The structural identification of small nickel clusters with ethanol can help to understand fundamental steps for heterogenous catalysis. We investigate the rows [Nix(EtOH)1]+ with x=1–4, and [Ni2(EtOH)y]+ with y=1–3 via IR photodissociation spectroscopy in a molecular beam experiment. Analyzing the CH- and OH-stretching frequencies and comparing these experimental results with density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the PW91/6-311+G(d,p) level leads to the identification of intact motifs for all clusters and hints for C−O cleavage of the ethanol in two particular cases. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of frequency shifts with the increasing clusters sizes using the results of natural bond orbitals (NBO) analyses and an energy decomposition method. 相似文献

This work illustrates several theoretical fundamentals for the application of THz vibrational spectroscopy to molecular characterization in the solid state using two different types of saccharide systems as examples. Four subjects have been specifically addressed: (1) the qualitative differences in the molecular vibrational signatures monitored by THz and mid‐IR vibrational spectroscopy; (2) the selection rules for THz vibrational spectroscopy as applied to crystalline and amorphous systems; (3) a normal mode simulation, using α‐l ‐xylose as an example; and (4) a rigorous mode analysis to quantify the percentage contributions of the intermolecular and intramolecular vibrations to the normal mode of interest. 相似文献

The fundamental (Δv = 1 ← 0) and the first overtone (Δv = 2 ← 0) transitions of monolayer physisorbed CO on NaCl(100) single crystal surfaces at 5 K have been investigated using polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Comparisons of the transition frequencies, bandwidths and absorbances for these two transitions together with those of dilute isotopes allow us to isolate the contribution of dynamic and static coupling effects of molecules within the monolayer. Homogeneous and heterogeneous effects can also be distinguished from band profiles of these various transitions. We conclude that the residual line broadening of 0.1 cm?1 at 5 K for the isolated CO isotopes arises from heterogeneous surface effects. We set an upper limit of 0.07 cm?1 for the linewidth of single CO molecules on NaCl(lOO) due to surface heterogeneity. A lower limit of × 10?8 cm?1 is provided by the vibrational lifetime of adsorbed CO molecules. Sharpness of the vibrational features shows that infrared spectroscopy of adsorbate is a sensitive method for probing surface and adlayer irregularities of adsorbed molecules on a single crystal. 相似文献

The benchmark inclusion complexes formed by α‐cyclodextrin (αCD) with alkali‐metal cations are investigated under isolated conditions in the gas phase. The relative αCD‐M+ (M=Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+) binding affinities and the structure of the complexes are determined from a combination of mass spectrometry, infrared action spectroscopy and quantum chemical computations. Solvent‐free laser desorption measurements reveal a trend of decreasing stability of the isolated complexes with increasing size of the cation guest. The experimental infrared spectra are qualitatively similar for the complexes with the four cations investigated, and are consistent with the binding of the cation within the primary face of the cyclodextrin, as predicted by the quantum computations (B3LYP/6‐31+G*). The inclusion of the quantum‐chemical cation disrupts the C6 symmetry of the free cyclodextrin to provide the optimum coordination of the cations with the ‐CH2OH groups in C1, C2 or C3 symmetry arrangements that are determined by the size of the cation. 相似文献

In this paper we investigate the electric interaction between a charged particle and a surface in which the charged ions are capable of moving in response to the electric potential disturbance caused by the approach of the charged particle. Such surfaces include ionic surfactants distributed in air-water interface and charged lipids in bilayer membranes. On the basis of the mean field theory, the free energy of the system, which includes the electrostatic internal energy and the entropy of the mobile ions and surface ions, can be written down. The surface charge-potential relation is then derived by the calculus of variation. When the potential disturbance is small enough, a linear charge regulation model is obtained. The interaction energy associated with a long rod parallel to the interface is studied and an analytical expression is obtained. When a rod approaches an oppositely charged surface, the interaction can change from attraction to repulsion, depending on the ratio of the characteristic regulation length to the Debye length. At low surface charge density, the surface behaves as under the condition of constant charge density and acts as that of constant potential for high enough charge density.

