Mechanical properties,lattice thermal conductivity,infrared and Raman spectrum of the fullerite C24

Lightweight carbon materials with excellent thermal and mechanical properties have important applications in aerospace industry. In this study, the stability, mechanical properties, lattice thermal conductivity, electronic structure, infrared and Raman spectrum of sp³ hybridized low-density fullerite C₂₄ were investigated according to density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the fullerite C₂₄ was both thermodynamic and dynamic stable. Quasi-harmonic approximation and Grüneisen parameter calculations clarified why the fullerite C₂₄ had a positive thermal expansion coefficient at low temperature. The fullerite C₂₄ also exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Interestingly, the Vickers hardness of carbon allotropes was found to almost be linear proportional to the density of a carbon material. HSE06 electronic structure calculations showed that it was a semiconductor with direct bandgap of 2.56 eV. Anharmonic lattice dynamic calculations showed that its thermal conductivity was higher than semiconductor silicon. Besides, Raman and infrared active modes as well as the corresponding spectra were presented.     

三种石斛及其提取物的红外光谱法整体结构解析与鉴定

Raman study of orbital mediated multiphonons in RMnO3 (R = Pr,Sm,Eu,Tb,Y)

We have studied RMnO₃ manganites (R = Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb, Y) Raman excitations in the 200–2800 cm^-1 range as a function of temperature. Combinations of phonon energies are observed up to the fourth order, indicating the presence of electron-phonon coupling. In comparison to Γ-point phonon combinations, double phonon excitations appear to be blue shifted in large size rare earth ion compounds. The phonon combination intensities decrease rapidly with their increasing order, confirming other studies which conclude that the electron-phonon coupling is not as strong as supposed in the localized limit. Moreover, different intensity order dependences are observed between the phonon combination and the so-called Jahn-Teller mode. These effects are better described in the orbiton-phonon coupling scheme.     

Raman and infrared spectral studies of [C(NH2)3]2MII(H2O)4(SO4)2, MII = Mn,Cd and VO

The Raman and FTIR spectra of three metal guanidinium sulfates, [C(NH₂)₃]₂M^II(H₂O)₄(SO₄)₂, (M^II = Mn, Cd and VO), are recorded. The observed spectral bands are assigned in terms of the fundamental modes of vibration of the guanidinium ions, sulfate groups and water molecules. The appearance of the sulfate tetrahedra's ν₁ and ν₂ modes in the IR spectra and the partial lifting of the ν₄ mode in the Raman spectra indicate the distortion of the SO₄²⁻ tetrahedra in the structure, so that its symmetry is lowered from T_d to C₁. The geometry of the sulfate group in guanidinium vanadyl sulfate does not deviate much from that of the average sulfate group. The distortion of the SO₄ tetrahedra is stronger in GuCds than in GuMnS. The CN₃ group in the guanidinium ion is planar (D_3h point group) in GuCdS and GuMnS, whereas it is lowered in the vanadyl compound. Furthermore, the spectral analyses show the presence of weak hydrogen bonds in the structures. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Temperature dependence of infrared conductivity of manganites (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.2)

The temperature dependence of the reflectivity spectra of three manganites ceramics with compositions Pr_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃, Pr_0.7Ca_0.25Sr_0.05MnO₃ and Pr_0.7Ca_0.1Sr_0.2MnO₃ has been investigated by infrared reflectivity spectroscopy in the wave number range 0.005-1.1 eV. The compound Pr_0.7Ca_0.25Sr_0.05MnO₃ which shows the largest conductivity jump at the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition has been studied in details. The optical conductivity of this compound is deduced from the best fit to reflectivity spectra of a “double-damping Drude” model, itself derived from the factorized form of the dielectric function. Excellent agreement with Kramers-Kronig transformation is reported. The model allows in particular to discriminate the contributions to the optical conductivity of trapped charges (polarons) and mobile charge carriers.

The origin of disorder in CH 3 HgX (X = Cl, Br and I) crystals investigated by temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy

Methyl-mercury(II) halides CH₃HgX (X = Cl, Br and I) were studied by means of temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy from 10 K to 410 K. In addition to the previously reported soft phonons, new changes in the low frequency spectra were observed at T ≈ 70 K in CH₃HgBr and at T ≈ 100 K in CH₃HgI. The bandwidths of the two internal modes in CH₃HgBr, the CH₃ symmetric stretching band and the C-Hg-Br bending band, rise towards a local maximum at T ≈ 50 K as the temperature is raised from 10 K to 300 K. On the other hand the bandwidths of the two corresponding modes in CH₃HgI crystals monotonously increase with temperature, obeying an Arrhenius law. Besides the three phonon modes present in the Raman spectra of CH₃HgCl at room temperature, the fourth phonon band that has been observed at temperatures below 245 K might correspond to the freezing of methyl librations. The huge bandwidth of the C-Hg-Br bending mode could suggest the presence of additional weak bonding of a mercury atom with bromine atoms from other molecules, thus inducing positional disorder.

