Far-IR spectrum,conformation stability,barriers to internal rotation,vibrational assignment,and ab initio calculations of 3-chloro-2-methylpropene

The far-IR spectrum from 375 to 30 cm⁻¹ of gaseous 3-chloro-2-methylpropene, CH₂=C(CH₃)CH₂Cl, has been recorded at a resolution of 0.10 cm⁻¹. The fundamental asymmetric torsional mode for the gauche conformer is observed at 84.3 cm⁻¹ with three excited states falling to lower frequency. For the higher energy s-cis conformer, where the chlorine atom eclipses the double bond, the asymmetric torsion is observed at 81.3 cm⁻¹ with two excited states falling to lower frequency. Utilizing the s-cis and gauche torsional frequencies, the gauche dihedral angle and the enthalpy difference between conformers, the potential function governing the interconversion of the rotamers has been calculated. The determined potential function coefficients are (in reciprocal centimeters): V₁=189±12, V₂=−358±11, V₃=886±2 and V₄=−12±2 with an enthalpy difference between the more stable gauche and s-cis conformers of 150 ±25 cm⁻¹ (430 ± 71 cal mol⁻¹). This function gives values of 661 cm⁻¹ (1.89 kcal mol⁻¹), 1226 cm⁻¹ (3.51 kcal mol⁻¹) and 812 cm⁻¹ (2.32 kcal mol⁻¹), for the s-cis to gauche, gauche to gauche, and gauche to s-cis barriers, respectively. From the methyl torsional frequency of 170 cm⁻¹ for the gauche conformer, the threefold barrier of 678 cm⁻¹ (1.94 kcal mol⁻¹) has been calculated. The asymmetric potential function, conformational energy difference and optimized geometries of both conformers have also been obtained from ab initio calculations with both the 3–21G^* and 6–31G^* basis sets. A normal-coordinate analysis has also been performed with a force field determined from the 3–21G^* basis set. These data are compared with the corresponding data for some similar molecules.     

Cold-Resistant Nitrogen/Sulfur Dual-Doped Graphene Fiber Supercapacitors with Solar–Thermal Energy Conversion Effect

Although graphene fiber-based supercapacitors are promising for wearable electronic devices, the low energy density of electrodes and poor cold resistance of aqueous electrolytes limit their wide application in cold environments. Herein, porous nitrogen/sulfur dual-doped graphene fibers (NS-GFs) are synthesized by hydrothermal self-assembly followed by thermal annealing, exhibiting an excellent capacitive performance of 401 F cm⁻³ at 400 mA cm⁻³ because of the synergistic effect of heteroatom dual-doping. The assembled symmetric all-solid-state supercapacitor with polyvinyl alcohol/H₂SO₄/graphene oxide gel electrolyte exhibits a high capacitance of 221 F cm⁻³ and a high energy density of 7.7 mWh cm⁻³ at 80 mA cm⁻³. Interestingly, solar–thermal energy conversion of the electrolyte with 0.1 wt % graphene oxide extends the operating temperature range of the supercapacitor to 0 °C. Furthermore, the photocatalysis effect of the dual-doped heteroatoms increases the capacitance of NS-GFs. At an ambient temperature of 0 °C, the capacitance increases from 0 to 182 F cm⁻³ under 1 sun irradiation because of the excellent solar light absorption and efficient solar–thermal energy conversion of graphene oxide, preventing the aqueous electrolyte from freezing. The flexible supercapacitor exhibits a long cycle life, good bending resistance, reliable scalability, and ability to power visual electronics, showing great potential for outdoor electronics in cold environments.     

Fourier transform and high sensitivity cw-cavity ringdown absorption spectroscopies of ozone in the 6030–6130 cm−1 region. First observation and analysis of the 3ν1+3ν3 and 2ν2+5ν3 bands

