超快二维红外光谱用于研究单体水分子中的直接振动能量传递

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.     

pH刺激响应水凝胶微观结构动力学的超快红外光谱研究

本文合成了甲基丙烯酸二甲氨基乙酯/丙烯酸共聚水凝胶，并在不同pH条件下表征其宏观溶胀行为. 以硫氰酸根阴离子作为局部红外探针，结合傅里叶变换红外光谱和超快红外光谱学研究了pH刺激响应水凝胶的微观结构动力学. 超快红外光谱数据表明，当水凝胶体系的pH从2.0变为12.0时，硫氰酸根探针的振动弛豫时间常数从(14±1) ps增加到(20±1) ps. 转动各向异性测量结果进一步表明，硫氰酸根探针的转动受到水凝胶中形成的三维网络结构的限制. 尤其是在pH为7.0时，SCN探针的旋转不会衰减到零.
