Composition,temperature and radiation induced changes in gamma irradiated AAAMPS copolymer

Effect of composition, temperature and radiation dose in gamma irradiated acrylamide-2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulphonic acid (AA) copolymer has been investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. ESR spectra of gamma irradiated AA copolymer have been recorded under different conditions. The observed ESR spectra are analysed by computer simulation techniques, to separate the constituent component spectra. Magnetic parameters employed to simulate the component spectra enabled the identification of corresponding free radicals. The AA copolymer with low acrylamide content composed of macroradicals of the type ?CH₂?CH?CH₂? and methyl radicals (CH₃) whereas the copolymer with high acryl amide content possess methyl radicals and radicals of the type ?CH₂?C(CONH₂)?CH₂?/CH₃?C?CH₃. Reasons for the variation in the formation of free radicals have been explained. The observed changes in ESR spectra of irradiated AA copolymer at higher temperatures are thought to be due to the recombination of free radicals. Formation of free radicals found to be enhanced with the increase in dose of irradiation. FTIR spectra of pure and irradiated copolymers have also confirmed the previous results.     

Free radicals in irradiated pepper: An electron spin resonance study

With electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, we revealed various free radicals in commercially available pepper in Japan before and after γ-irradiation. The representative ESR spectrum of the pepper is composed of a sextet centered atg=2.0, a singlet at the sameg-value and a singlet atg=4.0. The first signal is attributable to a signal with hyperfine interactions of the Mn²⁺ ion (hyperfine constant, 7.4 mT). The second signal is due to an organic free radical apparently induced by a sterilization process. The third signal may originate from the Fe³⁺ ion in the nonheme proteins. The progressive saturation behavior at various microwave power levels indicated quite different relaxation behaviors of those radicals. Namely, the peak intensity of the organic free radical component decreases in a monotonic fashion, whereas the Mn²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ESR signals substantially remain constant. This evidences the presence of three independent radicals in the pepper before irradiation. Upon γ-irradiation, a new pair of signals appeared in the pepper. The progressive saturation behavior of the pair peaks after the irradiation showed a quite different behavior as compared with the free radical centered atg=2.0. For the measure of irradiation effects, we propose a universal index for the ESR analysis of irradiated dry foods.     

Proton ENDOR of dimethylnitramine free radicals

Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectra of free radicals produced by ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of polycrystalline and single crystal dimethylnitramine (or N-methyl-N-nitromethanamine) [DMN; (CH₃)₂NNO₂ were studied atca. ?30°C. Results suggest that multiple radical species are formed during UV photolysis of DMN, perdeutero-DMN-d₆, and¹⁵N-labeled DMN. Proton ENDOR spectra are consistent with assignment of a cation radical (CH₃)₂NNO ₂ ⁺ as the major DMN radical species. Proton hyperfine coupling anisotropy, which is observed from the ENDOR spectra, is attributed to inequivalence of the two DMN methyl groups.

Identification of free radicals in irradiated MA-AMPS copolymer

Methacrylamide-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid (MA-AMPS) (80:20) is subjected to n -irradiation and the generated free radicals are identified by the electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. The ESR spectrum "obser"ved for MA-AMPS (80:20) has shown a complex line shape, indicating the presence of more than one free radical. Computer simulations are employed to unravel the radicals responsible for the ESR spectrum. Radical "identification has been done with the magnetic parameters employed during computer simulation. The observed ESR spectrum of the copolymer is simulated to be a superposition of component quartet, quintet and singlet spectra. The component spectra are assigned to ～CH 2 - . (CONH 2 )-CH 2 ～ or ～CH 2 - . H-CH 2 ～, . H 3 radicals, "respectively. The possibility of formation of such radicals in the sample material has been discussed.     

EPR of C60 thermal/photochemical reactions with polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate

Thermal and photochemical free radical reaction products of C₆₀ with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) in orthodichlorobenzene solution were detected by EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance). Thermal radicals (<100°C) of C₆₀/PMMA and C₆₀/PS samples gave single line first-derivative EPR spectra withg=2.0029. Ultraviolet photolysis of a C₆₀/PMMA solid phase sample gave two radical species; whereas, photolysis of a C_60/PS solid phase sample gave only one free radical. EPR signals were also recorded for UV and thermal C₆₀ reaction with free radical initiator, azobis(isobutyronitrile).     

High-Spin Nitrene Fine-Structure ESR Spectroscopy in Frozen Rigid Glasses: Exact Analytical Expressions for the Canonical Peaks and A D-Tensor Gradient Method for Line Broadening

In high-spin chemistry, random-orientation fine-structure electron paramagnetic resonance (FS ESR) spectroscopy holds the advantages of the most facile and convenient method to identify high-spin systems. The FS ESR spectroscopy for high spins in frozen rigid glasses has seemingly been well established since the first spin-quintet m-dicarbene and m-dinitrene appeared in 1967. The FS ESR spectra of organic quintet entities generated by photolysis in the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) glass, however, have never been fully analyzed due to a peculiar line broadening appearing at many canonical peaks. The line broadening has been a notorious obstacle that masks key FS transitions of many cases in organic glasses or argon matrices. We examine the origin of the line broadening, illustrating the comprehensive spectral analysis for m-dinitrenes and other types of typical quintet-state dinitrenes observed in the 2-MTHF glass. Our new approach to the line broadening analysis invokes both exact analytical solutions for the resonance fields of canonical peaks and a magnetic-parameter gradient method. We have derived the exact analytical expressions for FS canonical peaks for high-spin states, for the first time. A microscopic origin of the line broadening observed for high-spin nitrenes generated by photolysis in rigid glasses is proposed on the basis of quantum chemical calculations of the D-tensor.     

