Trans-N2F2 and cis-N2F2: A green's function calculation on their photoelectron spectra

The vertical valence ionization potentials of trans-N₂F₂ and cis-N₂F₂ have been computed by a many-body Green function method. For trans-N₂F₂ the agreement with experiment is very satisfactory in general and the calculations permit an analysis and assignment of the experimental photoelectron spectrum. The ionization potentials of cis-N₂F₂ are predictions. The ordering of the ionization potential is for trans-N₂F₂ 5ag(n₊), 2a_u(π), 4b_u(n_?), 4ag, 1b_g(π), 1a_u(π), 3b_u, 3a_g, 2b_u and for cis-N₂F₂ 4b₂ (n_?), 2b₁ (π) + 5a₁(n+), 3b₂, 1a₂ (π), 1b₁(π), 4a₁, 3a₁, 2b2, n₊ and n_? denote lone pairs on the N atoms except for the 4b_u(n_?) orbital which has the largest contribution from the F atoms.     

Calculation of the HeI photoelectron spectrum of CS including satellite lines

The ionization potentials and the vibrational structure in the photoelectron spectrum of the CS molecule aer calculated using a Green's function approach. The inclusion of many-body corrections to Koopmans' theorem is necessary in order to obtain the correct ordering of the first two ionization potentials. In contrast to previous interpretations of the spectrum the third band has to be assigned to a shake-up line and the fourth to the 6σ orbital. The calculated vibrational structure is in good agreement with experiment and corroborates this assignment.     

Use of the cage formation probability for obtaining approximate phase diagrams

In this work, we introduce the idea of cage formation probability, defined by considering the angular space needed by a particle in order to leave a cage given an average distance to its neighbors. Considering extreme fluctuations, two phases appear as a function of the number of neighbors and their distances to a central one: Solid and fluid. This allows us to construct an approximated phase diagram based on a geometrical approach. As an example, we apply this probability concept to hard disks in two dimensions and hard spheres in three dimensions. The results are compared with numerical simulations using a Monte Carlo method.

Statistical properties of the energies and electric dipole moments of the bound vibrational states of the system HCO/COH

From the ab initio calculated three-dimensional adiabatic double-minimum potential energy surface of the HCO⁺/COH⁺ system and the corresponding dipole moment surface the energies of all bound vibrational states and their effective dipole moments are determined applying the Suttcliffe–Tennyson Hamiltonian for triatomic molecules. The energy and dipole data are analysed in terms of statistical methods such as the density of states approach and the nearest-neighbor level spacing distribution (NNSD). Special effort is put into investigating the effect of the tunnelling motion across the isomerization barrier on the NNSD representations.     

Analysis of iron-phytosiderophore complexes in soil related samples: LC-ESI-MS/MS versus CE-MS

Phytosiderophores (PS) form stable complexes with various transition metals. These ligands are exuded by the roots of graminacous plants as a mechanism for mobilizing and acquiring soil iron. To investigate iron mobilization and transport, a novel LC method in combination with ESI-MS/MS for the determination of three Fe(III)-complexes with mugineic acid (MA), 2'-epi-MA and 2'-deoxymugineic acid (DMA) has been developed. Liquid chromatographic separation was realized using a silica-based mixed-mode reversed phase/weak-anion exchange type stationary phase and a 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer, pH 6.5. Baseline separation of the two complex diastereomers Fe(III)-MA and Fe(III)-epi-MA could be achieved. ESI-MS/MS detection allowed for simultaneous quantification of the complexes and the free ligands. Limits of detection were determined to be 0.001 and 0.05 μM for DMA and Fe(III)-DMA, respectively. The analytical figures of merit of the novel method were evaluated and compared with a CE-ESI-MS method that we had published earlier. The LC-ESI-MS/MS method has been successfully applied to real samples derived from preliminary extraction experiments.
