Sub-Doppler rotationally resolved spectroscopy of lower vibronic bands of benzene with Zeeman effects

Sub-Doppler high-resolution excitation spectra and the Zeeman effects of the 6(0)(1), 1(0)(1)6(0)(1), and 1(0)(2)6(0)(1) bands of the S1(1)B2u<--S(0)(1)A1g transition of benzene were measured by crossing laser beam perpendicular to a collimated molecular beam. 1593 rotational lines of the 1(0) (1)6(0) (1) band and 928 lines of the 1(0)(2)6(0)(1) band were assigned, and the molecular constants of the excited states were determined. Energy shifts were observed for the S1(1)B2u(v1=1,v6=1,J,Kl=-11) levels, and those were identified as originating from a perpendicular Coriolis interaction. Many energy shifts were observed for the S1(1)B2u(v1=2,v6=1,J,Kl) levels. The Zeeman splitting of a given J level was observed to increase with K and reach the maximum at K=J, which demonstrates that the magnetic moment lies perpendicular to the molecular plane. The Zeeman splittings of the K=J levels were observed to increase linearly with J. From the analysis, the magnetic moment is shown to be originating mostly from mixing of the S1(1)B2u and S2(1)B1u states by the J-L coupling (electronic Coriolis interaction). The number of perturbations was observed to increase as the excess energy increases, and all the perturbing levels were found to be a singlet state from the Zeeman spectra.     

Doppler-free two-photon excitation spectroscopy and the Zeeman effects. Perturbations in the 14(0)1 and 1(0)(1)14(0)1 bands of the S1 <-- S0 transition of C6D6

Doppler-free two-photon excitation spectra and the Zeeman effects for the 1 band of the S1 1B2u <-- S0 1A1g transition in gaseous benzene-d6 were measured. Although the spectral lines were strongly perturbed, almost all of the lines near the band origin could be assigned. From a deperturbation analysis, the perturbation near the band origin was identified as originating from an anharmonic resonance interaction. Perturbation centered at K = 28-29 in the 14(0)1 band was analyzed, and it was identified as originating from a perpendicular Coriolis interaction. The symmetry and the assignment of the perturbing state proposed by Schubert et al. (Schubert, U.; Riedle, E.; Neusser, H. J. J. Chem. Phys. 1989, 90, 5994.) were confirmed. No perturbation originating from an interaction with a triplet state was observed in both bands. From the Zeeman spectra and the analysis, it is demonstrated that rotationally resolved levels are not mixed with a triplet state. The intersystem mixing is not likely to occur at levels of low excess energy in the S1 state of an isolated benzene. Nonradiative decay of an isolated benzene in the low vibronic levels of the S1 state will occur through the internal mixing followed by the rotational and vibrational relaxation in the S0 state.     

EPR parameters and defect structures for the Co2+ ions in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 crystals

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g factors g parallel, g perpendicular and hyperfine structure constants A parallel, A perpendicular) for Co2+ ions in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 crystals are calculated from the second-order perturbation formulas based on the cluster approach for 3d7 ions in trigonal octahedral clusters. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. From the calculations, the negative sign of A parallel for Co2+ in the two crystals and the more exact and rational values of A parallel for Co2+ in LiTaO3 are suggested. The defect structures (characterized by the Co2+ displacement DeltaZ along C3 axis and the O(2-) displacement DeltaX in an oxygen triangle towards the center of the triangle) for the Co2+ centers in both crystals are estimated. The results are discussed.     