The time-resolved attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy is employed to investigate the transport mechanism of gel electrolytes by monitoring the diffusion behavior of propylene carbonate-lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide(PC-LiTFSI) solution through poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(P(VDF-HFP)) films. Fickian behavior has been observed for both TFSI-and PC. Higher temperature leads to faster diffusion of TFSI~-and PC, which could be related to the increased free volume in P(VDF-HFP)matrix and rapid molecular movements upon heating. Various molecular interactions among LiTFSI, PC and P(VDF-HFP) have been recognized.During the diffusion process, PC molecules, in the form of small clusters, can firstly diffuse through the P(VDF-HFP) film and interact with P(VDFHFP) by dipole-dipole interaction, acting as the plasticizer. Then, Li~+ diffuses into P(VDF-HFP) with the help of ion-dipole interactions between Li~+and C=O of PC. Meanwhile, TFSI-diffuses through the polymer matrix in solvation states. In addition, slight ion-dipole interactions between Li~+and P(VDF-HFP) have been observed as well. Results in this work contribute to a better understanding of transport process in gel polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries and support the development of improved gel polymer electrolytes by rationally regulating molecular interactions. 相似文献

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique was used to investigate the interfacial behavior of beta-lactoglobulin at an austenitic stainless steel surface over the temperature range 299 to 343 K at an open circuit potential. The electrode/electrolyte interface and corresponding surface processes were successfully modeled by applying an equivalent-electrical-circuit approach. A charge-transfer resistance value was found to be very sensitive to the amount of adsorbed protein (surface concentration), thus indicating that the adsorption of the protein (i) was accompanied by the transfer of the charge, via chemisorption, and (ii) influenced the mechanism and kinetics of the corrosion reaction. This was also apparent from the large decrease in the corrosion activation energy (16 kJ mol(-1)) caused by the adsorption of the protein. Adsorption of beta-lactoglobulin onto the stainless steel surface at an open circuit potential resulted in a unimodal isotherm at all the temperatures studied and the adsorption process was described with a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. From the calculated Gibbs free energies of adsorption it was confirmed that beta-lactoglobulin molecules adsorb strongly onto the stainless steel surface. The enthalpy and entropy values indicated that the molecule partially unfolds at the surface upon adsorption. The adsorption process was found to be entirely governed by the change in entropy.

Cytochrome P450 NO reductase is an unusual member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily. It catalyzes the reduction of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide. The reaction intermediates were studied in detail by a combination of experimental and computational methods. They have been characterized experimentally by UV/Vis, EPR, Mössbauer, and MCD spectroscopy. In conjunction with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations, we sought to characterize the resting state and the two detectable intermediates in detail and to elucidate the nature of the key intermediate I of the reaction. Six possible candidates were taken into account for the unknown key intermediate in the computational study, differing in protonation state and electronic structure. Two out of the six candidates could be identified as putative intermediates I with the help of the spectroscopic data: singlet diradicals FeIII‐NHO . ? and FeIII‐NHOH . . In a companion publication (C. Riplinger, F. Neese, ChemPhysChem 2011, 12, 3192 ) we have used QM/MM models based on these structures and performed a kinetic simulation. The combination of these two studies shows the nature of the key intermediate to be the singlet diradical, FeIII‐NHOH . . 相似文献

The CO(2)(010)-O((3)P) vibrational energy transfer (VET) efficiency is a key input to aeronomical models of the energy budget of the upper atmospheres of Earth, Venus, and Mars. This work addresses the physical mechanisms responsible for the high efficiency of the VET process at the thermal energies existing in the terrestrial upper atmosphere (150 K=T=550 K). We present a quantum-mechanical study of the process within a reduced-dimensionality approach. In this model, all the particles remain along a plane and the O((3)P) atom collides along the C(2v) symmetry axis of CO(2), which can present bending oscillations around the linear arrangement, while the stretching C-O coordinates are kept fixed at their equilibrium values. Two kinds of scattering calculations are performed on high-quality ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs). In the first approach, the calculations are carried out separately for each one of the three PESs correlating to O((3)P). In the second approach, nonadiabatic effects induced by spin-orbit couplings (SOC) are also accounted for. The results presented here provide an explanation to some of the questions raised by the experiments and aeronomical observations. At thermal energies, nonadiabatic transitions induced by SOC play a key role in causing large VET efficiencies, the process being highly sensitive to the initial fine-structure level of oxygen. At higher energies, the two above-mentioned approaches tend to coincide towards an impulsive Landau-Teller mechanism of the vibrational to translational (V-T) energy transfer. 相似文献