ESR and TL studies of irradiated Anatolian laurel leaf (Laurus nobilis L.)

Laurel leaf (Laurus nobilis L.) samples that originated from Turkey were analyzed by electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence (TL) techniques before and after γ-irradiation. Unirradiated (control) laurel leaf samples exhibit a weak ESR singlet centered at g=2.0020. Besides this central signal were two weak satellite signals situated about 3 mT left and right to it in radiation-induced spectra. The dose–response curve of the radiation-induced ESR signal at g=2.0187 (the left satellite signal) was found to be described well by a power function. Variation of the left satellite ESR signal intensity of irradiated samples at room temperature with time in a long term showed that cellulosic free radicals responsible for the ESR spectrum of laurel leaves were not stable but detectable even after 100 days. Annealing studies at four different temperatures were used to determine the kinetic behavior and activation energy of the radiation-induced cellulosic free radicals responsible from the left satellite signal (g=2.0187) in laurel leaves. TL measurements of the polymineral dust isolated from the laurel leaf samples allowed distinguishing between irradiated and unirradiated samples.     

Pulsed ESR and molecular motions

The possibilities of applying three different pulsed ESR techniques have been considered: 1. Phase relaxation measurements by electron spin echo (ESE) affords the estimation of the correlation time of the motion in the region up to 10^?5 s. The results of theoretical and experimental analysis of the effect of methyl group rotation in nitroxide radicals have been proposed. 2. The method of pulsed saturation involving detection of ESE signal allows the range of the measured times to be extended up to the values of about 10^?2 s. The rotation of CH₂ group in the CH₂CO₂ ^? radical and that of the CH₃ group in the CH₃CHCO₂ ^? radical have been investigated. 3. The method of pulsed saturation combined with pulsed scanning of H₀ allows the analysis of the rotationally induced redistribution of the pulsed saturation throughout the ESR spectra of the radicals. This version of pulsed ESR has been used to study the mobility of nitroxide spin labels.     

Electron Spin Resonance study of gamma irradiated MA-AMPS copolymer

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra of gamma irradiated methylacrylamide-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulphonic acid (MA-AMPS) are recorded to identify the radical species formed during the irradiation of the copolymer. The ESR spectrum observed for irradiated MA-AMPS copolymer at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) (77 r K) is an asymmetric triplet; while the spectrum observed at room temperature (RT) is a quintet. The intensity distribution of both the spectra deviated appreciably from the expected theoretical values. Computer simulations are employed to analyze the ESR spectra observed at different temperatures. The triplet spectrum observed at LNT is simulated to be a superposition of component spectra arising from macroradicals of the type～CH 2 - \dot {\rm C} H-CH 2 ～ (I), radicals of the type \dot {\rm C} H 2 SO 3 H (II), and peroxy radicals (III). In contrast, the RT spectrum is simulated to be a superposition of component spectra arising due to radicals I, II, III together with the component quartet assigned to methyl radicals ( \dot {\rm C} H 3 ). The formation of such free radicals in irradiated copolymer is discussed.

ESR spectroscopic investigation of gamma-irradiated lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate

ABSTRACT

The effect of gamma radiation on lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiTf) was investigated in detail using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The experimental spectra consisted of complex overlapped signals. Simulations of both the 1st- and 10th-day ESR spectra gave valuable information about the spectroscopic and structural features of radiation-induced radicals. More information about the qualitative and quantitative features of the radicals were gathered from the microwave power, storage time and dosimetric feature findings. In the light of the information obtained, four radicals were accepted to be produced after irradiation of LiTf.     

MgF2单晶中位错缺陷的ESR谱——含有130多条谱线

在室温条件下的激光晶体MgF2单晶中，实验发现含有130多条峰的电子自旋共振(ESR)波谱。两个样品分别取自MgF2单晶生长放肩的尖锥部位和MgF2:Co晶体.两个样品都没有经过任何辐照处理。两个样品具有相同的各向异性谱，说明掺入的Co2+离子引发了与MgF2单晶放肩部位相同的位错缺陷，产生了相同的多核固体自由基。这些顺磁固体自由基稳定且寿命长，产生的ESR信号是各向异性的。经初步计算拟合，谱线是由三种不同的多核自由基产生的。当磁场方向与晶体的[100]或[010]方向平行时，样品的ESR信号出现在磁场从0.2292特斯拉（T）到0.4654T的0.2362T范围内（相当于能带宽度为0.233eV）。最窄的线宽DH约为0.00128特斯拉，DH相当于相邻的能级差,是非常小的，仅有1.85×10-7eV 或1.46×10-3cm-1。这一事实表明其基态简并度是相当高的，在不太高的直流磁场下几乎是一个由准连续的能级组成的能带。这有可能成为可调谐的固体激光介质的新基点。     