Doppler-free two-photon excitation spectroscopy and the Zeeman effects of the S1 1B1u(v21=1) <-- S0 1Ag(v=0) band of naphthalene-d8

Doppler-free two-photon excitation spectrum and the Zeeman effect of the S1 1B1u(v21=1) <-- S0 1Ag(v=0) transition of naphthalene-d8 have been measured. 908 lines of Q(Ka)Q(J)KaKc transition of J=0-41, Ka=0-20 were assigned, and the molecular constants of the S1 1B1u(v21=1) state were determined. Perturbations were observed, and those were identified as originating from Coriolis interaction. No perturbation originating from an interaction with triplet state was observed. The Zeeman splittings from lines of a given J were observed to increase with Kc, and those of the Kc=J levels increased linearly with J. The Zeeman effects are shown to be originating from the magnetic moment of the S1 1B1u state, which is along the c axis and is induced by mixing of the S2 1B3u state to the S1 1B1u state by J-L coupling. Rotationally resolved levels were found not to be mixed with a triplet state from the Zeeman spectra. Accordingly, it is concluded that nonradiative decay of an isolated naphthalene excited to low rovibronic levels in the S1 1B1u state does not occur through the intersystem mixing. This is at variance with generally accepted understanding of the pathways of the nonradiative decay.     

Theoretical studies of the spin Hamiltonian parameters and the local structures for M2+ (M=Co, Mn, V and Ni) ions in CsMgCl3

The spin Hamiltonian parameters (zero-field splitting D, g factors g parallel, g perpendicular and hyperfine structure constants A parallel, A perpendicular) for M2+ (M=Co, Mn, V and Ni) ions in CsMgCl3 are studied by using the perturbation formulas of the spin Hamiltonian parameters for 3dn (n=7, 5, 3, 8) ions in trigonal symmetry based on the cluster approach. In these formulas, the contributions to the spin Hamiltonian parameters from the admixture of d orbitals of the central ions with the p orbitals of the ligands and from the trigonal distortion are included and the parameters related to these effects can be obtained from the optical spectra and the local structures of the studied systems. Based on the studies, it is found that the local trigonal distortion angle beta in the M2+ impurity center is unlike that betaH (approximately 51.71 degrees) in the host CsMgCl3. The spin Hamiltonian parameters for these divalent ions in CsMgCl3 are also satisfactorily explained by using the local angle beta. The validity of the results is discussed.     

Copper Fluoride Luminescence during UV Photofragmentation of Bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato)copper(II) in the Gas Phase

Gas phase 308 and 350-370 nm photolysis of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato)copper(II), Cu(hfac)(2), produces CuF as well as copper atoms and dimers. These metal-containing fragments, identified by luminescence spectroscopy, are studied under a variety of gas phase conditions ranging from 1 bar in a static chamber to 10(-4) mbar in a collision-free molecular beam. Copper atom and dimer luminescence is observed at the higher pressures, whereas at low pressures (total pressure no greater than the vapor pressure of the sample) exclusively CuF emission is observed. The a, A (omega = 0, 1, 2), B, and C excited states at 681.0, 567.6, and 505.1, and 491.7 nm are observed. The (3)Pi(0)(-) component of the A state is observed for the first time. The CuF luminescence obeys a quadratic power law with 308 nm excitation. The partitioning of excess energy into fragment degrees of freedom is determined from the intensities of the emission lines. The vibrational and rotational temperatures of the CuF fragment are in excess of 1700 K. Mechanisms of CuF formation, comparisons with the free ligand and with other volatile copper complexes, and the implications for laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition are discussed.     

Studies of the defect structures of the trigonal Cr3+-Vc centers in fluoroperovskites from EPR and optical spectra

The EPR parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors g(parallel), g(perpendicular)) and the first excited state splitting Delta(2E) of the trigonal Cr3+-Vc centers (Vc denotes the cation vacancy in a C3 axis) in Cr3+-doped fluoroperovskites KMgF3, KZnF3, CsCdF3, CsCaF3, RbCdF3 and BaLiF3 are studied from the high-order perturbation formulas. From the studies, the defect structures (characterized by the vacancy-induced displacements Delta x1 of Cr3+ ion and Delta x2 of the three F- ion between Cr3+ and Vc) of these trigonal Cr3+-Vc centers are determined. It is found that the signs of displacements Delta x1 and Delta x2 are consistent with the expectations based on the electrostatic interactions, and the magnitudes of Delta x1 and Delta x2 for Cr3+ in the inverse perovskite BaLiF3 are larger than those for Cr3+ in the classical perovskites. The results are discussed.     

