Polarised IR-microscope spectra of guanidinium hydrogensulphate single crystal

Polarised IR-microscope spectra of C(NH(2))(3)*HSO(4) small single crystal samples were measured at room temperature. The spectra are discussed on the basis of oriented gas model approximation and group theory. The stretching nuOH vibration of the hydrogen bond with the Ocdots, three dots, centeredO distance of 2.603A gives characteristic broad AB-type absorption in the IR spectra. The changes of intensity of the AB bands in function of polariser angle are described. Detailed assignments for bands derived from stretching and bending modes of sulphate anions and guanidinium cations were performed. The observed intensities of these bands in polarised infrared spectra were correlated with theoretical calculation of directional cosines of selected transition dipole moments for investigated crystal. The vibrational studies seem to be helpful in understanding of physical and chemical properties of described compound and also in design of new complexes with exactly defined behaviors.     

Distinguishing and identifying hydrogens in an NH3 group by I.R. spectroscopy

Combined low temperature isotopic dilution and polarized i.r. measurements have been performed on single crystal specimens of sulfamic acid, ⁺H₃NSO₃⁻, containing 5% D with respect to H. The three isotropically isolated νND bands observed in these spectra at 2302.5, 2313 and 2324 cm⁻¹ were polarized along different crystallograpkic axes, which allowed to assign them to specific hydrogen positions in the crystal and in the NH₃ groups. Comparison of neutron diffraction and vibrational frequency data shows that, despite the differences in NHO hydrogen angles, of all the geometric parameters the N⋯O distance only seems to correlate with the isolated N-D stretching frequencies.

Polarized infrared spectroscopic study on changes in molecular orientation and interaction during phase transitions of a ferroelectric liquid crystal with a naphthalene ring

Temperature-dependent polarized infrared spectra were measured over the temperature range 105-30°C for a ferroelectric liquid crystal with a naphthalene ring (FLC-1) in the isotropic, smectic A (SmA), and chiral smectic C (SmC*) phases to investigate its molecular conformation, interactions, and alignment in each phase. It has been found, from the temperaturedependent spectral changes in the 1610-1600 cm^-1 region, that the degree of twist between the naphthalene and benzene rings of FLC-1 changes with temperature. The peak intensity of the band at 1606 cm^-1 containing contributions from both the benzene and naphthalene ring stretching modes begins to decrease, not suddenly but gradually, upon going from the SmA phase to the SmC* phase, suggesting that the molecular orientation of the two rings changes gradually between the two phases. The frequencies of two CH₂ stretching bands suggest that the disorder of the alkyl chain of FLC-1 is similar for the liquid crystal phase and the isotropic liquid phase. The splitting of the core C=O stretching band indicates that the resonance system consisting of the benzene ring and the C=O group in the core part of FLC-1 is involved in two kinds of intermolecular interaction between adjacent molecules in the liquid crystal phase.

Raman spectroscopic study of the molecular structure of the uranyl mineral zippeite from Jáchymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic

Raman spectra at 298 and 77K and infrared spectra of the uranyl sulfate mineral zippeite from Jáchymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic, K(0.6)(H(3)O)0.4[(UO(2))6(SO(4))3(OH)7].8H2O, were studied. Observed bands were tentatively attributed to the (UO(2))2+ and (SO(4))2- stretching and bending vibrations, the OH stretching vibrations of water molecules, hydroxyls and oxonium ions, and H(2)O, oxonium, and delta U-OH bending vibrations. Empirical relations were used for the calculation of U-O bond lengths in uranyl R (A)=f(nu(3) or nu(1)(UO(2))2+). Calculated U-O bond lengths are in agreement with U-O bond lengths from the single crystal structure analysis and those inferred for uranyl anion sheet topology of uranyl pentagonal dipyramidal coordination polyhedra. The number of observed bands supports the conclusion from single crystal structure analysis that at least two symmetrically distinct U6+ (in uranyls) and S6+ (in sulfates), water molecules and hydroxyls may be present in the crystal structure of the zippeite studied. Strong to very weak hydrogen bonds present in the crystal structure of zippeite studied were inferred from the IR spectra.     

