed nine active first‐order modes, while the infrared one revealed eight polar phonons, in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The results allowed us to confirm the R3 (#148) space group for this compound, and to establish a set of active phonons not yet reported in the literature.

Infrared and Raman spectroscopies of InP/II–VI core-shell nanoparticles

We use infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies to investigate the optically active phonon modes in InP nanoparticles and InP/II–VI core-shell nanoparticles fabricated by similar colloidal chemistry methods. The IR transmission spectra of several InP nanoparticle samples exhibit a common absorption feature, which we assign to the Fröhlich mode. The Raman results for the same samples show transverse and longitudinal optical phonon peaks, and scattering strength in between due to surface optical (SO) modes. Infrared spectra of the InP/ZnSe core-shell nanoparticles () exhibit three absorption features, one due to the InP core, and the others associated with the ZnSe shell layer. Raman measurements (12–292 K) also show three phonon-related peaks, whose intensities vary sharply with temperature. The frequencies of the IR and Raman lines are in approximate accord with dielectric continuum theory.     

Vibrational Analysis and Geometry Optimization of a Local Anesthetic by Means of the Am1 Semiempirical Method

The semiempirical method AM1 was used to optimize the geometric parameters: bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles in the local anesthetic benzocaine hydrochloride. The frequencies and intensities of the normal modes were computed. These results were compared with the infrared and Raman spectroscopic data. A theoretical spectrum using several scale coefficients was plotted. Electron density maps in two and three dimensions were drawn. Several calculated thermodynamic parameters are discussed.     

Vibrational spectroscopic studies and computational study of methyl(2‐methyl‐4,6–dinitrophenylsulfanyl)ethanoate

FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra of methyl(2‐methyl‐4,6–dinitrophenylsulfanyl)ethanoate (MDIE) were recorded and analyzed. Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra were recorded in silver colloid and silver electrode. The vibrational wavenumbers were computed using HF/6‐31G* and B3LYP/6‐31G* basis. The data obtained from vibrational wavenumber calculations are used to assign vibrational bands obtained in infrared and Raman spectroscopies as well as in SERS of the studied molecule. The first hyperpolarizability and infrared intensities are reported. The geometrical parameters of the title compound are in agreement with the reported similar derivatives. The presence of new bands at 1045 and 948 cm⁻¹ in the SERS spectrum in silver electrode is related to the change in orientation of the molecule with respect to the metal surface. In silver colloid SERS spectrum, the methyl group attached to the methoxy carbonyl group is close to the metal surface, whereas on silver electrode the methyl group attached to the phenyl ring is close to the metal surface.

Experimental study of relative intensities in inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (I.E.T.S.)

We present an experimental study of the relative intensities in inelastic tunneling spectra of formic and acetic acid chemisorbed on alumina. The theoretical framework is given by the simplest theory of tunneling intensities, the theory of Scalapino and Marcus. The comparison between our experimental results and the predictions of this theory provides evidence for an important discrepancy in the relative intensities in the spectrum of a given molecule. This disagreement is only partially resolved by considering the influence of the counter-electrode of the junction on the tunneling intensities. So, on the basis of an alternative derivation of the results of the theory of Scalapino and Marcus, we discuss to what extent it can be applied to the interpretation of tunneling spectra.

Density functional study on the structural conformations and intramolecular charge transfer from the vibrational spectra of the anticancer drug combretastatin‐A2

Combretastatin‐A2 (CA2), a potential anticancer drug in advanced preclinical development, is extracted from the medicinal plant C ombretum caffrum. The NIR‐FT Raman and FT‐IR spectral studies of the molecule were carried out and a b initio calculations performed at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level to derive the equilibrium geometry as well as the vibrational wavenumbers and intensities of the spectral bands. The vibrational analysis showed that the molecule has a similar geometry as that of c is‐stilbene, and has undergone steric repulsion resulting in twisting of the phenyl ring with respect to the ethylenic plane. Vibrational analysis was used to investigate the lowering of the stretching modes, and enhancement of infrared band intensities of the C–H stretching modes of Me2 may be attributed to the electronic effects caused by back‐donation and induction from the oxygen atom. Analysis of phenyl ring modes shows that the CA2 stretching mode 8 and the aromatic C–H in‐plane bending mode are equally active as strong bands in both IR and Raman spectra, which can be interpreted as the evidence of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) between the OH and OCH₃groups via conjugated ring path and is responsible for bioactivity of the molecule.

四氯化碳费米共振的拉曼光谱研究

费米共振现象是一种广泛存在于分子振动光谱中的现象,特别是结构比较复杂的多原子分子.在多原子分子中当振动倍频或组合频位于某一基频附近,由于发生振动耦合,会出现两个新峰,峰的位置向两侧发生移动,二者谱线强度发生变化,把这种现象称为费米共振.费米共振现象不仅存在于红外光谱中,也存在于拉曼光谱中.文章中测量了CCl4的拉曼光谱,利用所得到的谱线峰位和用Originpro7.5软件程序获得积分强度,用费米共振的相关理论计算了C-Cl的a1对称伸缩振动频率v1与C-Cl2的f对称弯曲振动频率v4的组合频(v1 v4)与(某一未知基频)C-Cl的f对称伸缩振动频率v03的费米共振特征参数,进而计算出了耦合系数W和这一未知基频v03.该文对理解费米共振,了解分子振动频率,研究分子结构有很重要的参考价值.     

