p-π共轭分子的氨基面外弯曲振动模的拉曼光谱

拉曼光谱是一种用途广泛的无损分子检测技术,其能够提供化学物质的分子结构指纹信息.一种面外弯曲振动模被称作wagging振动,它的信号尤为特殊,其频率和强度都非常依赖于检测环境.以乙烯胺和苯胺为例,采用密度泛函理论计算研究了p-π共轭分子分别与水簇和银簇作用的平衡结构、成键作用和拉曼光谱.结果表明,弱相互作用,如分子与金属表面的弱吸附作用以及分子与水之间的氢键作用,均使氨基面外弯曲振动模(ωNH2)的拉曼信号发生显著的变化.考虑溶剂化效应后,氢键作用减弱,计算拉曼光谱趋于一致.通过进一步对电子结构的分析,解释了面外弯曲振动信号显著增强的原因,揭示了面外弯曲振动模与分子p-π共轭作用之间的关系.

Ultrafast vibrational dynamics of interfacial water

We report investigations of the vibrational dynamics of water molecules at the water–air and at the water–lipid interface. Following vibrational excitation with an intense femtosecond infrared pulse resonant with the O–H stretch vibration of water, we follow the subsequent relaxation processes using the surface-specific spectroscopic technique of sum frequency generation. This allows us to selectively follow the vibrational relaxation of the approximately one monolayer of water molecules at the interface. Although the surface vibrational spectra of water at the interface with air and lipids are very similar, we find dramatic variations in both the rates and mechanisms of vibrational relaxation. For water at the water–air interface, very rapid exchange of vibrational energy occurs with water molecules in the bulk, and this intermolecular energy transfer process dominates the response. For membrane-bound water at the lipid interface, intermolecular energy transfer is suppressed, and intramolecular relaxation dominates. The difference in relaxation mechanism can be understood from differences in the local environments experienced by the interfacial water molecules in the two different systems.     

A femtosecond fluorescence study of vibrational relaxation and cooling dynamics of UV dyes

We present a femtosecond broad-band fluorescence up-conversion study of the vibrational relaxation dynamics of two UV chromophores, 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) and para-terphenyl (pTP), pumped with a large excess of vibrational energy (>2000 cm(-1)). The band narrowing of the transient fluorescence spectrum reflects a biphasic cooling process in a few hundreds of fs and a few ps. In the sub-ps regime, our data suggest a structural rearrangement in the excited state, followed by thermalization of the excess energy. These dynamics affect the fluorescence spectra of PPO and pTP in different ways. In PPO, the damping of a low frequency vibrational wavepacket and a significant sub-ps narrowing of the band characterize the vibrational relaxation. In pTP, the latter is faster and appears as a red shift with distortion of the band in <200 fs.

A compact model system for electron–phonon calculations in discotic materials

Electron–phonon coupling underlies the unwanted rapid relaxation of electrically excited states in potential organic solar-cell materials. A compact model for the vibrational dynamics of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakishexyloxytriphenylene (HAT6) is derived from the combined use of inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. Because this model reproduces the essential features of the vibrational dynamics and electronic structure on the aromatic core of HAT6 it can be used as a basis for future calculations of the relaxation mechanisms of the electronically excited states.     

A first principles simulation study of fluctuations of hydrogen bonds and vibrational frequencies of water at liquid-vapor interface

We present a theoretical study of the structure and dynamics of water-vapor interface by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The inhomogeneous density, hydrogen bond and orientational profiles, voids and vibrational frequency distributions are investigated. We have also studied various dynamical properties of the interface such as diffusion, orientational relaxation, hydrogen bond dynamics and vibrational frequency fluctuations. The diffusion and orientational relaxation of water molecules are found to be faster at the interface which can be correlated with the voids present in the system. The hydrogen bond dynamics, however, is found to be slightly slower at the interface than that in bulk water. The correlations of hydrogen bond relaxation with the dynamics of vibrational frequency fluctuations are also discussed.     

Direct Vibrational Energy Transfer in Monomeric Water Probed with Ultrafast Two Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy

Vibrational relaxation dynamics of monomeric water molecule dissolved in d-chloroform solution were revisited using the two dimensional Infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy. The vibrational lifetime of OH bending in monomeric water shows a bi-exponential decay. The fast component (T₁=(1.2±0.1) ps) is caused by the rapid population equilibration between the vibrational modes of the monomeric water molecule. The slow component (T₂=(26.4±0.2) ps) is mainly caused by the vibrational population decay of OH bending mode. The reorientation of the OH bending in monomeric water is determined with a time constant of τ=(1.2±0.1) ps which is much faster than the rotational dynamics of water molecules in the bulk solution. Furthermore, we are able to reveal the direct vibrational energy transfer from OH stretching to OH bending in monomeric water dissolved in d-chloroform for the first time. The vibrational coupling and relative orientation of transition dipole moment between OH bending and stretching that effect their intra-molecular vibrational energy transfer rates are discussed in detail.