The absorption spectrum of ¹⁶O₃ has been recorded between 6030 and 6130 cm⁻¹ by Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (GSMA, Reims) and cw-cavity ringdown spectroscopy (LSP, Grenoble). The two new bands 3ν₁+3ν₃ and 2ν₂+5ν₃ centered at 6063.923 and 6124.304 cm⁻¹, respectively are observed and analyzed. Rovibrational transitions with J and K_a values up to 40 and 10, respectively, could be assigned. The rovibrational fitting of the observed energy levels shows that some rotational levels of the (303) and (025) bright states are perturbed by interaction with the (232), (510) and (124) dark states. The observed energy levels could be reproduced with a rms deviation of 5×10⁻³ cm⁻¹ using a global analysis based on an effective Hamiltonian including the five interacting states. The energy values of the three dark vibrational states provided by the fit are found in good agreement with theoretical predictions.The parameters of the resulting effective Hamiltonian and of the transition moment operator retrieved from the measured absolute line intensities allowed calculating a complete line list of 2035 transitions, available as Supplementary Material. The integrated band strengths are estimated to be 1.22×10⁻²⁴ and 3.15×10⁻²⁴ cm⁻¹/(mol cm⁻²) at 296 K for the 3ν₁+3ν₃ and 2ν₂+5ν₃ bands, respectively. A realistic error for these band strengths is 15% (see text).     

Combined microwave-optical barrier determination for molecules with a heavy symmetric internal top: CF3NO and CF3CHO

The torsional data for CF₃NO have been rein vest igated. A model with a single degree of freedom and three adjustable parameters is sufficient to fit data to v = 8 in the electronic ground state. For CF₃NO we obtain F_o = 1.9822(42) cm⁻¹, V₃ = 238.4(1.6) cm⁻¹ and V₆ = −5.8(1.6) cm⁻¹ or F_o = 1.9894(66) cm⁻¹,F₃= −0.194(55) cm⁻¹ and V₃ = 239.3(1.9) cm⁻¹. A similar treatment for CF₃CHO gives F_o = 1.97(14) cm⁻¹, V₃ = 305(25) cm⁻¹ and V₆ = −8.7(1.2) cm⁻¹. A need for a re-examination of the torsional fundamental is indicated for CF₃CHO. These studies support the general conclusion that for a heavy internal top the internal rotation constant, F_o, required to fit a range of torsional splittings is different from that calculated from structural considerations alone. The difference indicates a large change in F with torsional averaging.     

In Situ Growth of Hierarchical Ni-Mn-O Solid Solution on a Flexible and Porous Ni Electrode for High-Performance All-Solid-State Asymmetric Supercapacitors

To endow all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors with high energy density, cycling stability, and flexibility, we design a binder-free supercapacitor electrode by in situ growth of well-distributed broccoli-like Ni_0.75Mn_0.25O/C solid solution arrays on a flexible and three-dimensional Ni current collector (3D-Ni). The electrode consists of a bottom layer of compressed but still porous Ni foam with excellent flexibility and high electrical conductivity, an intermediate layer of interconnected Ni nanoparticles providing a large specific surface area for loading of active substances, and a top layer of vertically aligned mesoporous nanosheets of a Ni_0.75Mn_0.25O/C solid solution. The resultant 3D-Ni/Ni_0.75Mn_0.25O/C cathode exhibits a specific capacitance of 1657.6 mF cm⁻² at 1 mA cm⁻² and shows no degradation of the capacitance after 10 000 cycles at 3 mA cm⁻². The assembled 3D-Ni/Ni_0.75Mn_0.25O/C//activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor has a high specific capacitance of 797.7 mF cm⁻² at 2 mA cm⁻² and an excellent cycling stability with 85.3 % of capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles at a current density of 3 mA cm⁻². The energy density and power density of the asymmetric supercapacitor are up to 6.6 mW h cm⁻³ and 40.8 mW cm⁻³, respectively, indicating a fairly promising future of the flexible 3D-Ni/Ni_0.75Mn_0.25O/C electrode for efficient energy storage applications.     

FT-Raman and infrared spectra,r0 structural parameters,ab initio calculations and vibrational assignment for nitryl chloride

The FT-Raman spectra (2000-30 cm⁻¹) of liquid and solid nitryl chloride, ClNO₂, along with the infrared spectra (2000-80 cm⁻¹) of the gas and solid have been recorded. All six fundamentals are confidently identified and the potential energy distributions determined from the force fields obtained from ab initio calculations. Several different basis sets have been utilized to determine the harmonic frequencies and force constants which are compared to the previously reported valence force constants. Structural parameters have been calculated with these basis sets including electron correlation with MP2, MP3 and MP4 perturbation. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters are compared to the experimental r₀ structural parameters. The spectra of the solid indicate that there are at least two molecules per primitive cell. All of these results are compared to the corresponding quantities for some similar molecules.     

