高压液态重水的拉曼光谱研究

应用金刚石压腔结合拉曼光谱技术研究了重水在291 K,0.1～800 MPa条件下的拉曼谱图.结果表明:压力增大的过程中,重水的拉曼伸缩振动光谱向低频方向移动,并且频移和压力基本呈线性相关.频移没有突变,没有发生相的转变.将重水的拉曼谱峰分解为代表分子内O-D振动的高频峰和代表分子间氢键振动的低频峰.研究这两种不同类型谱峰的性质,发现代表分子间氢键的低频峰峰面积在不同的压力范围内呈现出不同的变化特征,压力对分子间氢键的影响并不是持续不变的.拉曼峰的峰面积反映的是产生这种拉曼峰的振动的数目,峰面积的变化反映了特征振动数目的变化.由于分子间氢键的强相互作用,水分子总是倾向于形成对称的空间五分子四面体结构,因此最大峰面积代表了最稳定的五分子团簇结构.

氢同位素分馏效应校正

同位素分馏效应是影响氢同位素丰度准确测定的主要因素。采用系统校正法和分子泵压缩比校正系数法可以较好地解决分馏效应对氢同位素丰度准确测定产生的影响。系统校正法是用标准样品的标称值对测量系统进行误差修正得到系统误差校正系数k，然后通过C校=kC样测，通过对标准样品的测量给出，校正系数k=C标／C标测，用系统校正法校正分析待测样品的丰度值，需要使用气体同位素标准，而分析不同丰度的氢同位素气体样品，需要使用相应丰度值的气体同位素标准。因此氢同位素标准气体的获取以及在储存过程中保持标称值不变是需要考虑的问题。

Stable isotope deltas: tiny, yet robust signatures in nature

Although most of them are relatively small, stable isotope deltas of naturally occurring substances are robust and enable workers in anthropology, atmospheric sciences, biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, food and drug authentication, forensic science, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology to study a variety of topics. Two fundamental processes explain the stable isotope deltas measured in most terrestrial systems: isotopic fractionation and isotope mixing. Isotopic fractionation is the result of equilibrium or kinetic physicochemical processes that fractionate isotopes because of small differences in physical or chemical properties of molecular species having different isotopes. It is shown that the mixing of radioactive and stable isotope end members can be modelled to provide information on many natural processes, including (14)C abundances in the modern atmosphere and the stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of the oceans during glacial and interglacial times. The calculation of mixing fractions using isotope balance equations with isotope deltas can be substantially in error when substances with high concentrations of heavy isotopes (e.g. (13)C, (2)H, and (18)O ) are mixed. In such cases, calculations using mole fractions are preferred as they produce accurate mixing fractions. Isotope deltas are dimensionless quantities. In the International System of Units (SI), these quantities have the unit 1 and the usual list of prefixes is not applicable. To overcome traditional limitations with expressing orders of magnitude differences in isotope deltas, we propose the term urey (symbol Ur), after Harold C. Urey, for the unit 1. In such a manner, an isotope delta value expressed traditionally as-25 per mil can be written as-25?mUr (or-2.5?cUr or-0.25?dUr; the use of any SI prefix is possible). Likewise, very small isotopic differences often expressed in per meg 'units' are easily included (e.g. either+0.015?‰ or+15 per meg can be written as+15?μUr.     

An Insight into the Helicase Functioning Through the Hydrogen Isotope Effects

The replacement of hydrogen atoms by deuterium in hydrogen bonds of base pairs AT and GC decreases the rate of unwinding DNA by more than 30% per each unzipped base pair. In active helicases this isotope effect refers to the ratio of the rate constants for unzipping closed base pairs in protiated and deuterated DNA. In passive helicases the effect is controlled by ratio of equilibrium constants for opening and closing base pairs in protiated and deuterated DNA. Hydrogen/deuterium isotope effects on the unwindening of double strand DNA seems to explain, at least partly, biological and pharmacological effects of heavy water on living organisms and may be used as a means to explore new facets of the helicase functioning.     