The Vibrational Spectra of Complexes with Planar Monothiooxamides. IV. The Copper(II) and Copper(I) Complexes of Neutral Monothiooxamides

The new complexes CuX₂(LH₂), CuX₂ (SH₃) (X = Cl, Br), CuX(LH₂), CuX(SH₃) (X = Cl, Br, I), CuX(H₄MTO)₂ (X = Cl, Br), Cul(H₄MTO) and CuX(H₃MMTO)₂ (X = Cl, Br, I), where LH₂ = N.N′-dimethyl-monothiooxamide, SH₃ = N(s)-methylmonothiooxamide, H₄MTO = monothiooxamide and H₃MMTO = N_(o)-methylmonothiooxamide, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, magnetic moments and spectroscopic (UV/VIS, FT-IR, Laser-Raman) studies. The vibrational analysis of the complexes has been given using NH/ND, CH₃/CD₃ and ⁶³cu/⁶⁵cu isotopic substitutions. The neutral monothiooxamides behave as monodentate ligands in the Cu(I) complexes coordinating through their thioamide sulfur atom. The ligands LH2 and SH₃ act as bidentate chelating agents in the Cu(II) complexes with ligated atoms being the thioamide sulfur and the amide oxygen.     

Infrared and Raman Spectra,conformations, ab initio calculations and spectral assignments of 1,3‐disilabutane (SiH3CH2SiH2CH3)

Raman spectra of 1,3‐disilabutane (SiH₃CH₂SiH₂CH₃) as a liquid were recorded at 293 K and as a solid at 78 K. In the Raman cryostat at 78 K an amorphous phase was first formed, giving a spectrum similar to that of the liquid. After annealing to 120 K, the sample crystallized and large changes occurred in the spectra since more than 20 bands present in the amorphous solid phase vanished. These spectral changes made it possible to assign Raman bands to the anti or gauche conformers with confidence. Additional Raman spectra were recorded of the liquid at 14 temperatures between 293 and 137 K. Some Raman bands changed their peak heights with temperature but were countered by changes in linewidths, and from three band pairs assigned to the anti and gauche conformers, the conformational enthalpy difference Δ_confH(gauche–anti) was found to be 0 ± 0.3 kJ mol⁻¹ in the liquid. Infrared spectra were obtained in the vapor and in the liquid phases at ambient temperature and in the solid phases at 78 K in the range 4000–400 cm⁻¹. The sample crystallized immediately when deposited on the CsI window at 78 K, and many bands present in the vapor and liquid disappeared. Additional infrared spectra in argon matrixes at 5 K were recorded before and after annealing to temperatures 20–34 K. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out at the HF, MP2 and B3LYP levels with a variety of basis sets. The HF and DFT calculations suggested the anti conformer as the more stable one by ca 1 kJ mol⁻¹, while the MP2 results favored gauche by up to 0.4 kJ mol⁻¹. The Complete Basis Set method CBS‐QB3 gave an energy difference of 0.1 kJ mol⁻¹, with anti as the more stable one. Scaled force fields from B3LYP/cc‐pVQZ calculations gave vibrational wavenumbers and band intensities for the two conformers. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The infrared and laser Raman spectra of K2Zn(SO4)2 · 6H2O

The Raman spectra of the single crystal of K₂Zn(SO₄)₂·6H₂O belonging toC _2h ⁵ space group in the 40–1200 cm⁻¹ region in different scattering geometries and their spectra ofthe microcrystalline salt in the 1500-50 cm⁻¹ region have been reported. The dynamics of the crystal has been described in terms of 186 phonon modes under the unit cell approximation. The weak bands in the region 400–900 cm⁻¹ have been assigned to the libratory modes of H₂O molecules in contradiction to the assignments reported by Ananthanarayanan. The ambiguities existing in the literature about the assignments ofν ₂ ^c andν ₅ ^c modes of [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ have also been removed. The translatory and libratory modes of different units of the crystal have been identified and assignments are made using farir and Raman data on various isomorphous tutton salts. It has been inferred that both SO ₄ ²⁻ tetrahedron and [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedron undergo linear as well as angular distortions from their free state symmetries in the crystal.