Enhanced Supercapacitor Performance Using a Co3O4@Co3S4 Nanocomposite on Reduced Graphene Oxide/Ni Foam Electrodes

To avoid an enormous energy crisis in the not-too-distant future, it be emergent to establish high-performance energy storage devices such as supercapacitors. For this purpose, a three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure of Co₃O₄ and Co₃S₄ on nickel foam (NF) that is covered by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been prepared by following a facile multistep method. At first, rGO nanosheets are deposited on NF under mild hydrothermal conditions to increase the surface area. Subsequently, nanowalls of cobalt oxide are electro-deposited on rGO/Ni foam by applying cyclic-voltammetry (CV) under optimized conditions. Finally, for the synthesis of Co₃O₄@Co₃S₄ nanocomposite, the nanostructure of Co₃S₄ was fabricated from Co₃O₄ nanowalls on rGO/NF by following an ordinary hydrothermal process through the sulfurization for the electrochemical application. The samples are characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained sample delivers a high capacitance of 13.34 F cm⁻² (5651.24 F g⁻¹) at a current density of 6 mA cm⁻² compared to the Co₃O₄/rGO/NF electrode with a capacitance of 3.06 F cm⁻² (1230.77 F g⁻¹) at the same current density. The proposed electrode illustrates the superior electrochemical performance such as excellent specific energy density of 85.68 W h Kg⁻¹, specific power density of 6048.03 W kg⁻¹ and a superior cycling performance (86% after 1000 charge/discharge cycles at a scan rate of 5 mV s⁻¹). Finally, by using Co₃O₄ @Co₃S₄/rGO/NF and the activated carbon-based electrode as positive and negative electrodes, respectively, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was assembled. The fabricated ASC provides an appropriate specific capacitance of 79.15 mF cm⁻² at the applied current density of 1 mA cm⁻², and delivered an energy density of 0.143 Wh kg⁻¹ at the power density of 5.42 W kg⁻¹.     

Enhanced Energy Density of Coaxial Fiber Asymmetric Supercapacitor Based on MoS2@Fe2O3/Carbon Nanotube Paper and Ni(OH)2@NiCo2O4/Carbon Nanotube Fiber Electrodes

Fiber supercapacitors are promising energy storage devices for potential application in wearable and miniaturized portable electronics, which currently suffer from difficulties in achieving high capacitance and energy density synchronously owing to the limited specific surface area of the electrode materials and material incompatibility between the two electrodes. Herein, a strategy is developed for the manufacture of coaxial asymmetric fiber supercapacitors by wrapping a core of PVA-KOH gel electrolyte-coated Ni(OH)₂@NiCo₂O₄/CNT fibers with MoS₂@Fe₂O₃/CNT paper. The as-prepared coaxial fiber asymmetric supercapacitors exhibit a specific capacitance of 373 mF cm⁻² (at a current density of 2 mA cm⁻²) and energy density of 0.13 mW h cm⁻² (at a power density of 3.2 mW cm⁻²), and also show good rate capability, long cycle life, and excellent flexibility. This work provides the possibility for the practical application of fiber supercapacitors in wearable and portable energy storage equipment.     

Hierarchical Mn3O4 Anchored on 3D Graphene Aerogels via C−O−Mn Linkage with Superior Electrochemical Performance for Flexible Asymmetric Supercapacitor

Flexible asymmetric supercapacitors are more appealing in flexible electronics because of high power density, wide cell voltage, and higher energy density than symmetric supercapacitors in aqueous electrolyte. In virtues of excellent conductivity, rich porous structure and interconnected honeycomb structure, three dimensional graphene aerogels show great potential as electrode in asymmetric supercapacitors. However, graphene aerogels are rarely used in flexible asymmetric supercapacitors because of easily re-stacking of graphene sheets, resulting in low electrochemical activity. Herein, flower-like hierarchical Mn₃O₄ and carbon nanohorns are incorporated into three dimensional graphene aerogels to restrain the stack of graphene sheets, and are applied as the positive and negative electrode for asymmetric supercapacitors devices, respectively. Besides, a strong chemical coupling between Mn₃O₄ and graphene via the C-O-Mn linkage is constructed and can provide a good electron-transport pathway during cycles. Consequently, the asymmetric supercapacitor device shows high rate cycle stability (87.8 % after 5000 cycles) and achieves a high energy density of 17.4 μWh cm⁻² with power density of 14.1 mW cm⁻² (156.7 mW cm⁻³) at 1.4 V.     

