Vibrational sum-frequency-generation (SFG) spectroscopy study of the structural assembly of cellulose microfibrils in reaction woods

The cellulose microfibril assemblies in secondary cell walls of tension wood and compression wood were studied with vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The tension wood contains the gelatinous layer with highly-crystalline and highly-aligned cellulose microfibrils. The SFG spectral features of tension wood changed depending on the azimuth angle between the polarization of the incident IR beam and the preferential alignment axis of the cellulose microfibrils. The SFG spectra of the compression wood did not show any dependence on the azimuth angle, implying that the overall orientation of cellulose microfibrils in compression wood is not highly aligned. Instead, the decrease of cellulose content in compression wood brought about larger separation between cellulose microfibrils, which was manifested as changes in CH₂/OH intensity ratio in SFG spectra. These results implied that SFG spectral features are sensitive to cellulose microfibril alignments and inter-fibrillar separations.     

An approach to compatible multiple nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy measurements using a commercial sum frequency generation system

In this paper, we designed a compatible multiple nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy system that can be used for recording infrared-visible sum frequency generation vibrational spectra (SFG) and infrared-infrared-visible three-pump-field four-wave-mixing (IIV-TPF-FWM) spectra using a commercial EKSPLA SFG system. This is the first time IIV-TPF-FWM signals were obtained using picosecond laser pulses. We have applied this compatible system to study the surface and vibrational structures of riboflavin molecules (also known as vitamin B2). The SFG spectra of eight polarization combinations have non-vanishing signals. The signals with incoming s-polarized IR are relatively weaker than the signals with incoming p-polarized IR. Under the double resonant conditions, the SFG signals of the conjugated tricyclic ring are greatly enhanced. For the IIV-TPF-FWM spectra with incoming p-polarized IR, only the sspp and pppp polarization combinations have non-vanishing signals. The IIV-TPF-FWM spectra show a very strong peak at 1585 cm(-1) that is mainly dominated by the N(5)-C(4a) stretch. The method developed in this study will be helpful for researchers, either using a home-built or commercial (EKSPLA) SFG system, to obtain independent and complementary measurements for SFG spectroscopy and more detailed structural information of interfacial molecules.     

Sum frequency generation study of immobilized 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled layer on Si(111) substrates

Distribution and orientation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on a sensing surface play critical role on biosensor, but have not been fully investigated. In this work, the quality of APTES SAM immobilized on the Si(111) substrate was studied by observing sum frequency generation (SFG) response. The polarization, azimuthal angle, and position-dependent SFG spectra of APTES coverage were obtained. In ppp and psp-SFG spectra, the CH₂ and CH₃ vibrational and NH stretching modes were clearly seen around 3000 cm⁻¹ and around 3300 cm⁻¹ regions, respectively. The spp and ssp-SFG spectra presented too weak signals that the vibrational regions were not clear. The positional and azimuthal angle dependence of the SFG spectra was observed from 0^o to 360^o with the step of 45^o rotation around the surface normal. The 0° is defined as the [ ] direction of Si(111) crystal lying in the incident plane and opposite to the incident k vectors. The appearance of the NH mode was observed to be strongly dependent on the position. The results indicate that the distribution and orientation of APTES molecules were not well ordered on the Si surfaces, suggesting that SFG is an efficient method to check the quality of APTES coverage immobilized on substrates.     

Laser Linewidth and Spectral Resolution in Infrared Scanning Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy System

Sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) is a robust technique for interfacial investigation at molecular level. The performance of SFG-VS mostly depends on the spectral resolution of the SFG system. In this research, a simplified function was deduced to calculate the spectral resolution of picosecond SFG system and the lineshape of SFG spectra based on the Guassian shaped functions of IR beam and visible beam. The function indicates that the lineshpe of SFG spectra from nonresonant samples can be calculated by the Guassian widths of both IR beam and visible beam. And the Voigt lineshape of SFG spectra from vibrational resonant samples can be calculated by the Homogeneous broadening (Lorentzian width) and Inhomogeneous broadening (Guassian width) of vibrational modes, as well as the Guassian widths of both IR beam and visible beam. Such functions were also applied to verify the spectral resolution of the polarization-resolved and frequency-resolved picosecond SFG-VS system which was developed by our group recently. It is shown that the linewidths of IR beams that generated from current laser system are about 1.5 cm^-1. The calculated spectral resolution of current picosecond IR scanning SFG-VS system is about 4.6 cm^-1, which is consist with he spctral resolution shown in the spectra of cholesterol monolayer (3.5-5 cm^-1).     

Polarization and experimental configuration analyses of sum frequency generation vibrational spectra, structure, and orientational motion of the air/water interface

Here we report a detailed study on spectroscopy, structure, and orientational distribution, as well as orientational motion, of water molecules at the air/water interface, investigated with sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS). Quantitative polarization and experimental configuration analyses of the SFG data in different polarizations with four sets of experimental configurations can shed new light on our present understanding of the air/water interface. Firstly, we concluded that the orientational motion of the interfacial water molecules can only be in a limited angular range, instead of rapidly varying over a broad angular range in the vibrational relaxation time as suggested previously. Secondly, because different vibrational modes of different molecular species at the interface has different symmetry properties, polarization and symmetry analyses of the SFG-VS spectral features can help the assignment of the SFG-VS spectra peaks to different interfacial species. These analyses concluded that the narrow 3693 cm(-1) and broad 3550 cm(-1) peaks belong to C(infinityv) symmetry, while the broad 3250 and 3450 cm(-1) peaks belong to the symmetric stretching modes with C2v symmetry. Thus, the 3693 cm(-1) peak is assigned to the free OH, the 3550 cm(-1) peak is assigned to the singly hydrogen-bonded OH stretching mode, and the 3250 and 3450 cm(-1) peaks are assigned to interfacial water molecules as two hydrogen donors for hydrogen bonding (with C2v symmetry), respectively. Thirdly, analysis of the SFG-VS spectra concluded that the singly hydrogen-bonded water molecules at the air/water interface have their dipole vector directed almost parallel to the interface and is with a very narrow orientational distribution. The doubly hydrogen-bonded donor water molecules have their dipole vector pointing away from the liquid phase.     