IR, 1H NMR, mass, XRD and TGA/DTA investigations on the ciprofloxacin/iodine charge-transfer complex

Raman and infrared spectra of two polymorphous minerals with the chemical formula Fe3+(SO4)(OH)·2H2O, monoclinic butlerite and orthorhombic parabutlerite, are studied and the spectra assigned. Observed bands are attributed to the (SO4)2- stretching and bending vibrations, hydrogen bonded water molecules, stretching and bending vibrations of hydroxyl ions, water librational modes, Fe-O and Fe-OH stretching vibrations, Fe-OH bending vibrations and lattice vibrations. The O-H?O hydrogen bond lengths in the structures of both minerals are calculated from the wavenumbers of the stretching vibrations. One symmetrically distinct (SO4)2- unit in the structure of butlerite and two symmetrically distinct (SO4)2- units in the structure of parabutlerite are inferred from the Raman and infrared spectra. This conclusion agrees with the published crystal structures of both mineral phases.

Molecular dynamics simulation of liquid methanol. II. Unified assignment of infrared, Raman, and sum frequency generation vibrational spectra in methyl C-H stretching region

Vibrational spectra of methyl C-H stretching region are notoriously complicated, and thus a theoretical method of systematic assignment is strongly called for in condensed phase. Here we develop a unified analysis method of the vibrational spectra, such as infrared (IR), polarized and depolarized Raman, and ssp polarized sum frequency generation (SFG), by flexible and polarizable molecular dynamics simulation. The molecular model for methanol has been developed by charge response kernel model to allow for analyzing the methyl C-H stretching vibrations. The complicated spectral structure by the Fermi resonance has been unraveled by empirically shifting potential parameters, which provides clear information on the coupling mechanism. The analysis confirmed that for the IR, polarized Raman, and SFG spectra, two-band structure at about 2830 and 2950 cm(-1) results from the Fermi resonance splitting of the methyl C-H symmetric stretching and bending overtones. In the IR spectrum, the latter, higher-frequency band is overlapped with prominent asymmetric C-H stretching bands. In the depolarized Raman spectrum, the high frequency band at about 2980 cm(-1) is assigned to the asymmetric C-H stretching mode. In the SFG spectrum, the two bands of the splitted symmetric C-H stretching mode have negative amplitudes of imaginary nonlinear susceptibility χ(2), while the higher-frequency band is partly cancelled by positive imaginary components of asymmetric C-H stretching modes.     

Structural and polarized vibrational studies of pentacaesium trihydrogentetraselenate monohydrate

Polarized IR and Raman spectra of single crystal were measured at room and at low temperature. The polarized IR spectra were measured by transmission and specular reflection method. The IR-microscope was used for vibrational measurement of small monocrystals. Assignment of the bands is proposed on the basis of oriented gas model approximation. The polarized vibrational spectra are discussed in relation to the crystal structure and possible proton conductivity and phase transition.     

Raman spectroscopic study of the uranyl minerals vanmeersscheite U(OH)4[(UO2)3(PO4)2(OH)2].4H2O and arsenouranylite Ca(UO2)[(UO2)3(AsO4)2(OH)2].(OH)2.6H2O

Raman and infrared spectra of secondary uranyl phosphate vanmeersscheite and Raman spectrum of secondary uranyl arsenate arsenuranylite were recorded and interpreted, and the spectra related to the structure of the minerals. Observed bands were attributed to the stretching and bending vibrations of uranyl, phosphate and/or arsenate units and OH (H(2)O and OH(-)) units. Phosphuranylite sheet topology is characteristic for both minerals. U-O bond lengths in uranyl were calculated from the spectra and compared with those inferred for vanmeersscheite from the X-ray single crystal structure analysis. O-H...O hydrogen bonds in both minerals were also inferred using the Libowitzky empirical relation.     

Low-temperature FTIR spectra and hydrogen bonds in polycrystalline adenosine and uridine

FTIR spectra of polycrystalline samples of adenosine and uridine, pure and containing small (<10%) quantity of N(O)H or N(O)D groups, were measured in KBr pellets from 4000 to 400 cm(-1) at temperatures from 300 to 20 K. For the first time, the bands of narrow isotopically decoupled proton stretching vibration nu1 mode of NH- and OH- groups were found and assigned to ordered hydrogen bonds according to crystal structural data for both nucleosides. The FTIR adenosine spectra in the out-of-plane bending proton nu4 mode range (lower than 1000 cm(-1)) of N(O)H groups revealed at low temperature at least twice more bands, than in the nu1 range, which are influenced by isotopic exchange and (or) cooling. Almost all of them have their counterparts in the N(O)D substance spectrum with an isotopic frequency ratio of 1.30-1.40. These bands were assigned to the differently H-bound disordered NH and OH protons, which could not be seen with crystal structural methods. The energy and length of different H-bonds were estimated from peak positions of both mode bands (as the red shift of nu1 or blue shift of nu4 relatively free molecules) with well-established empirical correlations between spectral, thermodynamic and structural parameters of hydrogen bonds. The results were compared with independent experimental data.     

