Comments on the threshold excitation spectrum of carbon monoxide by electron impact

The SF^?₆ threshold electron impact excitation spectrum of CO, in the 10 eV region, recorded with an improved resolution, confirms previous results obtained at lower resolution with the help of a deconvolution procedure.     

DFT studies of the structure and vibrational spectra of 8-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide

The geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide (8-HQNO) and its deuterated derivative (8-DQNO) were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) with the BLYP and B3LYP functionals and 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The optimized bond lengths and bond angles are in good agreement with the X-ray data. The IR and INS spectra of 8-HQNO and 8-DQNO computed at the DFT level reproduce the vibrational wavenumbers and intensities with an accuracy, which allows reliable vibrational assignments.     

The 1H NMR spectra of quinoline,quinoline N-oxide,the quinolinium ion and of their monomethyl derivatives

¹H chemical shifts of quinoline, quinoline N-oxide and the quinolinium ion were obtained by complete analysis of their NMR spectra and interpreted critically in an attempt to quantify the possible different effects acting on the shielding constant of protons in these systems. Semi-empirical SCF calculations of electron charge densities and ring current contributions were also performed. It was found that the same effects that act on the shielding of protons directly bonded to the heterocyclic system also act, in an attenuated form, on the proton chemical shift of methyl groups in monomethyl derivatives. Vicinal coupling constants were rationalised in terms of π-electron bond order and electro-negativity of neighbouring atoms.     

Dissociative excitation and fragmentation of S8 by electron impact

The vacuum-ultraviolet emission spectrum from 136 nm to 168 nm following the dissociative excitation of a predominantly S(8) target by electron impact at 100 eV incident energy was measured. The relative cross sections for the dominant multiplets at 138.9, 142.9, 147.9, and 166.7 nm are presented. Excitation functions are shown for electron-impact energies from below threshold to 360 eV for the two most prominent emissions at 142.5 nm and 147.4 nm. Five thresholds are clearly apparent in both excitation functions. For the four highest energy channels, the energy separation between the adjacent thresholds is approximately constant and the cross sections reduce regularly as the threshold energies increase. We suggest possible fragmentation pathways of the dissociating S(8) molecule that reproduce the energies of our observed thresholds.     

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of the lithium salts of 8-hydroxyquinoline and 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline

The spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of [(q)(qH)Li]x (qH=8-hydroxyquinolinato) and [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x (MeQH=2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato) have been investigated. In both acetonitrile and aqueous solutions, [(q)(qH)Li]x and [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x have absorption maxima at 320 and 309 nm, respectively. When excited at these wavelengths, the complexes emit around 500 nm (blue-green) in acetonitrile. Photoluminescence efficiencies (phiem) were 0.036 for [(q)(qH)Li]x and 0.012 for [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x when compared to Ru(bpy)3(2+) (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) with phiem=0.042. No photoluminescence was observed in aqueous media. The complexes show irreversible oxidative electrochemistry and quasi-reversible reductions in acetonitrile. ECL efficiencies (phiecl) were 0.097 for [(q)(qH)Li]x and 0.080 for [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x when compared to Ru(bpy)(3)2+ (phiecl=1) in aqueous buffered solution and 0.035 for [(q)(qH)Li]x and 0.028 for [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x in acetonitrile (0.05 M tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) as an oxidative-reductive ECL co-reactant). The ECL peaks at a potential corresponding to oxidation of both the TPrA and [(q)(qH)Li]x or [(Meq)(MeqH)Li]x. Also, qualitative studies using transmission filters suggest that both complexes emit ECL in approximately the same blue-green region as their photoluminescence, indicating that the same excited state is formed in both experiments.     

Cross sections for electron impact excitation of the vibrationally resolved A 1Pi electronic state of carbon monoxide

The authors report new differential cross section measurements for electron impact excitation of the A (1)Pi(v(')) states of carbon monoxide. The energy range is 20-200 eV. They also reanalyze the A (1)Pi(v(')) manifold cross sections of Middleton et al. [J. Phys. B 26, 1743 (1993)] in order to provide a basis for comparison with our new vibrationally resolved differential cross sections. Excellent agreement is found between the two sets of measurements at all common energies. From 20 to 200 eV the present differential cross sections are extrapolated and integrated, and the corresponding integral excitation cross sections determined. New scaled Born integral cross sections, calculated as a part of the present study, are compared against these experimental integral cross sections, with excellent agreement being found for all the A (1)Pi(v(')=0-7)<--X (1)Sigma(g) (+)(v(")=0) transitions. In addition our scaled Born integral cross sections are found to be in excellent agreement between 300 and 1500 eV with those derived from the previous experiments of Lassettre and Skerbele [J. Chem. Phys. 54, 1597 (1971)] and of Zhong et al. [Phys. Rev. A 55, 1799 (1997)] and from near threshold to 15 eV with those derived from Zobel et al. [J. Phys. B 29, 813 (1996)] and Zetner et al. (J. Phys. B 31, 2395 (1998)].     

