Isomer-specific spectroscopy and conformational isomerization energetics of o-, m-, and p-ethynylstyrenes

The infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy of o-, m-, and p-ethynylstyrene isomers (oES, mES, and pES) were studied by a combination of methods, including resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization (R2PI), UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy (UVHB), resonant ion-dip infrared spectroscopy (RIDIRS), and rotationally resolved fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. In addition, the newly developed method of stimulated emission pumping-population transfer spectroscopy (SEP-PTS) was used to determine the energy threshold to conformational isomerization in m-ethynylstyrene. The S(1) <-- S(0) origin transitions of oES and pES occur at 32 369 and 33 407 cm(-1), respectively. In mES, the cis and trans conformations are calculated to be close in energy. In the R2PI spectrum of mES, the two most prominent peaks (32672 and 32926 cm(-1)) were confirmed by UVHB spectroscopy to be S(1) <-- S(0) origins of these two conformers. The red-shifted conformer was identified as the cis structure by least-squares fitting of the rotationally resolved fluorescence excitation spectrum of the origin band. There are also two possible conformations in oES, but transitions due to only one were observed experimentally, as confirmed by UVHB spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-31+G) predict that the cis-ortho conformer, in which the substituents point toward each other, is about 8 kJ/mol higher in energy than the trans-ortho isomer, and should only be about 5% of the room temperature population of oES. Ground-state infrared spectra in the C-H stretch region (3000-3300 cm(-1)) of each isomer were obtained with RIDIRS. In all three structural isomers, the acetylenic C-H stretch fundamental was split by Fermi resonance. Infrared spectra were also recorded in the excited electronic state, using a UV-IR-UV version of RIDIR spectroscopy. In all three isomers the acetylenic C-H stretch fundamental was unshifted from the ground state, but no Fermi resonance was seen. The first observed and last unobserved transitions in the SEP-PT spectrum were used to place lower and upper bounds on the barrier to cis --> trans isomerization in m-ethynylstyrene of 990-1070 cm(-1). Arguments are given for the lack of a kinetic shift in the measurement. The analogous trans --> cis barrier is in the same range (989-1065 cm(-1)), indicating that the relative energies of the zero-point levels of the two isomers are (E(ZPL)(cis) - E(ZPL)(trans))= -75 to +81 cm(-1). Both the barrier heights and relative energies of the minima are close to those determined by DFT (Becke3LYP/6-31+G) calculations.     

UV photolysis of α-cyclohexanedione in the gas phase

Ultraviolet absorption spectrum of α-cyclohexanedione (α-CHD) vapor in the wavelength range of 220-320 nm has been recorded in a 1 m long path gas cell at room temperature. With the aid of theoretical calculation, the band has been assigned to the S(2) ← S(0) transition of largely ππ* type. The absorption cross section at the band maximum (～258 nm) is nearly 3 orders of magnitude larger compared to that for the S(2) ← S(0) transition of a linear α-diketo prototype, 2,3-pentanedione. The photolysis was performed by exciting the sample vapor near this band maximum, using the 253.7 nm line of a mercury vapor lamp, and the products were analyzed by mass spectrometry as well as by infrared spectroscopy. The identified products are cyclopentanone, carbon monoxide, ketene, ethylene, and 4-pentenal. Geometry optimization at the CIS/6-311++G** level predicts that the carbonyl group is pyramidally distorted in the excited S(1) and S(2) states, but the α-CHD ring does not show dissociative character. Potential energy curves with respect to a ring rupture coordinate (C-C bond between two carbonyl groups) for S(0), S(1), S(2), T(1), T(2), and T(3) states have been generated by partially optimizing the ground state geometry at DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G** level and calculating the vertical transition energies to the excited states by TDDFT method. Our analysis reveals that the reactions can take place at higher vibrational levels of S(0) as well as T(1) states.     

