Vibrational spectral analysis of L-lysine L-lysinium dichloride nitrate

The infrared and Raman spectra of l-lysine l-lysinium dichloride nitrate were recorded at room temperature and the vibrational assignments of the observed bands were made. The presence of both the carbonyl and ionized carboxylic groups has been identified in the title complex. The lysine and lysinium residues form a dimer through a strong OHO bond between them in the crystal. This together with the different environments has seen by the four –CH₂– groups in each skeleton cause several of the functional group wavenumbers to occur as doublets or as broad bands. Some of the forbidden modes of the nitrate group have been observed. The extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the crystal was identified by the shifting of bands due to the stretching and bending modes of the various functional groups.

The effects of conformation and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the structural and vibrational spectral data of naproxen molecule

The structural and vibrational properties of naproxen, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, were investigated by molecular modeling and experimental IR and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Possible conformers of the molecule were searched via a molecular dynamics simulation carried out with MM2 force field. The total energies, equilibrium geometries, force fields, IR and Raman spectral data of the found stable conformers were determined by means of geometry optimization and harmonic frequency calculations carried out using the B3LYP method and Pople-style basis sets of different size. The stability order obtained for the lowest-energy conformers was confirmed by high-accuracy thermochemistry calculations performed with G3MP2B3 composite method. Some electronic structure parameters of naproxen and the anharmonicity characters of its vibrational modes were determined by means of natural population analysis (NPA) and anharmonic frequency calculations at B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory. A part of these calculations carried out for free naproxen molecule were repeated also for its energetically most favored dimer forms. Two different scaling procedures ((1) “SQM-FF methodology” and (2) “Dual scale factors”) were independently applied to the obtained harmonic vibrational spectral data to fit them to the corresponding experimental data. In the light of the obtained calculation results, which confirm the remarkable effects of conformation and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the structural and vibrational spectral data, in particular, on those associated with the functional groups in the propanoic acid chain, a reliable assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the experimental IR and Raman spectra of the molecule was achieved.     

Vibrational spectral studies of L-methionine L-methioninium perchlorate monohydrate

The infrared and laser Raman spectra of L-methionine L-methioninium perchlorate monohydrate were recorded at room temperature and the vibrational assignments of the observed wave numbers were made. The presence of both the carbonyl and the ionized carboxylic groups has been identified in the title complex. The L-methionine and L-methioninium the cation have different conformations. This together with the different environment has seen by the two -CH(2)- groups in each skeleton cause several of the group wave numbers to occur as doublets or as broad bands. The perchlorate anion was found to be in the T(d) symmetry in the methionine environment. The coordination to other ligands in the crystal through hydrogen bonding does not affect this symmetry. The extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the crystal was identified by the shifting of bands due to the stretching and bending modes of the various functional groups. Fermi resonance has also been observed.     

Vibrational frequencies and structural determinations of tetraisocyanatogermane

The normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments of Ge(NCO)₄ are examined theoretically using the 98 set of quantum chemistry codes. Each of the vibrational modes was assigned to one of six types of motion predicted by a group theoretical analysis (Ge–N stretch, N–C–O symmetric stretch, N–C–O asymmetric stretch, N–C–O bend, Ge–N–C bend, and N–Ge–N bend) utilizing the T_d symmetry of the molecule. Uniform scaling factors were derived for each type of motion. Predicted infrared and Raman intensities are reported.     

Vibrational and electronic studies on interactions of Cu (II) with protic amides: Structural aspects of biological importance

Raman, IR and UV–Vis–NIR experiments of formamide (FA), N-methylformamide (NMF) and their solutions with copper perchlorate at different compositions were carried out. The downshift of the ν_CO mode and the upshift of the νCN vibration have been observed for both amides and suggest that an ionic structure is stabilized by Cu (II). The quantitative Raman study at the νCN region reveals that six FA molecules are coordinated to Cu (II) while four NMF molecules are around the metal ion. The data are complemented by information at the region characteristic of the metal–ligand vibrations, which evidences coordination through the O atom. The spectral changes observed at the ν_CN region have been then combined to the electronic data and show that [Cu(FA)₆]²⁺ and [Cu(NMF)₄]²⁺ are described as distorted octahedral and square planar complexes.     

A Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of Ion Solvation in Lithium Perchlorate/Propylene Carbonate Electrolyte

Abstract

The infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of propylene carbonate (PC) containing various concentrations of LiClO₄ have been measured and analyzed. The difference in spectra of PC with and without LiClO₄ was attributed to the interaction of the PC molecules and lithium ions. This interaction occurs mainly on the carbonyl oxygen atom of the PC molecule. The ring deformation, symmetric ring deformation, carbonyl stretching and stretching of ring oxygens for PC are sensitive to this interaction. The solvation number of Li⁺ is also calculated. On the other hand, the structure of the ClO^? ₄ is also affected by PC molecule, forming the solvent separated ion pairs.     

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of metal(II) halide benzimidazole

Infrared spectra (4000–200 cm⁻¹) are reported for metal halide(II) benzimidazole complexes of the following stoichiometries: M(benz)X₂ [M=Cd, Cu; X=Cl, Br; BENZ=benzimidazole], Co(benz)₂, and Co(benz)₂X₂ [X=Cl, Br, I]. Vibrational assignments are given for all the observed bands. The analysis of the vibrational spectra indicates that there are some structure–spectra correlations. For a given series of isomorphous complexes the sum of the difference between the values of the vibrational modes of uncoordinated benzimidazole and coordinated to metal ion benzimidazole was found to increase in the order of the second ionization potentials of metals.     

Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Part I. Vibrational frequencies of the OH group in some picolinic acid N-oxides predicted from DFT calculated potentials and located in the infrared spectra

Hydrogen bonding in picolinic acid N-oxide (I), its 4-nitro (III), 4-methoxy (IV), 4-amino (V) derivatives and in quinaldic acid N-oxide (II) was characterized by calculations (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) of metric parameters, H-bond energies and one-dimensional proton potential functions with vibrational energy levels. Solvent effects were estimated by the SCRF PCM method of Tomasi and coworkers (J. Tomasi, M. Persico, Chem. Rev. 94 (1994) 2027). The potential functions are strongly asymmetric with the energy minimum placed near the carboxylic oxygen. The inflection near the NO oxygen develops into a second, shallower minimum under the SCRF.

Empirical assignments of the OH stretching and bending modes were made for (I)–(IV). The stretchings of (I, II) and (IV) in various solvents are observed in the region 1600–1300 cm⁻¹, but near 2600 cm⁻¹ for (III). The calculated and observed frequencies are in fairly good agreement with theoretical predictions reflecting the electronic effects of the substituents upon the H-bond strength. The observed trends in the solvent effects upon various parameters characterizing the H-bonding also correspond to predictions.     

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxylsilane sol-gel and its coating

Organosilane sol-gels have been prepared under different conditions from mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTES). These sol-gels were applied for the thin film coating on aluminum. Vibrational spectroscopy has been employed to trace and to study the proceeding of the sol-gel formation and the curing of the coated films on Al. Based on the group frequencies as well as their spectral behavior under different conditions, vibrational assignments have been made for most of the observed bands. Surface enhanced Raman scattering has revealed the chemical adsorption of MPTMS sol-gel on silver particles. Recorded reflection and absorption infrared (RAIR) spectra of coated tiles cured at different temperatures have indicated that surface reaction may occur at high temperature. The anticorrosion characters of the coated metals have been evaluated with the measured electrochemical data. Results from cyclic voltammographs have indicated that each layer of sol-gel coating would reduce the redox current across the electrode/electrolyte solution interface. Tafel plots have shown that the anodic current of the coated electrode decreases significantly and the corrosion potentials shift to the positive side.     

Vibrational spectroscopic and thermal studies of some 3-phenylpropylamine complexes

Four new Hofmann–3-phenylpropylamine (3PPA) type complexes with chemical formulae M(3PPA)₂Ni(CN)₄ (M = Ni, Co, Cd, and Pd) have been prepared and their vibrational spectra are reported in the region of 4000–60 cm⁻¹. The vibrational bands arising from 3PPA ligand molecule, the polymeric sheet and metal–ligand bands of the compounds are assigned. The thermal behaviour of these complexes is also provided using the DTA and TGA along with the magnetic susceptibility data. The results indicate that the monodentate 3PPA ligand molecule bonds to the metal atom of |M–Ni(CN)₄|_∞ polymeric layers and hence the compounds are similar in structure to Hofmann-type complexes.