The chemisorption of carbon monoxide on Ni(110) studied by electron energy loss spectroscopy

The vibrational spectrum of carbon monoxide chemisorbed on Ni(110) at 300K has been recorded as a function of surface coverage. At low and intermediate coverage the adsorbate is bonded either to single nickel atoms (linear site) or to two nickel atoms in contact (B₂ site). As the coverage approaches unity the spectrum changes rapidly until at saturation virtually all adsorbed molecules are of B₂ type.     

Substoichiometric determination of lanthanum by using EDTA and 8-hydroxyquinoline

The substoichiometric separation of lanthanum was studied on the system EDTA —lanthanum—8-hydroxyquinoline. The optimum conditions for the substoichiometric separation of lanthanum were calculated theoretically and these results were examined experimentally. By using the two chelating agents, EDTA and 8-hydroxyquinoline, lanthanum could be separated substoichiometrically with good accuracy and precision. This method was applied to the determination of lanthanum by activation analysis, and found to be available for the determination of trace amount of lanthanum.

Sorption concentration of copper,lead, and iron on carriers modified by 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives

Sorption of copper, lead, and iron ions on carriers (silochrome S-120, anion exchanger AB-17, enterosgel, polysorb) noncovalently modified by 8-hydroxynoline, 5,7-dibrom-8-hydroxyquinoline, and 8-hydroxynoline-5-sulfo-acid has been studied. Optimal sorption conditions have been found. The determination is not impeded by a 10³-fold excess of potassium, natrium, calcium and magnesium. The methods have been tested on water and soil samples from Saransk city. The systematic error of determination was assessed with the use of model solutions in the option introduced/found. The relative standard deviation does not exceed 0.08 (n = 5).     

Determination of 8-hydroxyquinoline with N,2,6-trichloro-p-benzoquinoneimine

13C NMR spectra of 8-mercaptoquinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline

The signals in the¹³C NMR spectra of quinoline and its 8-substituted derivatives (SH, SCH₃, OH, OCH₃, NH₂, I, and CH₃), 8,8-diquinolyl disulfide, the 8-hydroxy-N-methylquinolinium ion, and the protonated and anionic forms of 8-hydroxy- and 8-mercaptoquinoline were assigned. The increments of the substituents in the neutral forms of these compounds correlate satisfactorily with those in substituted benzenes and the Swain-Lupton parameters (r = 0.94–0.99). The differences in the ortho increments of the substituents are due to a change in the electron densities on the carbon atoms and also to steric hindrance. The effect of an intramolecular hydrogen bond on the¹³C chemical shift of the quinoline ring of 8-hydroxy- and 8-mercaptoquinoline was examined. The¹³C chemical shifts correlate satisfactorily with the total charges (q) on the carbon atoms in the neutral forms of these compounds. A similar correlation is satisfied to a lesser extent for the protonated and anionic forms because of a change in the bond orders.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 657–662, May, 1980.     

Comparison of the absorption, emission, and resonance Raman spectra of 7-hydroxyquinoline and 8-bromo-7-hydroxyquinoline caged acetate

To better understand the deprotection reaction of the new promising phototrigger compound BHQ-OAc (8-bromo-7-hydroxyquinoline acetate), we present a detailed comparison of the UV-vis absorption, resonance Raman, and fluorescence spectra of BHQ-OAc with its parent compound 7-hydroxyquinoline in different solvents. The steady-state absorption and resonance Raman spectra provide fundamental information about the structure, properties, and population distribution of the different prototropic forms present under the different solvent conditions examined. The species present in the excited states that emit strongly were detected by fluorescence spectra. It is shown that the ground-state tautomerization process of BHQ-OAc is disfavored compared with that of 7-HQ in aqueous solutions. The observation of the tautomeric form of BHQ-OAc in neutral aqueous solutions demonstrates the occurrence of the excited-state proton-transfer process, which would be a competing process for the deprotection reaction of BHQ-OAc in aqueous solutions.
