Experimental and theoretical study of the electronic states and spectra of PbLi

Gas phase emission spectra of the hitherto unknown free radical PbLi have been measured in the NIR range with a Fourier-transform spectrometer. The emissions were observed from a fast flow system in which lead vapor in argon carrier gas was passed through a microwave discharge and mixed with lithium vapor in an observation tube. Five electronic transitions have been found in the wavenumber range 3800-10 000 cm⁻¹. Bands from two excited states to the ground state were measured at high spectral resolution such that rotational analyses could be performed and accurate molecular parameters derived. In order to aid in the analysis of the experimental data, a series of relativistic configuration interaction calculations has been carried out to obtain potential curves for the low-lying states of PbLi and also electric dipole transition moments connecting them. As in the lighter molecules of this group, CLi and SiLi, the ground state of PbLi is found to be 3/2) with a spin splitting of about 2000 cm⁻¹. The first excited state is (A 1/2), and two observed band systems are assigned to the transitions A→X₁ and A→X₂. Two more excited states, (B 3/2) and C 1/2, are identified from the observed spectra with the help of the computed data, and their spectroscopic constants are determined. In contrast to PbH and PbF, the ab initio results indicate a very complicated low-energy electronic structure for the PbLi radical, with 19 bound electronic states calculated to lie below 3 eV.     

Experimental and theoretical study of the far-infrared spectra of HCl dissolved in liquid Ar,Kr, and Xe

New experimental results are reported on the relative absorption intensity distribution in the FIR spectra of HCl dissolved in liquefied Ar, Kr, and Xe at several temperatures along the liquid—vapour coexistence curve. These are treated further by applying a previously developed quantum-statistical spectral theory, which accounts for the line mixing and memory effects. Theoretical spectra are given in terms of the anisotropic potential time autocorrelation functions obtained from classical MD simulations using several empirical analytical potentials with density-adjusted well depths. Globally fair agreement between the theoretical and experimental spectra is demonstrated, except in the high frequency wings, where the theory underestimates the observed intensities. The choice of a particular radial form for the anisotropic HCl/RG potentials is found to be not critical for reproducing the experimental absorption profiles.

Experimental and theoretical study of the structure and vibrational spectra of valpromide,C7H15CONH2

In this work, we present results of the conformational and vibrational properties of valpromide (Vpd), an amide with antiepileptic activity, studied by IR and Raman spectroscopy at 300 and 77 K, and 300 K, respectively. Experimental data are compared against ab initio calculations performed at B3LYP level with the inclusion of solvatation effects. Experimental results, reinforced by theoretical calculations, point out that Vpd has three conformers on the potential energy surface, with different structures that can be identified in the CO and NH spectral regions. These conformers are defined by different angular arrays of the dihedral angles formed with the CO, C N and C〈 H, C C of the aliphatic chain bonds. The existence of different conformations and structures are discussed on the basis of results derived from electronic localization function (ELF) and natural orbital bond (NBO) analysis.

Energy spectra of the stable boundary layer: A theoretical model

Summary A derivation of spectral energy functions for stable atmospheric boundary layers is presented for a local similarity regime. Previous studies of this nocturnal atmospheric conditions were usually carried through purely kinematic modellizations. In this study, the atmospheric turbulence energy content is derived from a dynamical viewpoint. This is achieved through the use of the energy balance relation obtained by Rotta from Navier-Stokes equations. The result is an appropriate physical rooting of the spectral energy curves known as Kaimal’s Isopleths. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.

A theoretical study of the npk configurations

An up-to-date picture of the known np² and np³ configurations is presented by plotting the reduced energy ? against ψ = ξ_p/(5F₂ + ξ_p) according to Edlén. It is concluded that the p² level values of S XI, Sc XVI, Ti XVII, V XVIII, Ni XV and Te III, and the p³ level values of Al VII, Si VIII, P IX, Cl X, Se II and Xe IV need to be improved. Edlén's (1972) work on n = 2 and Svensson's (1971) work on n = 3 give a very satisfactory fit to our ψ-? graphs. The (F₂ - ξ_p) V_sψ graphs enable us to study coupling variations along the same and different isoelectronic sequences.The Z-dependence of the ground intervals 4s² 4p⁴ have been studied theoretically for the first time. The level values are represented, within less than 0.2% error, by semi-empirical formulae having 3–5 adjusted parameters and are based on data obtained from laboratory observations. The results provide means for checking laboratory and astrophycial identifications and measurements.

Spectral-statistics properties of the experimental and theoretical light meson spectra

We present a robust analysis of the spectral fluctuations exhibited by the light meson spectrum. This analysis provides information about the degree of chaos in light mesons and may be useful to get some insight on the underlying interactions. Our analysis unveils that the statistical properties of the light meson spectrum are close, but not exactly equal, to those of chaotic systems. In addition, we have analyzed several theoretical spectra including the latest lattice QCD calculation. With a single exception, their statistical properties are close to those of a generic integrable system, and thus incompatible with the experimental spectrum.     

Addition of sulfenic acids to monosubstituted acetylenes: a theoretical and experimental study

The reaction of benzenesulfenic acid, generated in situ by thermal decomposition of 3‐(phenylsulfinyl)propanenitrile, with monosubstituted acetylenes was experimentally and theoretically investigated at the DFT level using the MPW1B95 density functional. A computational model based on the Hard Soft Acid Base (HSAB) principle was evaluated for its ability to qualitatively and quantitatively predict the regioselectivity, while kinetics and thermodynamics of the reaction were studied through the analysis of the reaction paths leading to the possible regioisomers.

A theoretical investigation of the effect of water on the structure and fluorescence spectra of L-tryptophan

Fluorescence spectra of two long-wavelength electron transitions S₀ ← ¹L_b and S₀ ← ¹L_a in uncharged and zwitterionic forms of L-tryptophan (Trp) in aqueous solution and in the complex of Trp with water molecule were calculated using the Frank–Condon approximation. Geometric parameters of Trp in electronically excited states were determined, and the vibrational structure of vibronic spectra was analyzed. It was shown that the relative position of structural fragments of alanine (R-Ala) and indole (R-In) could have a determining effect on the fluorescence and formation of the vibrational structure of electronic spectra. The increase of the rotation angle between the R-Ala and R-In, which depends on the Trp environment, results in the Trp fluorescence originating only from the singlet excited state ¹L_a.