Far-infrared spectra and barriers to internal rotation of ethyl nitrate

The far-infrared spectra of gaseous and solid ethyl nitrate, CH₃CH₂ONO₂, have been recorded from 500 to 50 cm⁻¹. The fundamental asymmetric torsion of the trans conformer which has a heavy atom plane has been observed at 112.50 cm⁻¹ with two excited states failing to lower frequencies, and the corresponding fundamental torsion of the gauche conformer was observed at 109.62 cm⁻¹ with two excited states also falling to lower frequencies. The results of a variable temperature Raman study indicate that the trans conformer is more stable than the gauche conformer by 328 ± 96 cm⁻¹ (938 ± 275 cal mol⁻¹). An asymmetric potential function governing the internal rotation about the CH₂O bond is reported which gives a trans to gauche barrier of 894 ± 15 cm⁻¹ (2.56 ± 0.04 kcal mol⁻¹) and a gauche to gauche barrier of 3063 ± 68 cm⁻¹ (8.76 ± 0.20 kcal mol⁻¹) with the trans conformer more stable by 220 ± 148 cm⁻¹ (0.63 ± 0.42 kcal mol⁻¹). Transitions arising from the symmetric CH₃ and NO₂ torsions are observed for both conformers, from which the threefold and twofold periodic barriers to internal rotation have been calculated. For the trans conformer the values are 1002 cm⁻¹ (2.87 kcal mol⁻¹) and 2355 ± 145 cm⁻¹ (6.73 ± 0.42 kcal mol⁻¹) and for the gauche conformer they are 981 cm⁻¹ (2.81 kcal mol⁻¹) and 2736 ± 632 cm⁻¹ (7.82 ± 1.81 kcal mol⁻¹) for the CH₃ and NO₂ rotors, respectively. These results are compared to the corresponding quantities for some similar molecules.     

Analysis of torsional spectra of molecules with two internal C3ν, rotors—XXVI. A far infrared study of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine

The infrared spectra of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, (CH₃)₂NNH₂, and two isotopomers, (CD₃)₂NNH₂ and (CH₃)₂NND₂, have been recorded in the region between 600 and 100 cm⁻¹. Very rich and complex spectra were obtained and analysis of the data has been carried out. The interpretation of the spectra arising from the two methyl torsional modes of the −d₀ compound was carried out using a semi-rigid model, and the resulting potential function obtained is V₃₀ = 1685 ± 12 cm⁻¹ (4.82 ± 0.04 kcal mol⁻¹); V₀₃ = 1827 ± 16 cm⁻¹ (5.22 ± 0.05 kcal mol⁻¹); V₆₀ = −92±5cm⁻¹ (−0.26 ± 0.02 kcal mol⁻¹); V₀₆ = −41 ± 6cm⁻¹ (−0.12 ± 0.02 kcal mol⁻¹) and V^′₃₃ = −51 ± 5 cm⁻¹ (−0.15 ± 0.01 kcal mol⁻¹). Ab initio gradient calculations were carried out employing the 3–21G and 6–31G* basis sets, as well as the 6–31G* basis set with electron correlation at the MP2 level. The structural parameters, conformational stability, and three-fold barriers to internal rotation have been determined and the gauche conformer is calculated to be more stable than the trans form by 783 cm⁻¹ (2.24 kcal mol⁻¹) with the MP2/6–31G* basis set. These calculations were also used to re-evaluate the previously reported assignment of the fundamental modes, and to obtain a potential function for the asymmetric torsion. All of these results are discussed and compared with corresponding quantities for some similar compounds.     