Nitrogen isotope fractionation factors (α) measured and estimated from the volatilisation of ammonia from water at pH 9.2 and pH 8.5

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the nitrogen isotope fractionation factors (α) associated with the volatilisation of ammonia from water under controlled conditions at two pH values (8.5 and 9.2). This experiment assumed the continuous removal of ammonia at a single purge rate of 10?mL air min^?1. The fractionation resulting from the removal of total ammonia from the water into an acid trap was named the observed isotope fractionation factor (α_obs), and it was measured as 1.019 (±0.0025) at pH 8.5 and 1.030 (±0.0025) at pH 9.2. The observed isotope fractionation factor includes the equilibrium isotope fractionation factor (α_eq) and the kinetic isotope fractionation factor (α_kin), each one mathematically derived from the experimental data. The equilibrium and kinetic isotope fractionation factors were estimated as α_eq?=?1.036 (±0.0014) and α_kin?=?1.050 (±0.003), respectively. Our results are compared to other previously measured and estimated fractionation factors.     

Hydrochemistry and boron isotopes as natural tracers in the study of groundwaters from North Chianan Plain,Taiwan

In this paper, hydrochemistry and boron isotopes are successfully applied to elucidate hydrogeological processes by the use of natural tracers. The hydrochemical analysis identifies four end-members in the hydrochemical evolution of groundwater from the North Chianan plain groundwater district. A few groundwater contain extraordinary chlorine concentrations of up to 48,000 mg l^?1. However, the hydrochemistry of groundwater only reveals that high saline water is a dominant factor in groundwater hydrochemistry. It is thought that these groundwater experienced precipitation of carbonates during seawater evaporation that did not involve the precipitation of gypsum. Boron isotopes are very efficient tracers in determining the source of salinisation. The boron isotopes reveal the results of mixing of evaporated seawater and water–sediment interaction. In general, the boron isotope ratio of the groundwater is controlled by a two-end-member mixing system, which is composed of evaporated seawater (isotopically heavy) and fresh surface water (isotopically light). Due to a long lagoonal period in the coastal plain, the groundwaters in the downstream area generally have high Cl/B ratios and relatively heavy boron isotope ratios while those in the upstream area are composed of low Cl/B and light boron isotopes. However, there is not a resolvable mixing trend between the Cl/B ratio and the isotopic composition of boron. It is probably obscured by a highly variable boron isotope ratio in fresh surface water and through fractionation associated with water–rock interaction. Both factors would decrease the boron isotope ratio but one effect cannot be distinguished from the other.     

Stable isotope deltas: tiny,yet robust signatures in nature

Although most of them are relatively small, stable isotope deltas of naturally occurring substances are robust and enable workers in anthropology, atmospheric sciences, biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, food and drug authentication, forensic science, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology to study a variety of topics. Two fundamental processes explain the stable isotope deltas measured in most terrestrial systems: isotopic fractionation and isotope mixing. Isotopic fractionation is the result of equilibrium or kinetic physicochemical processes that fractionate isotopes because of small differences in physical or chemical properties of molecular species having different isotopes. It is shown that the mixing of radioactive and stable isotope end members can be modelled to provide information on many natural processes, including ¹⁴C abundances in the modern atmosphere and the stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of the oceans during glacial and interglacial times. The calculation of mixing fractions using isotope balance equations with isotope deltas can be substantially in error when substances with high concentrations of heavy isotopes (e.g. ¹³C, ²H, and ¹⁸O ) are mixed. In such cases, calculations using mole fractions are preferred as they produce accurate mixing fractions. Isotope deltas are dimensionless quantities. In the International System of Units (SI), these quantities have the unit 1 and the usual list of prefixes is not applicable. To overcome traditional limitations with expressing orders of magnitude differences in isotope deltas, we propose the term urey (symbol Ur), after Harold C. Urey, for the unit 1. In such a manner, an isotope delta value expressed traditionally as?25 per mil can be written as?25 mUr (or?2.5 cUr or?0.25 dUr; the use of any SI prefix is possible). Likewise, very small isotopic differences often expressed in per meg ‘units’ are easily included (e.g. either+0.015 ‰ or+15 per meg can be written as+15 μUr.     

