By condensing 2‐aminobenzothiazole with 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde, 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4‐methoxybenzaldehyde, 4‐hydroxybenzal‐dehyde, benzaldehyde and 4‐dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, and five Schiff bases Ia‐Ie are prepared. Also, two Schiff bases IIa and IIb are prepared by condensation of 2‐amino‐3‐hydroxypyridine with 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde and 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde. The ¹H NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectra of these seven Schiff bases are investigated. The signals of the ¹H NMR spectra as well as the important bands in the IR spectra are considered and discussed in relation to molecular structure. The UV/Vis absorption bands in ethanol are assigned to the corresponding electronic transitions and the electronic absorption spectra of Schiff bases Ib and IIb are studied in organic solvents of different polarities. The UV/Vis absorption spectra of 2‐amino‐3‐hydroxypyridine Schiff bases IIa and IIb are investigated in buffer solutions of different pH values containing 5% (v/v) methanol, and the results are utilized for the determination of pK_a and ΔG^* of the ionization of the phenolic OH‐groups. The fluorescence spectra of IIa and IIb are studied in organic solvents of different polarities. The obtained spectral results are confirmed by some molecular calculations using the atom super position and electron delocalization molecular orbital theory for the Schiff base IIb.

Solvatochromaticity and pH dependence of the electronic absorption spectra of some purines and pyrimidines and their metal complexes

The solvatochromic responses of uric acid (Ua), 6-amino-2-thiouracil (ATU) and a series of their complexes dissolved in ten solvents of different polarity have been measured. The solvent-dependent UV/Vis spectroscopic absorption maxima, λ(max), are assigned to the corresponding electronic transitions and analyzed using SPSS program, regression analysis and Kamlet and Taft methods. The observed solvatochromism is discussed using various solute-solvent interaction mechanisms. The electronic absorption spectra of ATU were investigated in aqueous buffer solutions of varying pH and utilized for the determination of dissociation constants. The ranges of pH, where individual ionic species are predominant have been determined.     

High Susceptibility of Histidine to Charge Solvation Revealed by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Histidine remained the last aromatic amino acid for which the intrinsic spectroscopic properties and structures were obscure. We measured the UV and IR spectra of protonated histidine, isolated in the gas phase, using photofragmentation cold ion spectroscopy. Unexpectedly, the UV absorption appears strongly redshifted relative to that of the cation in aqueous solutions. In investigating this phenomenon, we solved the geometries of all abundant conformers using IR conformer‐selective spectroscopy and ab initio quantum chemical calculations. In all of the structures, the proton resides on the imidazole ring. The measured UV spectra of protonated methylimidazole, histamine and histidine, together with calculations of the electronic spectra for the latter, suggest that, in comparison with other aromatic amino acids, such location of proton makes UV absorption of histidine highly sensitive to the local environment of its side chain.     

3Sigma- -X 3Sigma- electronic transition of linear C6H+ and C8H+ in neon matrixes

The electronic absorption spectra of linear C6H+ and C8H+ were recorded in 6 K neon matrixes following mass selective deposition. The (1) 3Sigma- -X 3Sigma- electronic transition is identified with the origin band at 515.8 and 628.4 nm for l-C6H+ and l-C8H+, respectively. One strong (near 267 nm) and several weaker electronic transitions of l-C8H+ have also been observed in the UV. The results of ab initio calculations carried out for linear and cyclic C6H+ are consistent with the assignment.     

Structural and spectroscopic characterization of 2,3-difluorobenzoic acid and 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid with experimental techniques and quantum chemical calculations

In this study, the molecular conformation, vibrational and electronic transition analysis of 2,3-difluorobenzoic acid and 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (C7H4F2O2) were presented using experimental techniques (FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV) and quantum chemical calculations. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra in solid state were recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 4000-5 cm(-1), respectively. The UV absorption spectra of the compounds that dissolved in ethanol were recorded in the range of 200-800 nm. The structural properties of the molecules in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and second order M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Optimized structure of compounds was interpreted and compared with the earlier reported experimental values. The scaled vibrational wavenumbers were compared with experimental results. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental data and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. A study on the electronic properties, such as absorption wavelength, excitation energy, dipole moment and frontier molecular orbital energy, were performed by time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. Based on the UV spectra and TD-DFT calculations, the electronic structure and the assignments of the absorption bands of steady compounds were discussed. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecules.     

UV spectroscopy of DNA duplex and quadruplex structures in the gas phase

UV absorption spectroscopy is one of the most widely used methods to monitor nucleic acid folding in solution, but the absorption readout is the weighted average contribution of all species present in solution. Mass spectrometry, on the other hand, is able to separate constituents of the solution based on their mass, but methods to probe the structure of each constituent are needed. Here, we explored whether gas-phase UV spectroscopy can give an indication of DNA folding in ions isolated by electrospray mass spectrometry. Model DNA single strands, duplexes, and G-quadruplexes were extracted from solution by electrospray; the anions were stored in a quadrupole ion trap and irradiated by a tunable laser to obtain the UV action spectra of each complex. We found that the duplex and quadruplex spectra are significantly different from the spectra of single strands, thereby suggesting that electronic spectroscopy can be used to probe the DNA gas-phase structure and obtain information about the intrinsic properties of high-order DNA structure.     