Structurally distinct active sites in the copper(II)-substituted aminopeptidases from Aeromonas proteolytica and Escherichia coli

The aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) was titrated with copper, which bound sequentially at two distinct sites. Both the mono- and disubstituted forms of AAP exhibited catalytic hyperactivity relative to the native dizinc enzyme. Monosubstituted AAP exhibited an axial Cu(II) EPR spectrum with slight pH dependence: at pH 6.0 g(parallel) = 2.249, g( perpendicular ) = 2.055, and A(parallel)((63/65)Cu) = 1.77 x 10(-)(2) cm(-)(1), whereas at pH 9.65 g(parallel) = 2.245, g( perpendicular ) = 2.056, and A(parallel)((63/65)Cu) = 1.77 x 10(-)(2) cm(-)(1). These data indicate oxygen and nitrogen ligation of Cu. AAP further substituted with copper exhibited a complex signal with features around g approximately 2 and 4. The features at g approximately 4 were relatively weak in the B(0) perpendicular B(1) (perpendicular) mode EPR spectrum but were intense in the B(0) parallel B(1) (parallel) mode spectrum. The g approximately 2 region of the perpendicular mode spectrum exhibited two components, one corresponding to mononuclear Cu(II) with g(parallel) = 2.218, g( perpendicular ) = 2.023, and A(parallel)((63/65)Cu) = 1.55 x 10(-)(2) cm(-)(1) and likely due to adventitious binding of Cu(II) to a site distant from the active site. Excellent simulations were obtained for the second component of the spectrum assuming that two Cu(II) ions experience dipolar coupling corresponding to an inter-copper distance of 5 A with the two Cu(II) g(z)() directions parallel to each other and at an angle of approximately 17 degrees to the inter-copper vector (H = betaB.g(CuA).S(CuA) + betaB.g(CuB).S(CuB) + [S.A.I](CuA) + [S.A.I](CuB) + [S(CuA).J.S(CuB)]; g(parallel(CuA,CuB)) = 2.218, g( perpendicular )((CuA,CuB)) = 2.060; A(parallel(CuA,CuB))((63/65)Cu) = 1.59 x 10(-)(2) cm(-)(1), J(isotropic) = 50 cm(-)(1), r(Cu)(-)(Cu) = 4.93 A, and chi = 17 degrees ). The exchange coupling between the two copper ions was found to be ferromagnetic as the signals exhibited Curie law temperature dependence. The Cu-Cu distance of approximately 5 A indicated by EPR was significantly higher than the inter-zinc distance of 3.5 A in the native enzyme, and the dicopper species therefore represents a novel dinuclear site capable of catalysis of hydrolysis. In contrast to AAP, the related methionyl aminopeptidase from Escherichia coli (EcMetAP) was found to bind only one Cu(II) ion despite possessing a dinuclear binding site motif. A further difference was the marked pH dependence of the signal in EcMetAP, suggestive of a change in ligation. The structural motifs of these two Cu(II)-substituted aminopeptidases provide important insight into the observed catalytic activity.     

Ab initio configuration interaction study of the B- and C-band photodissociation of methyl iodide

Multireference spin-orbit configuration interaction calculations have been carried out for the valence and low-lying Rydberg states of CH(3)I. Potential energy surfaces along the C-I dissociation coordinate (minimal energy paths with respect to the umbrella angle) have been obtained as well as transition moments for excitation of the Rydberg states. It is shown that the B and C absorption bands of CH(3)I are dominated by the perpendicular (3)R(1),(1)R?(E)←X??A(1) transitions, while the (3)R(2)(E),?(3)R(0(+) )(A(1))←X??A(1) transitions are very weak. It is demonstrated that the bound Rydberg states of the B and C bands are predissociated due to the interaction with the repulsive E and A(2) components of the (3)A(1) state, with the (3)A(1)(E) state being the main decay channel. It is predicted that the only possibility to obtain the I((2)P(3/2)) ground state atoms from the CH(3)I photodissociation in the B band is by interaction of the (3)R(1)(E) state with the repulsive (1)Q(E) valence state at excitation energies above 55,000 cm(-1). The calculated ab initio data are used to analyze the influence of the Rydberg state vibrational excitation on the decay process. It is shown that, in contrast to intuition, excitation of the ν(3) C-I stretching mode supresses the predissociation, whereas the ν(6) rocking vibration enhances the predissociation rate.     