Effect of Lewis base coordination on boryl radical reactivity: investigation using laser flash photolysis and kinetic ESR

The effect of Lewis base coordination on boryl radical reactivity (L→BH where L is triethylamine, 2‐picoline, 4‐dimethylaminopyridine, quinoline and diphenyl phosphine) is examined. Direct detection of the different boryl radicals, their transient absorption spectra, their interaction with double or triple bonds, oxygen, oxidizing agent, alkyl halides and their hydrogen lability have been studied using laser flash photolysis (LFP), kinetic ESR (KESR), ESR spin trapping and MO calculations. For example, a strong decrease of both the bond dissociation energy (BDE)(B? H) (33.8 kcal mol^?1) and the addition rate constant to MA (1300 10⁵ to >10⁵ M^?1 s^?1) was noted when going from the triethylamine borane to the quinoline borane complex, in line with the spin delocalization (1.04 vs. 0.19). These structures are also proposed as new highly efficient co‐initiators for the acrylate photopolymerization. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Experimental intercomparison of the absorption cross-sections of nitrous acid (HONO) in the ultraviolet and mid-infrared spectral regions

Nitrous acid, HONO, is an important trace gas in tropospheric photochemistry, because it is a source of OH radicals. In order to obtain HONO concentrations from spectroscopic measurements, the knowledge of accurate absorption cross-sections is essential. Furthermore, the ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of HONO determine its atmospheric photolysis rates, which are still being debated. In particular, in a recent field study focusing on the photolysis frequency of HONO, the absolute values of the ultraviolet absorption cross-sections have been proposed as a potential source for systematic errors. For these reasons, we have compared the absorption cross-sections for HONO in the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) by performing simultaneous measurements in both spectral regions. Assuming that the IR cross-sections (that show good agreement between different studies) are correct, our study shows a good agreement between the consistent infrared studies and some selected accurate UV spectra published previously (about 6%) while a rather large disagreement (about 22%) is observed when using other UV data sets.     

Raman Spectra of Porphyrins

The spectroscopy of porphyrins has been developing rapidly during the last two decades, this class of compounds being of great biological importance and possessing a number of significant properties. Different spectroscopic techniques, viz., electronic spectroscopy including fine-structure quasiline spectra (Shpolsky effect), infrared spectroscopy, luminescence, flash photolysis, ESR and NMR spectroscopy etc., have been applied to the study of these molecules (see reference ¹ for a review). However until recently there were no publications on Raman spectra of porphyrins and related compounds although it is evident that a complete analysis of molecular vibrations is impossible without knowing the Raman frequencies, especially for centrosymmetrical molecules. We have obtained Raman spectra of two porphin derivatives, viz., copper and nickel octamethylporphin ² which seems to be, together with data on hemoglobin and cytochrome^3-5 and on chlorophylls ⁶, the first observation of Raman spectra of porphyrins. In this paper Raman spectra of several metalloporphyrins are presented including metal complexes of porphin, octamethylporphin, etioporphyrin I, meso-tetraphenylporphin and tetrabenzporphin. For some of them Shpolsky spectra have been obtained and a juxtaposition is made of the two kinds of spectral data concerning the frequencies of molecular no- modss. Also some data of infrared spectra are presented.     

Solvent- and Wavelength-Dependent Photochemistry of 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone Studied by TREPR: Implications for Commercial Sunless Tanning Lotions

1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the active ingredient in commercial personal care products for the production of a “sunless” tan on human skin. The DHA molecule is the simplest ketose sugar, and it reacts with amino acids on the surface of the skin in a biochemical pathway known as the Maillard reaction. However, DHA is known to be photochemically active and will produce free radicals with high quantum yield under ultraviolet (UV) excitation. We report here a detailed study of the free radicals produced by DHA photolysis as a function of wavelength and solvent. In contrary to the previous optical and steady-state electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, X-band time-resolved (TR)-EPR spectra reveal a complex reactivity pattern: Norrish I α-cleavage is observed in almost all cases, but when good H-atom donors are present, H-atom abstraction by the solvent is observed. Changing the wavelength of excitation from 308 to 248 nm can reverse this observation. Comparison of TREPR spectra obtained from commercially available sunless tanning lotions shows that many free radicals, including those from DHA, can be detected using direct detection TREPR upon photolysis of the lotions themselves. The results suggest that caution should be observed in the use of these products in conjunction with UV exposure.     

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2/MoO3/carbon clusters composite material

Nano-sized TiO₂/MoO₃/carbon clusters composite material has been successfully obtained by the calcinations of a TiO(acac)₂/MoO₂(acac)₂/epoxy resin complex under an oxygen atmosphere. The compositions of the resulting composite materials were determined using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, elemental analysis and surface characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of the composites were also measured. ESR spectra of the composite materials suggest that they have visible light-responsive catalytic ability with an electron transfer process of carbon clusters → MoO₃ → carbon clusters → TiO₂.
