The Effect of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding on the Intensity and Frequency of OH Stretching Band in Alicyclic Substances

The change in intensity and frequency of O-H stretching band upon intramolecular hydrogen bonding was sufficiently examined for various proton acceptors of many alicyclic substances. The order of proton acceptors to bring about the intensity increase of constant degree is: Some discussions are given on these.     

Organic contaminants removal by oxygen ECR plasma

Recently electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma have been explored for wafer cleaning applications, since it is known to do less damage to silicon surface than conventional plasma. Organic contaminants removal efficiency and plasma radiation damage of the ECR plasma cleaning have been investigated. In oxygen ECR plasma cleaning, the plasma exposure time needed to remove the organic contaminants on the silicon surface down to the detection limit is 40 s, but the one to reach the lowest surface roughness is 10 s. The leakage current level of the MOS capacitor made using the Si substrate exposed to oxygen ECR plasma for 40 s is 8 × 10⁻⁹ A. The optimum exposure time determined by considering the contaminants removal efficiency and the plasma radiation damage (or the leakage current level) is 40 s. Organic contaminants seem to be removed through both sputter-off mechanism by oxygen ion bombardment and evaporation mechanism by chemical reactions with excited oxygen atoms.     

The Renormalization Group and Optimization of Entropy

We illustrate the possible connection that exists between the extremal properties of entropy expressions and the renormalization group (RG) approach when applied to systems with scaling symmetry. We consider three examples: (1) Gaussian fixed-point criticality in a fluid or in the capillary-wave model of an interface; (2) Lévy-like random walks with self-similar cluster formation; and (3) long-ranged bond percolation. In all cases we find a decreasing entropy function that becomes minimum under an appropriate constraint at the fixed point. We use an equivalence between random-walk distributions and order-parameter pair correlations in a simple fluid or magnet to study how the dimensional anomaly at criticality relates to walks with long-tailed distributions.     

Theoretical analysis of trends in hydrogen bonding involving halogen acceptors (F−At) covalently bonded to a group 14 atom (C−Pb)

In this work, extensive quantum-chemical calculations have been carried out to identify and elucidate trends in the hydrogen-bonding (HB) interaction involving halogen acceptors covalently bonded to a group 14 atom. A series of 25 heterodimers composed of MH₃X (where M = C?Pb and X = F?At) and HNC molecules have been selected as model complexes stabilised by the HB interaction occurring between the X atom of MH₃X and the H atom of HNC. The interaction energy (E_int) between MH₃X and HNC in the MH₃X···HNC complexes falls in the range from ?2.7 to ?10.8 kcal/mol, indicating weak or medium strength of HB in these complexes. The strength of HB in the complexes remains consistent with the well-known HB weakening as X gets heavier. Regarding the effect of M on E_int, the gradual strengthening of HB is observed while descending group 14, but only from M = Si to M = Pb. The trends in E_int are compared with various HB-related parameters obtained from vibrational analysis, the natural bond orbital (NBO) method, the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). The parameters that present clear (possibly linear) relationships with E_int have been selected to characterise the effect of M and X on the HB interaction.     

高压液态重水的拉曼光谱研究

应用金刚石压腔结合拉曼光谱技术研究了重水在291 K,0.1～800 MPa条件下的拉曼谱图。结果表明：压力增大的过程中,重水的拉曼伸缩振动光谱向低频方向移动,并且频移和压力基本呈线性相关。频移没有突变,没有发生相的转变。将重水的拉曼谱峰分解为代表分子内O—D振动的高频峰和代表分子间氢键振动的低频峰。研究这两种不同类型谱峰的性质,发现代表分子间氢键的低频峰峰面积在不同的压力范围内呈现出不同的变化特征,压力对分子间氢键的影响并不是持续不变的。拉曼峰的峰面积反映的是产生这种拉曼峰的振动的数目,峰面积的变化反映了特征振动数目的变化。由于分子间氢键的强相互作用,水分子总是倾向于形成对称的空间五分子四面体结构,因此最大峰面积代表了最稳定的五分子团簇结构。

Theory of chemical bonds in metalloenzymes XXII: a concerted bond-switching mechanism for the oxygen–oxygen bond formation coupled with one electron transfer for water oxidation in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II