Growth and Crystal Structure of YbAl3（BO3）4

1 INTRODUCTION With the development of high power InGaAs laser diode (LD) as pump sources, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have received much attention. Due to the simple energy level structure of the Yb3+ ions, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have no concentration quenching, and have high quantum efficiency and low quantum defects even at high doping concentration of the Yb3+ ions[1, 2]. Therefore, the Yb3+-doped crystals are good candidates of media in the LD-pumped solid-state laser,…     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Fluorescent and Thermal Properties of Sodium Tridecafluorodizirconate Na5Zr2F13 Compound

1 INTRODUCTION Considerable research effort on the heavy metal fluoride glasses like barium, zirconium fluoride and a series of rare-earth fluorozirconate compounds du- ring the last two decades was initiated by the broad optical transmission window of these glasses and thereby the potential for ultralow-loss optical fi- bers[1~10]. The fluorozirconate of alkali metals was first reported in 1938[11], and most of the sodium and potassium fluorozirconates were reported amongthe 1940s and 19…     

Synthesis of monohalogeno derivatives of closo-[B9H9]2-. Crystal structures of (Ph4P)2[1-XB9H8].CH3CN (X = Cl, Br, I)

By reaction of Na2[B9H9] with the appropriate N-halogenosuccinimide, the monohalogenated anion [1-XB9H8]2- (X = Cl, Br, or I) is formed. The X-ray diffraction analyses performed on single crystals of (Ph4P)2[1-XB9H8].CH3CN (X = Cl, Br, I) reveal that the tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry of the cluster is retained after substitution in the 1-position. Crystallographic data are as follows for (Ph4P)2[1-XB9H8].CH3CN. X = Cl, Br: monoclinic, space group P2(1), a = 10.7 A, b = 32.9 A, c = 13.8 A, beta = 96 degrees, Z = 4, R1 = 0.038 and R1 = 0.036, respectively. X = I: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 10.5 A, b = 13.6 A, c = 33.4 A, beta = 94 degrees, Z = 4, R1 = 0.094. The compounds have been characterized by vibrational and 11B NMR spectroscopy as well.     

Highly fluorescent group 13 metal complexes with cyclic, aromatic hydroxamic acid ligands

The neutral complexes of two ligands based on the 1-oxo-2-hydroxy-isoquinoline motif with group 13 metals (Al, Ga, In) show bright blue-violet luminescence in organic solvents. The corresponding transition can be attributed to ligand-centered singlet emission, characterized by a small Stokes shifts of only a few nanometers combined with lifetimes in the range between 1 and 3 ns. The fluorescence efficiency is high, with quantum yields of up to 37% in benzene solution. The crystal structure of one of the indium(III) complexes (trigonal space group R3, a = b = 13.0384(15) A, c = 32.870(8) A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees , gamma = 120 degrees , V = 4839.3(14) A (3), Z = 6) shows a six-coordinate geometry around the indium center, which is close to trigonal-prismatic, with a twist angle between the two trigonal faces of 20.7 degrees . Time-dependent density functional theory calculations (Al and Ga, B3LYP/6-31G(d); In, B3LYP/LANL2DZ) of the fac and mer isomers with one of the two ligands indicate that there is no clear preference for either one of the isomeric forms of the metal complexes. In addition, the metal centers do not have a significant influence on the electronic structure nor, as a consequence, on the predominant intraligand optical transitions.     