Experimental vibrational spectra (Raman,infrared) and DFT calculations on monomeric and dimeric structures of 2‐ and 6‐bromonicotinic acid

In this work, the Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of 2‐bromonicotinic acid and 6‐bromonicotinic acid (abbreviated as 2‐BrNA and 6‐BrNA, C₆H₄BrNO₂) have been recorded in the region 4000–400 and 3500–50 cm⁻¹. The optimum molecular geometry, normal mode wavenumbers, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities, corresponding vibrational assignments and intermolecular hydrogen bonds were investigated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) method using 6‐311++G(d,p) basis set. Reliable vibrational assignments were made on the basis of total energy distribution (TED) calculated with scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method. From the calculations, the molecules are predicted to exist predominantly as the C1 conformer. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Phase transitions and molecular motions in [Zn(NH3)4](BF4)2 studied by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and Raman spectroscopy

Middle infrared absorption, Raman scattering and proton magnetic resonance relaxation measurements were performed for [Zn(NH₃)₄](BF₄) in order to establish relationship between the observed phase transitions and reorientational motions of the NH₃ ligands and BF₄⁻ anions. The temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation time (T₁(¹H)) and of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the bands connected with ρ_r(NH₃), ν₂(BF₄) and ν₄(BF₄) modes in the infrared and in the Raman spectra have shown that in the high temperature phase of [Zn(NH₃)₄](BF₄)₂ all molecular groups perform the following stochastic reorientational motions: fast (τ_R≈10⁻¹² s) 120° flips of NH₃ ligands about three-fold axis, fast isotropic reorientation of BF₄⁻ anions and slow (τ_R≈10⁻⁴ s) isotropic reorientation (“tumbling”) of the whole [Zn(NH₃)₄]²⁺ cation. Mean values of the activation energies for uniaxial reorientation of NH₃ and isotropic reorientation of BF₄⁻ at phases I and II are ca. 3 kJ mol⁻¹ and ca. 5 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. At phases III and IV the activation energies values for uniaxial reorientation of both NH₃ and of BF₄⁻ equal to ca. 7 kJ mol⁻¹. Nearly the same values of the activation energies, as well as of the reorientational correlation times, at phases III and IV well explain existence of the coupling between reorientational motions of NH₃ and BF₄⁻. Splitting some of the infrared bands at T_C2=117 K suggests reducing of crystal symmetry at this phase transition. Sudden narrowing of the bands connected with ν₂(BF₄), ν₄(BF₄) and ρ_r(NH₃) modes at T_C3=101 K implies slowing down (τ_R?10⁻¹⁰ s) of the fast uniaxial reorientational motions of the BF₄⁻ anions and NH₃ ligands at this phase transition.

ABSTRACT

Potassium bis(oxalato)zincate(II)dihydrate was prepared and characterized. The sample was irradiated with ⁶⁰Co gamma rays up to 900?kGy. Infrared, Raman and photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction pattern, surface morphology by AFM and SEM and non-isothermal decomposition of the complex were studied before and after irradiation. Spectral studies suggested significant radiation damage. X-ray diffraction studies showed reduction in unit cell volume and average crystallite size. Both unirradiated and irradiated samples of the complex belong to the hexagonal crystal system. Surface morphology of the complex changed upon irradiation. Thermal decomposition was enhanced.     

盐水溶液中单硼酸盐物种(B(OH)3和B(OH)-4)的拉曼光谱定量分析

盐湖是天然存在的水和盐类共存的复杂体系,卤水中硼酸盐的赋存形态及分布规律较一般水溶液更为复杂,通常随盐类的浓缩富集而发生复杂的聚合、缔合等作用,存在严重的过饱和性,不利于盐湖硼及其他盐类的分离提取。因此,开展盐湖卤水体系中硼酸盐物种分布规律及离子间相互作用机制研究具有重要的实际意义。激光拉曼光谱因具有原位、无损、且水峰干扰小等特点,被广泛应用于硼酸盐溶液结构光谱学研究中,并表现出较大的优越性。近年来,以化学计量学为核心的现代拉曼光谱定量分析技术已成为快速准确获取复杂体系目标物量关系的有效手段,对光谱解析中面临的光谱重叠、背景干扰、基线漂移等问题具有强大的优势,在分析领域中得到了广泛而深刻的应用。基于化学计量学算法,采用拉曼光谱技术探究了三种回归模型(内标法、多元线性回归和偏最小二乘法)对盐水溶液中单硼物种B(OH)₃和B(OH)^-₄的定量分析,并通过外标样进行方法评估。研究表明,多元线性回归和偏最小二乘法对外标样的预测结果更为准确,相对误差均在1%以内,但前者对低硼含量的预测效果更佳。进一步地,根据建立的多元线性回归模型...     