Tautomers and electronic states of jet-cooled 2-aminopurine investigated by double resonance spectroscopy and theory

We present resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI), IR-UV, and UV-UV double resonance spectra of jet-cooled 2-aminopurine (2AP) as well as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) gas phase spectra. 2AP is a fluorescing isomer of the nucleobase adenine. The results show that there is only one tautomer of 2AP which absorbs in the wavelength range 32,300-34,500 cm(-1). The comparison with the calculated IR spectra of 9H- and 7H-2AP points to 9H-2AP as the dominating tautomer in the gas phase but the spectra are too similar to allow an unambiguous assignment to the respective tautomer. Hence, we determined vertical and adiabatic excitation energies of both tautomers employing combined density functional theory and multi-reference configuration interaction techniques. For the 0-0 band of the first 1pipi* transition of 9H-2AP we obtain a theoretical value of 32,328 cm(-1), in excellent agreement with the band origin of our R2PI spectrum at 32,371 cm(-1). The first singlet pipi* transition of the less stable 7H-2AP tautomer is predicted to be red-shifted by about 1700 cm(-1) with respect to the corresponding transition in 9H-2AP. From the absence of experimental bands in the energy region between 30,300 and 32,350 cm(-1) we conclude that 7H-2AP is not present to an appreciable extent in the molecular beam. Our calculations yield nearly equal energies for the 1npi* and 1pipi* minima of isolated 2AP, similar to the situation in adenine. The hitherto existing argument that the energetic order of states is responsible for the different spectroscopic properties of these isomers therefore does not hold. Rather, vibronic levels close to the origin of the 1pipi* transition cannot access the conical intersection between the 1pipi* and S(0) states along a puckering coordinate of the six-membered ring, in contrast to the situation in electronically excited 9H-adenine. As a consequence, a rich vibrational structure can be observed in the R2PI spectrum of 2AP whereas the spectrum of 9H-adenine breaks off at low energies.     

Is 2-cyclopropylpropene really gauche?

Infrared spectra of gaseous and solid 2-cyclopropylpropene (2-CPP, c-C3H5C (CH3)CH2) have been recorded from 3500 to 40 cm-1, and Raman spectra (3200-150 cm-1) of the liquid as well as mid-infrared spectra of 2-CPP in liquid krypton solution (from -105 to -150 degrees C) were also obtained. Ab initio calculations, with basis sets up to 6-311+G(2df, 2pd), were carried out for this molecule, using the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) approach, with full electron correlation by the perturbation method to second order (MP2(full)) and density functional theory (DFT) by the B3LYP method. The combination of the experimental and computational results (particularly with the higher basis sets) unequivocally identifies the more stable conformer of 2-CPP as the trans form, with the gauche rotamer higher in energy, but also stable. The cis structure of this compound is not observed experimentally, and is predicted by the computational approaches to be a transition state. By studying the temperature variation of two well-resolved sets of conformational doublets of 2-CPP dissolved in liquid krypton, an average enthalpy difference between conformers of 182+/-18 cm-1 (2.18+/-0.22 kJ mol-1) has been determined, with the trans conformation lower in energy in the fluid states, and the sole conformer present in the polycrystalline solid phase. This enthalpy difference corresponds to an ambient temperature conformational equilibrium in the fluid phases of 2-cyclopropylpropene containing approximately 55+/-2% of the more stable trans rotameric form. A complete vibrational assignment for the trans conformer of 2-CPP is given, and many of the bands of the gauche rotamer have also been assigned. Structural parameters, dipole moments, and rotational constants for this molecule have been calculated at the MP2(full)/6-311+G(d,p) level, and these results--as well as the results from the experimental studies--are compared to similar quantities in related compounds.

CF自由基5pπE2Пr(ν’=1)←X2П(ν’’=0)带的转动分析

The two-photon resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectrum between 285 and 288.5 nm of the 5pπE2Πr(v’=1)←X2Πr(v’’=0) band of CF radical is reported. The band is rotationally analyzed, and the spectroscopic constants of the state are first derived: σ0 = 69566.38±0.52 cm-1, A'v= 46.4±0.3 cm-1, B'v= 2.565±0.017 cm-1, D' v = (8.6±1.2)×10-6cm-1.     