Structure and Properties of a New Rare-earth Borate LiSrY_2（BO_3）_3

The structure of LiSrY2(BO3)3 has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 298 and 113 K on different diffractometers.It crystallizes in trigonal with space group P-3m1(No.164).The cell parameters at room temperature are as follows:a = 10.3345(9),c = 6.4049(11) ,V = 592.41(13) 3,Z = 3,Mr = 448.81,F(000) = 618,μ = 21.327 mm-1 and Dc = 3.774 g/cm3.The crystal structure consists of gear-like [BY6O33] groups which are linked together by corner-sharing to form a two-dimensional layer parallel to the ab plane.These layers are connected one after another by sharing oxygen atoms with B(2) atoms along the c direction to construct a three-dimensional framework.Li and Sr atoms just occupy the cavities formed by oxygen atoms.In addition,the vibrational spectroscopy of LiSrY2(BO3)3 and photoluminescence properties of the Eu3+ doped LiSrY2(BO3)3 were also studied.     

The Jahn-Teller effect in the lower electronic states of benzene cation. III. The ground-state vibrations of C6H6+ and C6D6+

New mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectra of the molecules C(6)H(6) (+) and C(6)D(6) (+) have been collected using tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) single photon excitation from the neutral ground state and also using two-photon excitation through the 6(1) vibration of the (1)B(2u) S(1) state. Emphasis was placed on obtaining accurate relative intensities of the vibrational lines in order to use this information in the vibronic analysis. The MATI spectra collected from VUV (S(0) originating state), triplet (T(1)), and resonant two photon (S(1)) excitation schemes were compared with Jahn-Teller calculations employing the classical model of Longuet-Higgins and Moffitt to obtain the Jahn-Teller coupling parameters of 3 of the 4 linearly active modes (e(2g) modes 6-9 in Wilson's notation). Franck-Condon factors, including the effects of geometry changes, were calculated from the vibronic wave functions and used to identify the lines in the various spectra. It is found that most of the lines with substantial intensity can be understood using only the modes 1, 6, 8, and 9. Weaker peaks are due to various non-e(2g) modes, but these do not derive intensity through Jahn-Teller coupling. When the effects of geometry change were included, simulations of the spectra from the calculated vibrational energies and intensities were close to the experimental spectra. This verifies the applicability of the model to the understanding of the vibrational structure of this type of molecule, but some variations indicate directions for further improvement of the model.

Cis-trans isomerization in the S1 state of acetylene: identification of cis-well vibrational levels

A systematic analysis of the S(1)-trans (A?(1)A(u)) state of acetylene, using IR-UV double resonance along with one-photon fluorescence excitation spectra, has allowed assignment of at least part of every single vibrational state or polyad up to a vibrational energy of 4200 cm(-1). Four observed vibrational levels remain unassigned, for which no place can be found in the level structure of the trans-well. The most prominent of these lies at 46?175 cm(-1). Its (13)C isotope shift, exceptionally long radiative lifetime, unexpected rotational selection rules, and lack of significant Zeeman effect, combined with the fact that no other singlet electronic states are expected at this energy, indicate that it is a vibrational level of the S(1)-cis isomer (A?(1)A(2)). Guided by ab initio calculations [J. H. Baraban, A. R. Beck, A. H. Steeves, J. F. Stanton, and R. W. Field, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 244311 (2011)] of the cis-well vibrational frequencies, the vibrational assignments of these four levels can be established from their vibrational symmetries together with the (13)C isotope shift of the 46?175 cm(-1) level (assigned here as cis-3(1)6(1)). The S(1)-cis zero-point level is deduced to lie near 44?900 cm(-1), and the ν(6) vibrational frequency of the S(1)-cis well is found to be roughly 565 cm(-1); these values are in remarkably good agreement with the results of recent ab initio calculations. The 46?175 cm(-1) vibrational level is found to have a 3.9 cm(-1) staggering of its K-rotational structure as a result of quantum mechanical tunneling through the isomerization barrier. Such tunneling does not give rise to ammonia-type inversion doubling, because the cis and trans isomers are not equivalent; instead the odd-K rotational levels of a given vibrational level are systematically shifted relative to the even-K rotational levels, leading to a staggering of the K-structure. These various observations represent the first definite assignment of an isomer of acetylene that was previously thought to be unobservable, as well as the first high resolution spectroscopic results describing cis-trans isomerization.     

