A Journey from Thermally Tunable Synthesis to Spectroscopy of Phenylmethanimine in Gas Phase and Solution

Phenylmethanimine is an aromatic imine with a twofold relevance in chemistry: organic synthesis and astrochemistry. To tackle both aspects, a multidisciplinary strategy has been exploited and a new, easily accessible synthetic approach to generate stable imine-intermediates in the gas phase and in solution has been introduced. The combination of this formation pathway, based on the thermal decomposition of hydrobenzamide, with a state-of-the-art computational characterization of phenylmethanimine laid the foundation for its first laboratory observation by means of rotational electric resonance spectroscopy. Both E and Z isomers have been accurately characterized, thus providing a reliable basis to guide future astronomical observations. A further characterization has been carried out by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, showing the feasibility of this synthetic approach in solution. The temperature dependence as well as possible mechanisms of the thermolysis process have been examined.     

The Scent of Maibowle – π Electron Localization in Coumarin from Its Microwave-Determined Structure

The microwave spectra of the natural substance coumarin, a planar aromatic molecule with the specific scent of maibowle, a popular fruit punch served in spring and early summer, were recorded using a molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer working in the frequency range from 4.0 to 26.5 GHz. The rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants were determined with high precision, reproducing the spectra to experimental accuracy. The spectra of all singly-substituted ¹³C and ¹⁸O isotopologues were observed in their natural abundances to determine the experimental heavy atom substitution r_s and semi-experimental equilibrium r_e^SE structures. The experimental bond lengths and bond angles were compared to those obtained from quantum chemical calculations and those of related molecules reported in the literature with benzene as the prototype. The alternation of the C−C bond lengths to the value of 1.39 Å found for benzene reflects the localization of π electrons in coumarin, where the benzene ring and the lactone-like chain −CH=CH−(C=O)−O− are fused. The large, negative inertial defect of coumarin is consistent with out-of-plane vibrations of the fused rings.     

Experimental line broadening and line shift coefficients of the acetylene ν1 + ν3 band pressurized by hydrogen and deuterium and comparison with calculations

Theoretical and experimental values have been determined for the pressure broadening of the ν₁ + ν₃ band of acetylene by hydrogen and deuterium at 195 K, and experimental values of the pressure shifts have been determined. Theoretical values have been calculated on the basis of a recent potential energy surface using the close coupling scheme. We discuss the detailed contribution of the various rotational angular momenta of the perturbing gas and the ortho and para contribution to the total pressure broadening cross-sections. We give routes to circumvent the computational cost of such calculations. Experimental values have been measured using a tunable diode laser spectrometer assuming a Voigt line shape. These pressure broadening parameters are compared with measurements performed recently at room temperature and with present measurements performed at 195 K in the ν₁ + ν₃ band of acetylene. A satisfactory agreement is obtained with the present results and available ones at 295 K.
