A带和B带共振拉曼光谱分别被指认为14 个振动模式和11 个振动模式的基频、泛频和组合频. C5＝C6伸缩+C6H12面内弯曲振动v₉, 环变形振动v₁₆和N3C2N1反对称伸缩+C4C5C10反对称伸缩振动v₁₈占据了A带共振拉曼光谱强度的绝大部分. 这表明¹π_Hπ_L^*激发态结构动力学主要沿这些反应坐标展开. 考察了溶剂对共振拉曼光谱的影响, 结果表明, C4＝O9伸缩+N3H11面内弯曲振动v₈的活性与溶剂性质有关, 其激发态位移量随溶剂性质的变化规律与胸腺嘧啶一致.

8-羟基喹啉银(铂)金属配合物电子光谱与非线性光学性质

运用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法对8-羟基喹啉(银、铂)(AgQ、PtQ₂)金属配合物及其衍生物的非线性光学性质进行理论计算研究. 结果表明: 引入取代基使铂配合物的最强吸收波长产生较大红移. 最低能量跃迁吸收来自最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)到最低空分子轨道(LUMO)的d→π^*和π→π^*跃迁, 属于金属配体电荷转移(MLCT)与配体配体电荷转移(LLCT). 金属银和铂掺杂8-羟基喹啉使其三阶非线性光学系数γ值明显增大, 并且在配合物上引入―Ph, ―PhOCH₃, ―PhF₂, ―PhF₅基团将进一步增大γ值. 引入基团的供电子性越强, γ值增大的幅度越大, 引入基团的吸电子性越强, γ值增大的幅度越小.     

金(I)配合物催化乙烯加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法, 对两类金(I)配合物AuX (X=F, Cl, Br, I)和AuPR₃⁺(R=F, Cl, Br, I, H, Me,Ph)催化C₂H₄加氢反应的机理进行了理论研究. 计算显示Au(I)配合物对C₂H₄氢化具有较好的催化效果, 其作用下的加氢反应存在“活化H―H键后再与C₂H₄反应”和“活化C＝C键后再与H₂反应”两种途径, 前者的活化能较后者低90-120 kJ·mol^-1, 因而具有明显的能量优势. 研究表明AuPR₃⁺ 的催化能力明显强于AuX. 此外, X/PR3基团供、吸电子能力的变化对配合物的催化能力也具有较为显著的影响. 电子结构分析显示Au(I)配合物在C₂H₄ 加氢反应中不仅能够削弱H―H、C＝C 键的强度, 还使H₂ σ_H―H^*、C₂H₄ π_C＝C^* 轨道能级下降, 从而缩小了π_C＝C-σ_H―H^*或σ_H―H-π_C＝C^*轨道间的能级差, 促进了C₂H₄-H₂反应中的电子离域, 从而降低禁阻反应发生的难度.σ_H―H^*、π_C＝C^*轨道能级改变量与加氢反应活化能E_a的降低值之间存在较好的一致性关系, 因此使上述轨道能级下降幅度越大的Au(I)配合物可以获得较好的催化效果.

糠醛在Pt(111)表面的吸附和脱碳反应

采用广义梯度近似的密度泛函理论并结合平板模型的方法, 优化了糠醛分子在Pt(111)面的吸附模型,并探究了糠醛脱碳反应形成呋喃的机理. 结果表明: 吸附后糠醛分子环上的C―H(O)键及支链―CHO相对于金属表面倾斜上翘, 分子平面被扭曲, 易于呋喃的形成; 同时, 糠醛分子向Pt表面转移电子0.765e, 环中的大π键与Pt(111)表面的d轨道发生较强的相互作用, 使得糠醛的芳香性被破坏, 环上的碳原子呈现准sp³杂化. 此外, 对糠醛脱碳反应中的各反应步骤进行过渡态搜索, 通过比较各步骤的活化能, 得出糠醛更易先失去支链上的H形成酰基中间体(C₄H₃O)CO, 中间体继续脱碳加氢形成产物呋喃. 该过程的控速步骤为(C₄H₃O)CO^*+^*→C₄H₃O^*+CO^* (^*为吸附位),活化能为127.65 kJ·mol^-1.     