One color resonant two photon ionization spectroscopy of p-methylstyrene and theoretical calculation

The band origin of the S1<--S0 transition of p-methylstyrene is determined to be 34,276 cm-1 by one color resonant two photon ionization (1C-R2PI) method, which is red shifted by 3811 cm-1 with respect to that of benzene. This indicates that the interaction of the methyl and vinyl groups with the ring in the S1 state is greater than that in the S0 state. The active vibrations assigned from the R2PI spectrum are found to be the in-plane ring modes. The bands at 399, 613, 724, and 786 cm-1 are assigned to the vibrations 9b, 6b, 12, and 1, respectively, and discussed in detail. The experimental results are well supported by ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.     

Computational thermochemistry of glycolaldehyde

We use a variant of the focal point analysis to refine estimates of the relative energies of the four low‐energy torsional conformers of glycolaldehyde. The most stable form is the cis‐cis structure which enjoys a degree of H‐bonding from hydroxyl H to carbonyl O; here dihedral angles τ₁ (O?C? C? O) and τ₂ (C? C? O? H) both are zero. We optimized structures in both CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVDZ and aug‐cc‐pVTZ; the structures agree within 0.01 Å for bond lengths and 1.0 degrees for valence angles, but the larger basis brings the rotational constants closer to experimental values. According to our extrapolation of CCSD(T) energies evaluated in basis sets ranging to aug‐cc‐pVQZ the trans‐trans form (180°, 180°) has a relative energy of 12.6 kJ/mol. The trans‐gauche conformer (160°, ±75°) is situated at 13.9 kJ/mol and the cis‐trans form (0°, 180°) at 18.9 kJ/mol. Values are corrected for zero point vibrational energy by MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ frequencies. Modeling the vibrational spectra is best accomplished by MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ with anharmonic corrections. We compute the Watsonian parameters that define the theoretical vibrational‐rotational spectra for the four stable conformers, to assist the search for these species in the interstellar medium. Six transition states are located by G4 and CBS‐QB3 methods as well as extrapolation using energies for structures optimized in CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVDZ structures. We use two isodesmic reactions with two well‐established thermochemical computational schemes G4 and CBS‐QB3 to estimate energy enthalpy and Gibbs energy of formation as well as the entropy of the gas phase system. Our extrapolated electronic energies of species appearing in the isodesmic reactions produce independent values of thermodynamic quantities consistent with G4 and CBS‐QB3. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Electronic spectroscopy and photoisomerization of trans-urocanic acid in a supersonic jet.

trans-Urocanic acid (trans-UA), a component of the epidermal layer of skin, exhibits wavelength-dependent photochemistry. The quantum efficiency of isomerization to cis-UA is greatest when the molecule is excited on the long wavelength tail of its absorption profile in solution (300-320 nm). However, exciting the molecule where it absorbs UV light most efficiently (260-285 nm) causes almost no isomerization. We have used fluorescence excitation and dispersed emission methods in a supersonic jet to investigate the electronic states involved in this complex and interesting photochemistry. Three distinct regions are present in the excitation spectrum. Region I, which is below the isomerization barrier, contains sharp, well-resolved peaks that upon excitation emit from the S(1) state of trans-UA. Region II exhibits peaks that increase in broadness and decrease in intensity with increasing excitation energy. Upon excitation these peaks produce dual emission from the S(1) states of both trans- and cis-UA. The trans to cis isomerization barrier is estimated to be 1400 cm(-1). Region III exhibits excitation to the S(2) electronic state and has a broad structure that spans 3000 cm(-1) and occurs 4000 cm(-1) above S(1). S(2) excitation results in essentially no trans to cis isomerization.