ABSTRACT

QM(UB3LYP)/MM(AMBER) calculations were performed for the locations of the transition structure (TS) of the oxygen–oxygen (O–O) bond formation in the S₄ state of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII). The natural orbital (NO) analysis of the broken-symmetry (BS) solutions was also performed to elucidate the nature of the chemical bonds at TS on the basis of several chemical indices defined by the occupation numbers of NO. The computational results revealed a concerted bond switching (CBS) mechanism for the oxygen–oxygen bond formation coupled with the one-electron transfer (OET) for water oxidation in OEC of PSII. The orbital interaction between the σ-HOMO of the Mn(IV)₄–O₍₅₎ bond and the π*-LUMO of the Mn(V)₁=O₍₆₎ bond plays an important role for the concerted O–O bond formation for water oxidation in the CaMn₄O₆ cluster of OEC of PSII. One electron transfer (OET) from the π-HOMO of the Mn(V)₁=O₍₆₎ bond to the σ*-LUMO of the Mn(IV)₄–O₍₅₎ bond occurs for the formation of electron transfer diradical, where the generated anion radical [Mn(IV)₄–O₍₅₎]^-? part is relaxed to the ?Mn(III)₄?…?O₍₅₎^- structure and the cation radical [O₍₆₎=Mn(V)₁]⁺ ? part is relaxed to the ⁺O₍₆₎–Mn(IV)₁? structure because of the charge-spin separation for the electron-and hole-doped Mn–oxo bonds. Therefore, the local spins are responsible for the one-electron reductions of Mn(IV)₄->Mn(III)₄ and Mn(V)₁->Mn(IV)₁. On the other hand, the O₍₅₎^- and O₍₆₎⁺ sites generated undergo the O–O bond formation in the CaMn₄O₆ cluster. The Ca(II) ion in the cubane- skeleton of the CaMn₄O₆ cluster assists the above orbital interactions by the lowering of the orbital energy levels of π*-LUMO of Mn(V)₁=O₍₆₎ and σ*-LUMO of Mn(IV)₄–O₍₅₎, indicating an important role of its Lewis acidity. Present CBS mechanism for the O–O bond formation coupled with one electron reductions of the high-valent Mn ions is different from the conventional radical coupling (RC) and acid-base (AB) mechanisms for water oxidation in artificial and native photosynthesis systems. The proton-coupled electron transfer (PC-OET) mechanism for the O–O bond formation is also touched in relation to the CBS-OET mechanism.     

紫光化合物[Cd(bpdc)(phen)_2(H_2O)]·6H_2O的合成、结构及荧光光谱研究

以2,4′-联苯二甲酸(H2bpdc)和1,10-邻菲罗啉(phen)为配体,采用水热法合成一例三维超分子网状镉(Ⅱ)配合物[Cd(bpdc)(phen)2(H2O)]·6H2O(1)。通过单晶X射线衍射分析,元素分析和红外光谱分析表征化合物1的结构。单晶X射线衍射分析结果表明,化合物1属于三斜晶系,P1空间群,中心金属Cd(Ⅱ)离子呈现六配位扭曲八面体构型,通过两种氢键作用和π—π堆积作用形成三维超分子结构。同时,对化合物1进行固态/溶液以及不同温度下的荧光性能测试。以350nm为激发波长进行激发,298K固态时,化合物1在390nm处有强发射峰,呈现紫色荧光;77K固态时,化合物1的荧光光谱具有两个发射谱带,分别位于380和520nm处,是因为在低温时化合物1表现出精细结构。298K时,化合物1在DMSO溶液和CH3OH溶液中分别在380和375nm有最大发射,相对于固态最大发射波长发生蓝移,呈现紫色荧光。这均是基于中心金属微扰配体中心的π*→π跃迁发射。研究了化合物1固态和溶液的荧光寿命,化合物1荧光衰减过程包含双组分。298K条件下,化合物1在DMSO溶液中的寿命(τ1=1.73μs和τ2=14.07μs)比CH3OH溶液中的荧光寿命(τ1=1.21μs和τ2=12.44μs)长。此外,77K固态时的荧光寿命(τ1=1.96μs和τ2=16.11μs)长于298K的固态荧光寿命(τ1=1.20μs和τ2=11.34μs),这是因为低温条件下降低分子内部的非辐射跃迁,从而延长固态荧光寿命。