The surface hydroxyl groups of γ‐alumina dehydroxylated at 500 °C were studied by a combination of one‐ and two‐dimensional homo‐ and heteronuclear 1H and 27Al NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic field. In particular, by harnessing 1H–27Al dipolar interactions, a high selectivity was achieved in unveiling the topology of the alumina surface. The terminal versus bridging character of the hydroxyl groups observed in the 1H magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectrum was demonstrated thanks to 1H–27Al RESPDOR (resonance‐echo saturation‐pulse double‐resonance). In a further step the hydroxyl groups were assigned to their aluminium neighbours thanks to a {1H}‐27Al dipolar heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (D‐HMQC), which was used to establish a first coordination map. Then, in combination with 1H–1H double quantum (DQ) MAS, these elements helped to reveal intimate structural features of the surface hydroxyls. Finally, the nature of a peculiar reactive hydroxyl group was demonstrated following this methodology in the case of CO2 reactivity with alumina. 相似文献

The Front Cover shows the interfacial selectivity of second harmonic generation at the water‐vacuum interface, which is targeted in this work. In more details, the molecular first hyperpolarizability responses have been calculated by combining classical molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry simulations, and our model was able to distinguish between the bulk and the interfacial contributions.

AcMP8 is the Cys-14-acetylated water-soluble heme-octapeptide fragment obtained proteolytically from cytochrome c. Two successive dimerization equilibria are observed with increasing ionic strength in aqueous solution at neutral pH (part 1, preceding article). The electronic spectra of the two pi-pi dimers were extracted from the absorption envelopes at 2.01 and 4.02 M ionic strength and resolved by Gaussian analysis. The principal transitions were assigned using a tailored version of molecular exciton theory based on coupling of the main x- and y-polarized transition dipole moments of the interacting heme groups. The spectra of both pi-pi dimers indicate that the y-polarized exciton states are blue-shifted relative to the excited states of the monomer, while the x-polarized exciton states exhibit a red shift. These shifts were correctly predicted by a simple dipole-dipole coupling model. From an analysis of the resultant transition dipole moments to the exciton states with B(x)()(0,0) and B(y)()(0,0) character and the magnitudes of their red and blue exciton shifts, respectively, we have determined the dipole-dipole interaction geometries for both dimers. The principal difference between the interaction geometry in the first dimer and that in the second is a stronger interaction for the y-polarized transition dipoles and somewhat weakened interaction for the x-polarized transition dipoles. From an analysis of available crystallographic data for porphyrin and metalloporphyrin pi-pi dimers (Scheidt, W. R.; Lee, Y. J. Struct. Bonding 1987, 64, 1) and the results of our exciton model, we conclude that the origin of the coordinate system for the Soret transition dipole moments of AcMP8 is not metal-centered. Furthermore, since the true directions of the x- and y-axes of the low-symmetry heme chromophore in AcMP8 are unknown, we have not been able to determine the structures of the pi-pi dimers from a knowledge of their transition dipole-dipole interaction geometries. This study therefore highlights one of the shortfalls of molecular exciton theory. 相似文献

Using density functional theory calculations, we compare the relative stabilities and properties of different arrangements of S on Fe(110) at a 1/3 monolayer coverage, including two observed experimentally. For all studied arrangements, S is adsorbed in the three high-symmetry adsorption sites: 4-fold hollow, 3-fold hollow, bridge, and atop sites. The binding energy, work function change, adsorption geometry, charge density distribution, magnetic properties, and density of states are determined and compared. The most stable overlayer arrangement corresponds to the overlayer seen by experiment after dissociative adsorption of H2S and has S adsorbed in 4-fold hollow sites. In the other arrangements, the S atoms are located closer to each other on the surface reducing the stability of the overlayer. S causes a minor adsorbate-induced reconstruction of the Fe surface and quenches the magnetic moment of the Fe atoms it bonds to directly. It adsorbs as an electropositive species, causing a positive work function change and forms polar covalent bonds to the surface. 相似文献