Metal-insulator transition in the low-dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)<Subscript>2</Subscript>FSO<Subscript>3</Subscript> probed by infrared microspectroscopy

We present measurements of the infrared response of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)₂FSO₃ along (E ) and perpendicular (E ) to the stacking axis as a function of temperature. Above the metal-insulator transition related to the anion ordering the optical conductivity spectra show a Drude-like response. Below the transition an energy gap of about 1500 cm^-1 (185 meV) opens, leading to the corresponding charge transfer band in the optical conductivity spectra. The analysis of the infrared-active vibrations gives evidence for the long-range crystal structure modulation below the transition temperature and for the short-range order fluctuations of the lattice modulation above the transition temperature. We also report about a new infrared mode at around 710 cm-1 with a peculiar temperature behavior, which has so far not been observed in any other (TMTSF)₂X salt showing a metal-insulator transition. A qualitative model based on the coupling between the TMTSF molecule vibration and the reorientation of electrical dipole moment of the FSO₃ anion is proposed, in order to explain the anomalous behavior of this new mode.     

Experimental (UV,NMR, IR and Raman) and theoretical spectroscopic properties of 2-chloro-6-methylaniline

In this work, the experimental and theoretical UV, NMR and vibrational spectra of 2-chloro-6-methylaniline (2-Cl-6-MA, C₇H₈NCl) were studied. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of compound that dissolved in ethanol were examined in the range of 200–400 nm. The ¹H, ¹³C and DEPT NMR spectra of the compound were recorded. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-Cl-6-MA in the liquid phase were recorded in the region 4000–400 cm^?1 and 3500–50 cm^?1, respectively. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies were found to be in good agreement. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shifts were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Comparison of the calculated NMR chemical shifts and absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT method produces good results.     

Spectral,thermal, optical and dielectric characterization of tris(tetraethylammonium) pentabromozincate(II) monohydrate crystals

Tris(tetraethylammonium) pentabromozincate(II) monohydrate, is a new semiorganic compound synthesized and crystallized by slow evaporation solution growth method at room temperature. The formation of the compound in the stoichiometric ratio was confirmed by elemental analysis. The crystalline nature of the compound was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction method and the crystal system was found to be triclinic. The absorption spectrum of the compound shows absorption at 247 nm and it has wide transparency in the visible region. The lower cut-off wavelength and the optical transmittance window of the compound were identified by optical transmittance study. The thermogravimetric and differential thermal (TG–DTA) analyses were studied to find out the thermal stability of the synthesized compound. The thermal anomalies observed in the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicate that the compound shows a first order phase transition. The FTIR spectrum was used to characterize the various chemical bonds and water molecule present in the compound. The nonlinear optical property (NLO) of the material was analyzed by modified Kurtz–Perry powder technique and found that it has SHG efficiency three times greater than that of KDP. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the compound decrease with increase in frequency.     

Na1−xLixNbO3 ceramics studied by X-ray diffraction, dielectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric and Raman spectroscopy

Na_1−xLi_xNbO₃ ceramics with composition 0.05≤x≤0.30 were prepared by solid-state reaction method and sintered in the temperature range 1100-1150 °C. These ceramics were characterised by X-ray diffraction as well as dielectric permittivity measurements and Raman spectroscopy. Dielectric properties of ceramics belonging to the whole composition domain were investigated in a broad range of temperatures from 300 to 750 K and frequencies from 0.1 to 200 kHz. The Rietveld refinement powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that these ceramics have a single phase of perovskite structure with orthorhombic symmetry for x≤0.15 and two phases coexistence of rhombohedral and orthorhombic above x=0.20. The evolution of the permittivity as a function of temperature and frequency showed that these ceramics Na_1−xLi_xNbO₃ with composition 0.05≤x≤0.15 present the classical ferroelectric character and the phase transition temperature T_C increases as x content increases. The polarisation state was checked by pyroelectric and piezoelectric measurements. For x=0.05, the piezoelectric coefficient d₃₁ is of 2pC/N. The evolution of the Raman spectra was studied as a function of temperatures and compositions. The results of the Raman spectroscopy study confirm our dielectric measurements, and they indicate clearly the transition from the polar ferroelectric phase to the non-polar paraelectric one.