Asymmetric torsional potential function and conformational analysis of furfural by far infrared and Raman spectroscopy

The far i.r. (400-50 cm⁻¹) spectra of gaseous and solid furfural (2-furancarboxaldehyde), c-C₄H₃O (CHO), have been recorded. Additionally, the Raman (3500-20 cm⁻¹) spectra of the gas and liquid have been obtained at variable temperatures and the spectrum of the solid at 25 K. These data have been interpreted on the basis that the molecule exists in two different conformations in the fluid states and that the conformation which has the two oxygen atoms oriented in a trans configuration, OO-trans, is most stable (ΔH ⩽ 1 kcal/mol) in the gas; however, the conformation which has the two oxygen atoms oriented cis, OO-cis, is preferred in the liquid (ΔH = 1.07 ± 0.03 kcal/mol) and is the only rotamer present in the spectra of the solid. The asymmetric torsional fundamental for the OO-trans rotamer has been observed at 146.25 cm⁻¹ in the far i.r. spectrum of the vapor and has five accompanying “hot bands”. The corresponding fundamental for the OO-cis rotamer has been observed at 127.86 cm⁻¹ along with a “hot band” which occurs at 127.46 cm⁻¹. From these data a cosine-based potential function governing internal rotation of the CHO top has been determined and the potential coefficients have values of V₁ = 173 ± 2, V₂ = 3112 ± 20, V₃ = 113 ± 2 and V₄ = −198 ± 6 cm⁻¹. This potential is consistent with an enthalpy difference between the more stable OO-trans and high energy OO-cis conformers being 286 ± 24 cm⁻¹ (818 ± 67 cal/mol) and a trans to cis barrier height of 3255 ± 20 cm⁻¹ (9.31 ± 0.06 kcal/mol). These results are compared to the corresponding quantities obtained previously from microwave spectroscopy and theoretical methods.     

Sensing the Molecular Structures of Hexan-2-one by Internal Rotation and Microwave Spectroscopy

Using two molecular jet Fourier transform spectrometers, the microwave spectrum of hexan-2-one, also called methyl n-butyl ketone, was recorded in the frequency range from 2 to 40 GHz. Three conformers were assigned and fine splittings caused by the internal rotations of the two terminal methyl groups were analyzed. For the acetyl methyl group CH₃ COC₃H₆CH₃, the torsional barrier is 186.9198(50) cm⁻¹, 233.5913(97) cm⁻¹, and 182.2481(25) cm⁻¹ for the three observed conformers, respectively. The value of this parameter could be linked to the structure of the individual conformer, which enabled us to create a rule for predicting the barrier height of the acetyl methyl torsion in ketones. The very small splittings arising from the internal rotation of the butyl methyl group CH₃COC₃H₆ CH₃ could be resolved as well, yielding the respective torsional barriers of 979.99(88) cm⁻¹, 1016.30(77) cm⁻¹, and 961.9(32) cm⁻¹.     

Far infrared spectra of methyl nitrate and methyl-d3 nitrate

The far infrared spectra from 300 to 50 cm⁻¹ of methyl nitrate, CH₃ONO₂, and methyl-d₃ nitrate, CD₃NO₂, have been recorded at a resolution of 0.12 cm⁻¹. The fundamental methyl torsional mode has been observed at 204.5 cm⁻¹ (154.2 cm⁻¹ for CD₃ONO₂) with two excited states falling to lower frequencies which gives a V₃ barrier of 980 ± 40 cm⁻¹ (2.80 ± 0.11 kcal/mol). The NO₂ torsion (methoxy) has been observed with the 1 ← 0 transition being at 133.7 cm⁻¹ (119.5 cm⁻¹ for CD₃ONO₂) and eight successive excited states falling to lower frequencies. From these data the twofold barrier to internal rotation has been calculated to be 2650 ± 75 cm⁻¹ (7.69 ± 0.21 kcal/mol).     

Structure and spectroscopic properties of Er3+ doped germanate glass for mid-infrared application

Intense 2.7 μm emission derived from modified Er³⁺ doped germanate glass was reported. Raman spectrum analysis was carried out to grasp glass structure. Based on the absorption spectrum, the Judd–Ofelt parameters and radiative properties were calculated originated from Judd–Ofelt theory. 2.7 μm emission characteristics, stark splitting features and energy transfer processes upon excitation of a conventional 808 nm or 980 nm laser diode were carefully investigated. The prepared glass possesses high spontaneous transition probability (34.28 s⁻¹), large calculated emission cross section (13 × 10⁻²¹ cm²) and gain coefficient (5.4 cm⁻¹) for the ⁴I_11/2 → ⁴I_13/2 transition. These results indicate that Er³⁺ doped germanate glass has potential applications in mid-infrared lasers and amplifiers.     