Ice–liquid isotope fractionation factors for 18O and 2H deduced from the isotopic correction constants for the triple point of water

The stable isotopes of water are extensively used as tracers in many fields of research. For this use, it is essential to know the isotope fractionation factors connected to various processes, the most important of which being phase changes. Many experimental studies have been performed on phase change fractionation over the last decades. Whereas liquid–vapour fractionation measurements are relatively straightforward, vapour–solid and liquid–solid fractionation measurements are more complicated, as maintaining equilibrium conditions when a solid is involved is difficult. In this work, we determine the ice–liquid isotope fractionation factors in an indirect way, by applying the Van’t Hoff equation. This equation describes the relationship of the fractionation factors with isotope-dependent temperature changes. We apply it to the recently experimentally determined isotope dependences of the triple point temperature of water [Faghihi V, Peruzzi A, Aerts-Bijma AT, et al. Accurate experimental determination of the isotope effects on the triple point temperature of water. I. Dependence on the ²H abundance. Metrologia. 2015;52:819–826; Faghihi V, Kozicki M, Aerts-Bijma AT, et al. Accurate experimental determination of the isotope effects on the triple point temperature of water. II. Combined dependence on the ¹⁸O and ¹⁷O abundances. Metrologia. 2015;52:827–834]. This results in new values for the ²H (deuterium) and ¹⁸O fractionation factors for the liquid–solid phase change of water, which agree well with existing, direct experimental data [Lehmann M, Siegenthaler U. Equilibrium oxygen- and hydrogen-isotope fractionation between ice and water. J Glaciol. 1991;37:23–26]. For ²H, the uncertainty is improved by a factor of 3, whereas for ¹⁸O the uncertainty is similar. Our final results are α_S–L (²H/¹H)?=?1.02093(13), and α_S–L (¹⁸O/¹⁶O)?=?1.002909(25), where the latter is the weighted average of the previous experimental study and this work.     

基于新型超低频拉曼光谱的液态水分子高温研究

液态水是地球上大多数生化过程的化学支柱,对生物的新陈代谢是必不可少的。因此,它是一个跨科学领域的关键课题。水的理化特性被认为是氢键衍生结构的结果。然而,目前还很难在实验上定量地将水分子的理化特性与氢键结构联系起来形成完整的液态水分子结构理论。拉曼光谱因其快速、无损等优点成为表征液态水分子结构及其变化规律的主要手段。目前,水分子的拉曼光谱主要研究的是其高频振动模。然而,液态水较宽的低频拉曼模是氢键及其局部结构效应的结果,包含高频峰无法表征的特征信息,而超低频拉曼特征峰仍能在高温下揭示水分子（超）结构的许多关键细节。因此,在实验上实现对水分子的新型高温超低频拉曼光谱（5～200 cm-1频率区域）,探测得到理论预测的全部四种平动特征模,包括弯曲模（51.7 cm-1）、扭转模（81.4 cm-1）、对称（154.0 cm-1）和不对称拉伸模（188.6 cm-1）,并在225.2 cm-1处额外发现了平动-旋转耦合特征模。所有特征模都被精确指认。高温超低频拉曼光谱实验发现,首先在特征峰频率上,由于高温下氢键断裂导致水分子间的平均结构关联长度（SLG）迅速缩短,当温度从0 ℃升高到400 ℃,所有四种超低频特征模的频率都随温度升高而大幅蓝移。其次在特征峰强度上,拉伸模的强度在100和200 ℃间出现明显降低。而弯曲模的强度随着拉伸模频率从高频率到低频率依次升高,这是理论研究从未涉及的。最后在斯托克斯/反斯托克斯比值（R_S/AS）上,温度在150～170 ℃时（压强约为2 kbar）,R_S/AS迅速从1.1增加到1.3;当温度高于170 ℃时,R_S/AS随温度线性变化。综上所述,通过对水分子各共振模的频率蓝移、强度变化,以及斯托克斯/反斯托克斯比值等特征进行细致研究,得到温度对水分子结构,尤其是氢键衍生特性的影响。该新型高温超低频拉曼光谱方法,填补了部分理论空白,为深入全面地理解水分子结构提供了重要的实验依据。