Vibrational Spectra and Ion-Pair Properties of Lithium Hexafluorophosphate in Ethylene Carbonate Based Mixed-Solvent Systems for Lithium Batteries

The vibrational spectra of LiPF₆ 1M solutions formed in aprotic mixed solventsobtained by mixing ethylene carbonate with dimethyl carbonate and diethylcarbonate are discussed. The Raman and infrared spectra of lithium hexafluorophosphate(LiPF₆) and the quantum chemical computations of the vibrationalwavenumbers and intensities are reported. Due to the nature of the solutions,attenuated total internal reflectance spectroscopy was used to obtain the infraredspectra. The infrared active vibrational fundamentals of PF₆ ^– provided evidencefor the anion—solvent interaction as well as ion-pair formation. Similarly, theinfrared active modes of the solvent showed significant changes due to thecation—solvent interaction. The computations of the most energetically favorablegeometry in the formation of the Li⁺ PF₆ ion pair are also presented. Conductivitymeasurements carried out for the 1M solutions scanning a wide temperatureinterval (–30 to + 60 °C) confirm the viability of these electrolytes forpractical applications.     

Spectra and Structure of Silicon-Containing Compounds. XXVIII1 Infrared and Raman Spectra,Vibrational Assignment,and Ab Initio Calculations of Vibrational Spectrum and Structural Parameters of Vinyltrichlorosilane

The infrared spectra (3200-50 cm^–1) of gaseous and solid vinyltrichlorosilane, CH₂=CH-SiCl₃, have been recorded. In addition, the Raman spectrum (3200-10 cm^–1) of the liquid has been recorded and quantitative depolarization values obtained. The infrared spectrum of the sample dissolved in liquid xenon (–80°C) has also been recorded. Using the experimental data and normal coordinate calculations with scaled ab initio force constants, the complete vibrational assignment is proposed. The torsional mode was observed in the infrared spectrum of the gas at 69 cm^–1 and the threefold barrier of internal rotation was calculated to be 500 cm^–1 (5.98 kJ/mol). Ab initio calculations have been carried out at the restricted Hartree–Fock level of the theory as well as with full electron correlation by the perturbation method to second order with different basis sets up to 6-311+G(d,p) to obtain the optimized geometries, harmonic force constants, infrared intensities, Raman activities, depolarization ratios, and vibrational frequencies. The ab initio predicted structural parameters are compared with those obtained from a previous electron diffraction study.     

Vibrational spectra of icosahedral (Ih and I) fullerenes

On the bases of the topological structures of the three big classes of icosahedral fullerenes: (1) C_n(I_h, n=60h²; h=1, 2,…), (2) C_n(I_h, n=20h²; h=1, 2,…), and (3) C_n(I, n=20(h²+hk+k²), h>k; h, k=1, 2,…), we derived formulas for the decomposition of their nuclear motions into irreducible representations. Hence, we obtained the infrared and Raman active modes for all of the icosahedral (I_h and I) fullerenes theoretically. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 66 : 113–117, 1998     

Infrared spectra of cyclic and non-cyclic ureas in solution: structures and interactions

Infrared spectra of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 2-imidazolidinone, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, 1,3-dimethylurea, and 1,1-dimethylurea have been collected in a variety of solvents. When the C=O stretching frequencies for the molecules in a common solvent were recorded, higher frequencies were found for the cyclic ureas as compared to the non-cyclic ureas. When data were analyzed within each class of urea derivatives, it was found that an increase in the number of methyl groups present on the nitrogen atoms contributed to a decrease in the C=O stretching frequency values. The frequencies of the C=O stretching modes have been correlated with the electron accepting ability of each solvent (represented by Gutmann electron acceptor numbers). The urea derivatives in the studied series exhibit similar behavior with respect to changing solvent environment despite the differences that exist among the ureas. These observations have been interpreted in terms of the structural characteristics of the ureas.     

Vibrational spectral studies of solutions at elevated temperatures and pressures. IX. Acetic acid

Raman spectra of glacial acetic acid from 350 to 3700 cm^–1 have been measured at temperatures up to 275°C and at a pressure of 9 MPa. Raman spectra of aqueous solutions of acetic acid from 3.9 to 16 molar have been measured up to 200°C at a pressure of 7 MPa. The spectral region 800 to 1850 cm^–1 for both glacial acetic acid and its aqueous solutions have been studied in detail since this region is significantly affected by variations in temperature and concentration. An interpretation of the bands in this spectral region was made with the aid of factor analysis, difference spectroscopy, band resolution techniques and the existing extensive literature. The results suggest that the major equilibrium in glacial acetic acid is between cyclic and linear dimers; however, in aqueous solutions in the concentration range studied, mono- and di-hydrated dimers and cyclic dimers are the predominant species.