Electrical conductivity of FeCl3-doped poly(alkynylsilane)s

The electrical conductivies of the poly(alkynylsilane)s [C-SiR¹R²-CC-Z]_n (R¹R²Si = Ph₂Si, ⁿOct(Me)Si, 2,3.4,5-tetraphenyl-1-sila-2,4-cyclopentene; Z = (hetero)aromatic group) doped with FeCl₃ are found to lie in the range 10⁻⁹ < α < 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹, whereas those of the undoped polymers are less than 10⁻¹⁰ S cm⁻¹. The presence of Ph groups on Si leads to incresed conductivity.     

Molecular Ligand-Mediated Assembly of Multicomponent Nanosheet Superlattices for Compact Capacitive Energy Storage

Inspired by the self-assembly of nanoparticle superlattices, we report a general method that exploits long-chain molecular ligands to induce ordered assembly of colloidal nanosheets (NSs), resulting in 2D laminate superlattices with high packing density. Co-assembly of two types of NSs further enables 2D/2D heterostructured superlattices. As a proof of concept, co-assembly of Ti₃C₂T_x and graphene oxide (GO) NSs followed by thermal annealing leads to MXene-rGO superlattices with tunable microstructures, which exhibit significantly higher capacitance than their filtrated counterparts, delivering an ultrahigh volumetric capacitance of 1443 F cm⁻³ at 2 mV s⁻¹. Moreover, the as-fabricated binder-free symmetric supercapacitors show a high volumetric energy density of 42.1 Wh L⁻¹, which is among the best reported for MXene-based materials in aqueous electrolytes. This work paves the way toward rational design of 2D material-based superstructures for energy applications.     

Propeller-Shaped Semi-fused Porphyrin Trimers: Molecular-Symmetry-Dependent Chiroptical Response

Triple helicene-like semi-fused trimeric Ni^II porphyrins were constructed by alkyne trimerization of an ethynyl-substituted porphyrin and subsequent three-fold Grignard addition to the formyl groups and acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization. The presence of stereogenic sp³ carbons in the central bridge leads to small inter-porphyrin conjugative interactions as was revealed by electrochemical and optical properties. Two diastereomers with stable chiral conformations were optically resolved, and the separated enantiomers displayed considerably intense circular dichroism. Importantly, the chiroptical response of C₃-symmetric helical isomer (|Δϵ|=830 m ⁻¹ cm⁻¹) is 1.8 times amplified from that of C₁-symmetric one (|Δϵ|=470 m ⁻¹ cm⁻¹). The observed amplification has been interpreted in terms of different spatial arrangements of the three porphyrins.     

Rate constants and vibrational distributions for water-forming reactions of OH and OD radicals with thioacetic acid, 1,2-ethanedithiol and tert-butanethiol

Reactions of OH and OD radicals with CH₃C(O)SH, HSCH₂CH₂SH, and (CH₃)₃CSH were studied at 298 K in a fast-flow reactor by infrared emission spectroscopy of the water product molecules. The rate constants (1.3 ± 0.2) × 10⁻¹¹ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹ for the OD + CH₃C(O)SH reaction and (3.8 ± 0.7) × 10⁻¹¹ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹ for the OD + HSCH₂CH₂SH reaction were determined by comparing the HOD emission intensity to that from the OD reaction with H₂S, and this is the first measurement of these rate constants. In the same manner, using the OD + (C₂H₅)₂S reference reaction, the rate constant for the OD + (CH₃)₃CSH reaction was estimated to be (3.6 ± 0.7) × 10⁻¹¹ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹. Vibrational distributions of the H₂O and HOD molecules from the title reactions are typical for H-atom abstraction reactions by OH radicals with release of about 50% of the available energy as vibrational energy to the water molecule in a 2:1 ratio of stretch and bend modes.