空气/水界面水分子的取向和运动

Here we report a quantitative study of the orientational structure and motion of water molecule at the air/water interface. Analysis of Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) vibrational peak of the free O-H stretching band at 3700 cm-1 in four experimental configurations showed that orientational motion of water molecule at air/water interface is libratory within a limited angular range. The free OH bond of the interfacial water molecule is tilted around 33° from the interface normal and the orientational distribution or motion width is less than 15°. This picture is significantly different from the previous conclusion that the interfacial water molecule orientation varies over a broad range within the ultrafast vibrational relaxation time, the only direct experimental study concluded for ultrafast and broad orientational motion of a liquid interface by Wei et al.(Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 4799, (2001)) using single SFG experimental configuration.     

Theoretical Simulation of Vibrational Sum‐Frequency Generation Spectra from Density Functional Theory: Application to p‐Nitrothiophenol and 2,4‐Dinitroaniline

The molecular orientation of adsorbed molecules forming self‐assembled monolayers can be determined by combining vibrational sum‐frequency generation (SFG) measurements with quantum chemical calculations. Herein, we present a theoretical methodology used to simulate the SFG spectra for different combinations of polarizations. These simulations are based on calculations of the IR vectors and Raman tensors, which are obtained from density functional theory computations. The dependency of the SFG vibrational signature with respect to the molecular orientation is presented for the molecules p‐nitrothiophenol and 2,4‐dinitroaniline. It is found that a suitable choice of basis set as well as of exchange‐correlation (XC) functional is mandatory to correctly simulate the SFG intensities and consequently provide an accurate estimation of the adsorbed molecule orientation. Comparison with experimental data shows that calculations performed at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) level of approximation provide good agreement with experimental frequencies, and with IR and Raman intensities. In particular, it is demonstrated that polarization and diffuse functions are compulsory for reproducing the IR and Raman spectra, and consequently vibrational SFG spectra, of systems such as p‐nitrothiophenol. Moreover, the investigated XC functionals reveal their influence on the relative intensities, which show rather systematic variations with the amount of Hartree–Fock exchange. Finally, further aspects of the modeling are revealed by considering the frequency dependence of the Raman tensors.     

C-H stretching vibrations of methyl, methylene and methine groups at the vapor/alcohol (N = 1-8) interfaces

In IR and Raman spectral studies, the congestion of the vibrational modes in the C-H stretching region between 2800 and 3000 cm(-1) has complicated spectral assignment, conformational analysis, and structural and dynamics studies, even with quite a few of the simplest molecules. To resolve these issues, polarized spectra measurement on a well aligned sample is generally required. Because the liquid interface is generally ordered and molecularly thin, and sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) is an intrinsically coherent polarization spectroscopy, SFG-VS can be used for discerning details in vibrational spectra of the interfacial molecules. Here we show that, from systematic molecular symmetry and SFG-VS polarization analysis, a set of polarization selection rules could be developed for explicit assignment of the SFG vibrational spectra of the C-H stretching modes. These polarization selection rules helped assignment of the SFG-VS spectra of vapor/alcohol (n = 1-8) interfaces with unprecedented details. Previous approach on assignment of these spectra relied on IR and Raman spectral assignment, and they were not able to give such detailed assignment of the SFG vibrational spectra. Sometimes inappropriate assignment was made, and consequently misleading conclusions on interfacial structure, conformation and even dynamics were reached. With these polarization rules in addition to knowledge from IR and Raman studies, new structural information and understanding of the molecular interactions at these interfaces were obtained, and some new spectral features for the C-H stretching modes were also identified. Generally speaking, these new features can be applied to IR and Raman spectroscopic studies in the condensed phase. Therefore, the advancement on vibrational spectra assignment may find broad applications in the related fields using IR and Raman as vibrational spectroscopic tools.     

Coherent vibrational quantum beats as a probe of Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers

We combine frequency- and femtosecond time-domain measurements of vibrational coherences for spectroscopic characterization of surface monolayer films, utilizing 3-wave mixing as the surface-selective technique. Frequency-domain spectra in the CH-stretch region are obtained by infrared + visible sum frequency generation (SFG). Time-domain coherences are measured using SFG free induction decay (SFG-FID), where a 75 fs IR pulse excites several vibrational modes and a delayed 40 fs visible pulse probes the oscillating surface polarization. A unified framework based on optical Bloch equations is used to simultaneously analyze the time- and frequency-domain data. We compare molecular organization of monolayers in different two-dimensional phases. Highly ordered films transferred at high surface pressure are dominated by two transitions in the frequency domain, CH3 symmetric stretch (2875 cm(-1)) and CH3-Fermi resonance with bend overtone (2935 cm(-1)), and a coherent quantum beat in the time-domain at the difference frequency (approximately 540 fs period). At lower surface pressure, relative amplitudes change and additional transitions emerge (CH3 asymmetric stretch and CH2 modes), indicating changes in molecular orientation and onset of disorder. Information redundancy in the combined frequency- and time-domain data allows more accurate determination of the spectral parameters than purely frequency- or time-domain techniques.