IR,Raman, and UV/Vis Spectra of Corannulene for Use in Possible Interstellar Identification

The spectroscopic characterization of corannulene (C₂₀H₁₀) is carried out by several techniques. The high purity of the material synthesized for this study was confirmed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). During a high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) process, the absorption spectrum of corannulene in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (vis) ranges is obtained. The infrared (IR) absorption spectrum is measured in CsI pellets, and the Raman scattering spectrum is recorded for pure crystal grains. In addition to room temperature measurements, absorption spectroscopy in an argon matrix at 12 K is also performed in the IR and UV/Vis ranges. The experimental spectra are compared with theoretical Raman and IR spectra and with calculated electronic transitions. All calculations are based on the density functional theory (DFT), either normal or time‐dependent (TDDFT). Our results are discussed in view of their possible application in the search for corannulene in the interstellar medium.     

Calculation of UV/VIS absorption spectra of liquid crystals and dye molecules An INDO MO approach

Abstract

The electronic transitions in the UV/VIS range of liquid crystals and stilbene dyes, which are of commercial and applicational interest, have been studied theoretically by a semi-empirical INDO (intermediate neglect of differential overlap) CI (configuration interaction) approach. Experimentally obtained polarized UV/VIS spectra of the systems investigated can be reproduced with reliable accuracy by the theoretical model. Measured and calculated π-π? transitions differ frequently by less than 30 nm. The main absorption bands are strongly polarized parallel to the principal molecular axis.

Herein, the experimental physicochemical and chiroptical properties of a series of phosphahelicenes are reported, focusing on their UV/Vis absorption, luminescence, electronic circular dichroism, optical rotations, and circularly polarized luminescence. Furthermore, detailed analysis of absorption and ECD spectra performed with the help of quantum-chemical calculations allowed us to highlight general features of these helicenic phosphines. Finally, due to well-suited electrochemical properties and thermal stability, the systems were successfully used as emitters in organic light-emitting diodes.

Electronic state and photosensitivity of metal alkoxides chemically modified with β-diketones

Electronic state and optical absorption spectra of metal alkoxides stabilized with β-diketones (with a variety of substituents) were calculated using first-principle molecular orbital methods. The characteristics of the optical absorption and the mechanism of the photodissociation of alkoxides with irradiation of light are discussed. The position of the first peak observed in the near UV region in the theoretical spectra corresponded to that observed in the experimental spectra with a 25 nm shift toward shorter wavelengths. The first absorption peak observed in the visible range originated from electronic transitions to molecular orbitals, including the antibonding components of the C–O bonding in the chelate ring. The results suggested that the bonding of the chelate rings should be important in controlling the photosensitivity of chemically modified titanium alkoxides.

紫外/可见光谱在有机光纤研制中的应用

有机光导纤维是近十几年来在新型光功能性高分子材料领域中的一支独秀.相对于玻璃光导纤维,有机光导纤维加工容易、口径大、轻而柔软、抗挠曲、抗冲击、耦合容易,更重要的因素是制作成本低和用途广泛.通常光导纤维是一种带包层的透明圆柱型的细丝.芯子的折射率高于包层并且是不变的,这种纤维称为突变型(SI)光纤.由于SI型光纤的带宽小,不能满足高信息量传输的需要,因而渐变型(GI)有机光纤得以发展.在这种光导纤维中,纤芯的折射率是呈抛物线型分布的,其轴心的折射率最大,折射率由纤维轴心沿径向到包层逐渐变小,在芯/包层界面处折射率无突变,光线在这种光纤的传播路径近似正弦波.沿正弦波处的折射率均小于轴心区的折射率.由于光速是反比于折射率的,因此当光沿着正弦途径传输时,其速度大于光沿着轴心传输的速度.于是,较长的光路被较大的光速所补偿,结果是光在正弦波处的传输时间与在轴心处的传输时间上没有大的区别,而脉冲加宽是正比于传输时间的差值,因此有望在GI型有机光纤中得到较小的脉冲加宽.GI型有机光纤的制备一般可在GI型有机预制棒的基础上通过熔融热拉技术拉制而成.因此,制备GI型有机预制棒及其折射率分布的检测成为关键步骤.折射率分布的测量方法有很多,如近场扫描法、折射近场法、切片干涉法等.本文首次介绍了将紫外/可见吸收光谱应用于预制棒折射率分布的定性测试上,得到了在预制棒芯区沿径向掺杂剂分子溴苯的吸收强度呈抛物线型分布.因测试折射率分布的其他方法较为繁杂以及受仪器的限制,所以利用紫外/可见吸收光谱这一非常普通的仪器来估计折射率分布的情况不失为一种简单易行的方法.