Polarised IR and Raman spectra of the gamma-glycine single crystal

Complete (full) set of the polarised IR and Raman spectra for the gamma-glycine single crystal at room temperature are presented. The polarised IR spectra were measured by the specular reflection method and the spectra of the imaginary parts of the refractive indices were computed by Kramers-Kronig transformation. The polarised properties of the bands are discussed with respect to the normal coordinate analysis (literature data) and diffraction crystal data (oriented gas model approximation). A very good agreement between the polarised properties of the bands and simple models of vibrations are observed for the stretching vibrations of the CH2 and COO- group. It is not the case for most of the deformation vibrations of the carboxylic group and of the skeleton. The polarization properties of the stretching vibrations of the NH3+ group are determined by their hydrogen bondings.     

Low temperature FTIR spectra and hydrogen bonds in polycrystalline cytidine

FTIR spectra of polycrystalline samples of cytidine, pure and containing a small quantity of N(O)H or N(O)D groups (<20%), were measured in KBr pellets from 4000 to 400 cm(-1) at temperatures from 300 to 20K. For the first time the bands of the narrow isotopically decoupled proton stretching vibration mode (nu(1)) of OH- and NH- groups were found; their number corresponds to the number of H-bonds in crystal according to structural data. The FTIR spectra at low temperature in the out-of-plane bending nu(4) proton mode range (lower than 1000 cm(-1)) of N(O)H groups revealed narrow bands, which correspond to nu(1) bands together with several "extra" bands, which are influenced by the isotopic exchange and (or) cooling. All of them have their counterparts in the N(O)D-substance spectrum with an isotopic frequency ratio of 1.30-1.40. The "extra" bands are assigned to the H-bound OH and NH protons, which are disordered and cannot be seen with X-ray crystal structure analysis. The peak positions of both mode bands (expressed as the red shift of nu(1) or blue shift of nu(4) modes relatively free molecules) were used for the estimation of the energy of different H-bonds using previously established empirical correlations between spectral and thermodynamic parameters of hydrogen bonds. The correlation of the red shift and H-bond length is also confirmed for all five H-bonds of cytidine.     

Time-domain calculations of the polarized Raman spectra, the transient infrared absorption anisotropy, and the extent of delocalization of the OH stretching mode of liquid water

The polarized Raman spectrum and the time dependence of the transient infrared (TRIR) absorption anisotropy are calculated for the OH stretching mode of liquid water (neat liquid H2O) by using time-domain formulations, which include the effects of both the diagonal frequency modulations (of individual oscillators) induced by the interactions between the dipole derivatives and the intermolecular electric field, and the off-diagonal (intermolecular) vibrational coupling described by the transition dipole coupling (TDC) mechanism. The IR spectrum of neat liquid H2O and the TRIR anisotropy of a liquid mixture of H2O/HDO/D2O are also calculated. It is shown that the calculated features of these optical signals, including the temperature dependence of the polarized Raman and IR spectra, are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the frequency separation between the isotropic and anisotropic components of the polarized Raman spectrum and the rapid decay (approximately 0.1 ps) of the TRIR anisotropy of the OH stretching mode of neat liquid H2O are mainly controlled by the resonant intermolecular vibrational coupling described by the TDC mechanism. Comparing with the time evolution of vibrational excitations, it is suggested that the TRIR anisotropy decays in the time needed for the initially localized vibrational excitations to delocalize over a few oscillators. It is also shown that the enhancement of the dipole derivatives by the interactions with surrounding molecules is an important factor in generating the spectral profiles of the OH stretching Raman band. The time-domain behavior of the molecular motions that affect the spectroscopic features is discussed.     