Raman scattering in dried DNA and crystalline amino acids

Raman spectrum characteristics of dried deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and two types of crystalline amino acids (L-lysine, D-asparagine) are compared in a wide range of frequencies, including the regions of lattice (7 to 200 cm^?1) and intramolecular (200 to 4000 cm^?1) vibrations. It is found that the spectral position of the low-frequency band in the Raman spectrum of DNA with a peak near 26 cm^?1 correlates with the Raman spectrum of high-Q low-frequency modes that manifest themselves in the crystalline amino acids under investigation. The low-frequency band of DNA refers to a twist-like vibrational mode of nucleobases. The intensities of this DNA mode and the high-Q lattice modes of the crystalline amino acids L-lysine and D-asparagine are several times as high as those of the Raman lines corresponding to the intramolecular modes. Resonant coupling of low-frequency modes of DNA and amino acid molecular chains is analyzed.     

Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigation,First Hyper Polarizability and Homo–Lumo Analysis of Tetrahydroxy-1,4Quinone Hydrate Using Density Functional Theory and Hartree-Fock Method

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of tetrahydroxy-1,4quinone hydrate have been recorded in the regions 4000–400 and 3500–50 cm^–1 respectively. Using the observed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and FT-Raman data, a complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the compound has been carried out. The optimum molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities, were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) and Hartree–Fock (HF) method with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamental vibrations is very small. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of tetrahydroxy-1,4quinone hydrate is also reported. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule.     

Vibrational Spectroscopy of Xanthoxyline Crystals and DFT Calculations

The Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of xanthoxyline crystals are reported, along with ab initio computations of the vibrational spectrum of the xanthoxyline molecule. The infrared and Raman spectra were recorded at 300?K in the 400- to 4,000- and 40- to 4,000-cm^?1 intervals, respectively. The vibrational wave numbers and wave vectors were obtained from a density functional computation with the 6-31 G(d,p) basis set and the B3LYP approximation to the exchange correlation functional. Comparison with the theoretical results allows assignment of normal modes to the prominent features of the recorded spectra.     

Theoretical study of the continuous evolution of a resonance fluorescence spectrum towards a resonance Raman spectrum

A theoretical model is proposed to interpret the continuous transition from a resonance fluorescence spectrum to a resonance Raman spectrum, recently observed when the scattering molecule is progressively perturbed by its environment. An analytical expression for the resonant scattering tensor is given, which describes the evolution of the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a diatomic molecule perturbed by a foreign gas. The variations of the intensities and polarizations are quantitatively studied in the case of iodine, and it is shown how the resonance fluorescence spectrum is progressively transformed into a resonance Raman spectrum when the pressure of the perturbing gas is increased.     

Effect of temperature on IR-absorption of diphenyl

In this work, the temperature dependence of the intensities of the IR absorption bands corresponding to the fundamental vibrations, overtones and combination frequencies of diphenyl is presented. A thorough discussion of the interpretation of the fundamental modes of vibration has been made on the basis of the temperature dependence of the intensities of these absorption bands.The structure of the diphenyl molecule has been the subject of numerous investigations. Despite a considerable amount of work on the Raman(1), IR(3,4,5) and ultraviolet (2) spectra, the assignment of the fundamental frequencies has not yet been established with certainty, Some assistance can be obtained from the temperature dependence of the IR spectrum of this material.

银胶中苯甲酸表面增强拉曼峰强的温度效应

本文测定了银胶中对应于苯甲酸分子不同部分振动模的表面增强拉曼峰强度随温度变化的情形。当温度上升时,表面增强拉曼峰强一般随之降低,但对不同之振动模有着不同的速率。此结果以这样的图象来解释:表面增强拉曼效应是距离(指与银胶颗粒之表面距离)的函数,并且化学与物理机制均起作用,前者为近距离效应而后者为长距离效应。文中半定量地讨论了此二机制对苯甲酸分子不同部分的增强效应的影响。     

Electron-phonon coupling spectrum in photodoped pentacene crystals

The coupling between conduction charges and the vibrational modes of the molecular lattice plays a defining role in the transport characteristics of organic semiconductors. Using electron tunneling spectroscopy, we obtain the electron--optical-phonon coupling spectrum in photodoped pentacene crystals at energies <30 meV. Comparison of the tunneling spectrum to infrared absorption data on the optical phonon density of states yields the energy dependence of the electron-phonon scattering matrix element. The integrated spectral weight of the electron-phonon coupling shows that superconductivity in pentacene is likely of electron-phonon origin.