含轴向咪唑配体的手性SalenCo(III)配合物ECD谱的理论解析

用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法, 在B3LYP和混合基组(C, H原子用6-31G^*; Co, N, O用6-311+G(2d,p))水平上, 对含轴向配体的三种Co(III)席夫碱配合物[Co(MeO-salen)(Im)₂]⁺、[Co(MeO-salen)(2-MeIm)₂]⁺和[Co(MeO-salen)(MeIm)₂]⁺ (Im=咪唑, MeIm=1-甲基咪唑, 2-MeIm=2-甲基咪唑, MeO-salenH₂=salen型席夫碱, 即(R,R)-N,N′-双(5-甲氧基亚水杨基)-1,2-二亚胺基环己烷)在二氯甲烷溶液中的基态结构进行了优化, 并用含时密度泛函理论(TDDFT)方法, 在相同泛函和基组水平上计算了其激发能、振子强度和旋转强度. 这些计算中均用极化连续介质模型(PCM)考虑了溶剂效应. 计算的电子圆二色(ECD)谱与实验谱吻合较好. 通过对有关跃迁性质的分析, 对实验电子圆二色光谱进行了解析与指认. 结果表明, 长波区的第一个圆二色(CD)吸收带主要是由π→d荷移跃迁(LMCT)引起的, 而不是通常认为的d→d跃迁. 轴向配体的加入对配合物前两个CD吸收带的符号没有影响, 但会影响带形和强度. 手性salen配合物的绝对构型为λ(RR)时, 第一个CD吸收带为正, 第二个为负. 这些结论对于深入理解该类配合物的电子结构和手征光学性质具有重要的科学意义.     

黄曲霉素B2分子吸附在银团簇的表面增强拉曼散射机理

采用密度泛函理论（DFT）B3LYP方法,6-311G（d,p）（C,H,O）/LANL2DZ（Ag）基组,计算了黄曲霉素B₂（AFB₂）分子吸附在Ag₂团簇的表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）光谱和预共振拉曼光谱,并与实验结果比较. 结果显示：AFB₂分子在基态Ag₂团簇表面吸附时,增强因子最大达到10²,对应吡喃（pyrane）环C=O伸缩振动,主要是由AFB₂分子周围化学环境改变而引起的基态静极化率改变导致的化学增强. 不同激发波长下的AFB₂分子预共振拉曼光谱的增强强度不同：电荷转移态激发波长为1144 和544 nm时拉曼信号增强了10²倍,而选择电荷转移预共振波长432和410 nm作为入射光时,其拉曼信号增强了10⁴倍,增强机理为银团簇和黄曲霉素分子之间的电荷转移共振增强. 因此通过改变入射光波长,选择电荷转移共振激发波长,更有利于强致癌物AFB₂分子的痕量检测.

The electronic absorption spectrum and excited state dipole moment of 3-fluoropyridine

The electronic absorption spectrum of 3-fluoropyridine in the vapour state and in solutions in different solvents in the region 3000-1900 Å has been measured and analysed. Three systems of absorption bands; n→π* transition I, π→π* transition II and π→π* transition III are identified. The oscillator strength of the absorption band systems due to the π→π* transition II and π→π* transition III and the excited state dipole moments associated with these transitions have been determined by the solvent-shift method.     

Resonance Raman Spectroscopic and Theoretical Study of Geometry Distortion of Thiourea in 21A State

The A-band resonance Raman spectra of thiourea were obtained in water and acetonitrile so-lution. B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) and RCIS/6-311++G(3df,3pd) calculations were done to elucidate the ultraviolet electronic transitions, the distorted geometry structure and the saddle point of thiourea in 2¹A excited state, respectively. The resonance Raman spectra were assigned. The absorption spectrum and resonance Raman intensities were modeled using Heller's time-dependent wavepacket approach to resonance Raman scattering. The re-sults indicate that largest change in the displacement takes place with the C=S stretch mode ν₆ (|△|=0.95) and noticeable changes appear in the H₅N₃H₆+H₈N₄H₇ wag ν₅ (|△|=0.19), NCN symmetric stretch+C=S stretch+N₃H₆+H₈N₄ wag ν₄ (|△|=0.18), while the moderate intensities of 2ν₁₅ and 4ν₁₅ are mostly due to the large excited state frequency changes of ν₁₅, but not due to its significant change in the normal mode displacement. The mechanism of the appearance of even overtones of the S=CN₂ out of plane deformation is explored. The results indicate that a Franck-Condon region saddle point is the driving force for the quadric phonon mechanism within the standard A-term of resonance Raman scattering, which leads to the pyramidalization of the carbon center and the geometry distortion of thiourea molecule in 2¹A excited state.     

Mechanism of NO photodissociation in photolabile manganese-NO complexes with pentadentate N5 ligands