Investigations of EPR parameters and local lattice distortions for both Co2+ centers in La2Mg3(NO3)12.24H2O crystal

The EPR g factors, g parallel and g perpendicular, of Co2+ and hyperfine structure constants (A parallel, A perpendicular) of 59Co2+ and 60Co2+ isotopes in both trigonal Mg2+ sites of La2Mg3(NO3)12.24H2O crystal are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas of EPR parameters based on the cluster approach for 3d7 ion. It is found that to explain reasonably all these EPR parameters, the local relaxation effects (particularly, those related to the trigonal distortion angles thetai) in the vicinity of both Co2+ impurities should be considered. The local angles thetai are obtained from the calculations and the results are discussed.     

Proof of large positive zero-field splitting in a Ru2 5+ paddlewheel

We present the synthesis, as well as the structural and magnetic characterization, of [Ru2(D(3,5-Cl2Ph)F)4Cl(0.5H2O)].C6H14 (D(3,5-Cl2Ph)F = N,N'-di(3,5-dichlorophenyl)formamidinate), a Ru2(5+) compound having a 4B(2u) ground state derived from a sigma2pi4delta2pi2delta electron configuration. The persistence of this configuration from 27 to 300 K is shown by the invariance of the Ru-Ru distance. Orientation-dependent magnetic susceptibility (chiT) and magnetization (M(H)) data are in accord with a spin quartet ground state with large magnetocrystalline anisotropy associated with a large axial zero-field splitting (D) parameter. Theoretical fits to chiT and M(H) plots yielded D/kB = +114 K, implying an S = +/-1/2 Kramers doublet ground state at low temperature. Single-crystal and powder EPR data are consistent with this result, as the only observed transition is between the M(s) = +/1/2 Zeeman levels. The g values are g(perpendicular) = 2.182, g(parallel) = 1.970, and D = 79.8 cm(-1). The totality of the results demands D > 0.     

Molecular spectroscopy of uranium(IV) bis(ketimido) complexes. rare observation of resonance-enhanced raman scattering from organoactinide complexes and evidence for broken-symmetry excited states

Electronic absorption and resonance-enhanced Raman spectra for ketimido (azavinylidene) complexes of tetravalent uranium, (C(5)Me(5))(2)U[-N=C(Ph)(R)](2) (R = Ph, Me, and CH(2)Ph), have been recorded. The absorption spectra exhibit four broad bands between 13 000 and 24 000 cm(-1). The highest-energy band is assigned to the ketimido-localized p( perpendicular)(N)-->pi(N=C) transition based on comparison to the spectra of (C(5)H(5))(2)Zr[-N=CPh(2)](2) and (C(5)Me(5))(2)Th[-N=CPh(2)](2). Upon excitation into any of these four absorption bands, the (C(5)Me(5))(2)U[-N=C(Ph)(R)](2) complexes exhibit resonance enhancement for several Raman bands attributable to vibrations of the ketimido ligands. Raman bands for both the symmetric and nominally asymmetric N=C stretching bands are resonantly enhanced upon excitation into the p( perpendicular)(N)-->pi(N=C) absorption bands, indicating that the excited state is localized on a single ketimido ligand. Raman excitation profiles for (C(5)Me(5))(2)U[-N=CPh(2)](2) confirm that at least one of the lower-energy electronic absorption bands (E(max) approximately 16300 cm(-1)) is a charge-transfer transition between the U(IV) center and the ketimido ligand(s). The observations of both charge-transfer transitions and resonance enhancement of Raman vibrational bands are exceedingly rare for tetravalent actinide complexes and reflect the strong bonding interactions between the uranium 5f/6d orbitals and those on the ketimido ligands.