Raman and FTIR spectra of [Cu(H2O)6](BrO3)2 and [Al(H2O)6](BrO3)3 x 3H2O

Raman and FTIR spectra of [Cu(H2O)6](BrO3)2 and [Al(H2O)6](BrO3)3 x 3H2O are recorded and analyzed. The observed bands are assigned on the basis of BrO3- and H2O vibrations. Additional bands obtained in the region of v3 and v1 modes in [Cu(H2O)6](BrO3)2 are due to the lifting of degeneracy of v3 modes, since the BrO3- ion occupies a site of lower symmetry. The appearance v1 mode of BrO3- anion at a lower wavenumber (771 cm(-1)) is attributed to the attachment of hydrogen to the BrO3- anion. The presence of three inequivalent bromate groups in the [Al(H2O)6](BrO3)3 x 3H2O structure is confirmed. The lifting of degeneracy of v4 mode indicates that the symmetry of BrO3- anion is lowered in the above crystal from C3v to C1. The appearance of additional bands in the stretching and bonding mode regions of water indicates the presence of hydrogen bonds of different strengths in both the crystals. Temperature dependent Raman spectra of single crystal [Cu(H2O)6](BrO3)2 are recorded in the range 77-523 K for various temperatures. A small structural rearrangement takes place in BrO3- ion in the crystal at 391 K. Hydrogen bounds in the crystal are rearranging themselves leading to the loss of one water molecule at 485 K. This is preceded by the reorientation of BrO3- ions causing a phase transition at 447 K. Changes in intensities and wavenumbers of the bands and the narrowing down of the bands at 77 K are attributed to the settling down of protons into ordered positions in the crystal.     

Infrared spectra of the hydrogen bond in pimelic acid crystals: polarization and temperature effects.

This paper deals with the polarized IR spectra of the hydrogen bond in pimelic acid crystals and their quantitative interpretation. The spectra were measured for the vO-H and vO-D band frequency regions, at temperatures of 298 and 77 K, for the 'alpha' crystalline form of pimelic acid. Two kinds of transmission spectra were obtained, for the beam perpendicular to the two different crystalline faces: 'ac' and 'ab'. The spectra of the hydrogen and the deuterium bonded systems were quantitatively reproduced, with sufficient accuracy, on the basis of the 'strong-coupling' model, assuming the (COOH)2 cycles to be the structural units responsible for the basic spectral properties. It was found that the spectra could be reproduced only, when assuming spectral activity in the IR of the totally symmetric proton stretching vibrations in centrosymmetric cyclic dimers of hydrogen bonds. The polarization effects in the crystal spectra were interpreted as directly connected with the hydrogen bond orientation in the crystal. However, in the pimelic acid crystalline spectra there were not observed another polarization effects characteristic for another carboxylic acid crystals, depending on differentiation of the long- and of the short-wave branch properties of each of the vO-H and vO-D bands. The temperature variation only affect the intensity ratio between the lower- and the higher-frequency branches of the vO-H and vO-D bands. These spectral effects were ascribed to less strained hydrogen bond structures in the pimelic acid lattices of the alpha' crystalline form and a relatively low concentration of defects in the lattices.     

Effect of pressure on the vibrational structure of insensitive energetic material 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-one

The Raman spectra of alpha form 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-one (alpha-NTO, space group P) were measured in a high-pressure vessel diamond anvil cell (DAC). The pressure was increased to 27.6 GPa. In general, Raman bands show a blue shift because of the nature of the molecule packing as a high-pressure effect, but some particular bands exhibited a red shift, disappearance, split, or slight shifting in our experiments. Those red-shifting bands concerning hydrogen bonds, i.e., carbonyl and amino groups, are likely to work as a stabilizer against stimuli to the molecule or crystal. This stabilizing nature might characterize the insensitivity of NTO. Molecular dynamic (MD) calculations were performed to reveal the high-pressure effect of the alpha-NTO crystal. The coordinates of individual atoms in the crystal structure were obtained using X-ray diffraction analysis. The pressure dependence of the power spectra of the correlation functions of the C=O bond length in NTO was calculated. A unique high-pressure effect of the alpha-NTO crystal was found on the power spectra. The peak frequency in the power spectrum of the C=O stretching vibration exhibited a red shift with an increase in pressure to 10.0 GPa, while the peak intensity considerably decreased under the same pressure process, because this bond length increased with an increase in pressure to 10.0 GPa. At a pressure of >20.0 GPa, a blue shift appeared. These results of the MD calculations are in good agreement with our experimental data.     

Raman spectra of gas hydrates--differences and analogies to ice 1h and (gas saturated) water

It is generally accepted that Raman spectroscopic investigations of gas hydrates provide vital information regarding the structure of the hydrate, hydrate composition and cage occupancies, but most research is focused on the vibrational spectra of the guest molecules. We show that the shape and position of the Raman signals of the host molecules (H(2)O) also contain useful additional information. In this study, Raman spectra (200-4000 cm(-1)) of (mixed) gas hydrates with variable compositions and different structures are presented. The bands in the OH stretching region (3000-3800 cm(-1)), the O-H bending region (1600-1700 cm(-1)) and the O-O hydrogen bonded stretching region (100-400 cm(-1)) are compared with the corresponding bands in Raman spectra of ice Ih and liquid water. The interpretation of the differences and similarities with respect to the crystal structure and possible interactions between guest and host molecules are presented.