The Mn-nitrosyl complexes [Mn(PaPy(3))(NO)](ClO(4)) (1; PaPy(3)(-) = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N-ethyl-2-pyridine-2-carboxamide) and [Mn(PaPy(2)Q)(NO)](ClO(4)) (2, PaPy(2)Q(-) = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N-ethyl-2-quinoline-2-carboxamide) show a remarkable photolability of the NO ligand upon irradiation of the complexes with UV-vis-NIR light [Eroy-Reveles, A. A.; Leung, Y.; Beavers, C. M.; Olmstead, M. M.; Mascharak, P. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 4447]. Here we report detailed spectroscopic and theoretical studies on complexes 1 and 2 that provide key insight into the mechanism of NO photolabilization in these compounds. IR- and FT-Raman spectroscopy show N-O and Mn-NO stretching frequencies in the 1720-1750 and 630-650 cm(-1) range, respectively, for these Mn-nitrosyls. The latter value for ν(Mn-NO) is one of the highest transition-metal-NO stretching frequencies reported to this date, indicating that the Mn-NO bond is very strong in these complexes. The electronic structure of 1 and 2 is best described as Mn(I)-NO(+), where the Mn(I) center is in the diamagnetic low-spin state and the NO(+) ligand forms two very strong π backbonds with the d(xz) and d(yz) orbitals of the metal. This explains the very strong Mn-NO bonds observed in these complexes, which even supersede the strengths of the Fe- and Ru-NO bonds in analogous (isoelectronic) Fe/Ru(II)-NO(+) complexes. Using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, we were able to assign the electronic spectra of 1 and 2, and to gain key insight into the mechanism of NO photorelease in these complexes. Upon irradiation in the UV region, NO is released because of the direct excitation of d(π)_π* → π*_d(π) charge transfer (CT) states (direct mechanism), which is similar to analogous NO adducts of Ru(III) and Fe(III) complexes. These are transitions from the Mn-NO bonding (d(π)_π*) into the Mn-NO antibonding (π*_d(π)) orbitals within the Mn-NO π backbond. Since these transitions lead to the population of Mn-NO antibonding orbitals, they promote the photorelease of NO. In the case of 1 and 2, further transitions with distinct d(π)_π* → π*_d(π) CT character are observed in the 450-500 nm spectral range, again promoting photorelease of NO. This is confirmed by resonance Raman spectroscopy, showing strong resonance enhancement of the Mn-NO stretch at 450-500 nm excitation. The extraordinary photolability of the Mn-nitrosyls upon irradiation in the vis-NIR region is due to the presence of low-lying d(xy) → π*_d(π) singlet and triplet excited states. These have zero oscillator strengths, but can be populated by initial excitation into d(xy) → L(Py/Q_π*) CT transitions between Mn and the coligand, followed by interconversion into the d(xy) → π*_d(π) singlet excited states. These show strong spin-orbit coupling with the analogous d(xy) → π*_d(π) triplet excited states, which promotes intersystem crossing. TD-DFT shows that the d(xy) → π*_d(π) triplet excited states are indeed found at very low energy. These states are strongly Mn-NO antibonding in nature, and hence, promote dissociation of the NO ligand (indirect mechanism). The Mn-nitrosyls therefore show the long sought-after potential for easy tunability of the NO photorelease properties by simple changes in the coligand.     

Study of the electronic spectra of 2-fluoro-5-chloropyridine and determination of the excited state dipole moment

The ultraviolet absorption spectrum in the region 300-190 nm in the vapour phase and in solution in different solvents, and the luminescence emission spectra in ethanol and cyclohexane at 77 K have been measured for 2-fluoro-5-chloropyridine and analysed. The molecule shows two systems of absorption bands corresponding to the π→π* transition II and π→π* transition III. The oscillator strength of the two systems of absorption bands in solutions and the excited state dipole moment in the ¹π, π* state have been determined. The half-life of phosphorescence in cyclohexane is measured and found to be 3·6 s.     

Gas and solution phase chloroiodomethane short-time photodissociation dynamics in the B-band absorption

Resonance Raman spectra were obtained within and to the red of the B-band absorption spectrum of gas phase chloroiodomethane and chloroiodomethane in cyclohexane solvent. The spectra show the fundamental and overtones of the nominal C---I stretch (nν₅) and combination bands of the CH₂ wag (ν₃), I---C---Cl bend (ν₆), and the CH₂ scissor (ν₂) fundamentals with the C---I stretch bands (nν₅). The chloroiodomethane B-band short-time photodissociation dynamics have significant substituent effects relative to the B-band of iodomethane due to the presence of the C---Cl chromophore n(X) → σ^* (C---X) transitions ≈170 nm that are close to the B-band absorption of chloroiodomethane but absent in iodomethane.     

Decay Dynamics of N,N-Dimethylthioacetamide in S3(ππ*) State (cited: 1)

The decay dynamics of N,N-dimethylthioacetamide after excitation to the S₃(ππ^*) state was studied by using the resonance Raman spectroscopy and complete active space selfconsistent field method calculations. The UV-absorption and vibrational spectra were assigned. The A-band resonance Raman spectra were obtained in acetonitrile, methanol and water with the laser excitation wavelengths in resonance with the first intense absorption band to probe the Franck-Condon region structural dynamics. The CASSCF calculations were carried out to determine the excitation energies and optimized structures of the lowerlying singlet states and conical intersection point. The A-band structural dynamics and the corresponding decay mechanism were obtained by the analysis of the resonance Raman intensity pattern and the CASSCF calculated structural parameters. The major decay channel of _3,FC(ππ^*)→S₃(ππ^*)/S₁(nπ^*)→_{1(nπ^*) is proposed.}

The oscillator strength of the absorption band system due to the π → π* transition and the excited state dipole moment in the ¹π,π* state have been estimated for 2-methoxypyridine.
