Laser irradiation induced spectral evolution of the Laser irradiation induced spectral evolution of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)of 4-tert-butylbenzylmercaptan on gold nanoparticles assembly

The spectral evolution of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of 4-tert-butylbenzylmer-captan(4-tBBM)on gold nanopanlcles assembly under laser irradiation is reported.The reIative intensities of typical peaks in the spectrum of 4-tBBM gradually change with irradiation time.Comparison of the rate of spectral changes under several experimental conditions indicates that the surface plasmon resonance(SPR)induced heat in the gold nanoparticles assembly is the origin of the spectraI evolution.During the process of self-assembly,4-tBBM molecules do not form a compact ordered monolayer because of the spatial hindrance of the 4-tert-butyl end group.The heat induced by laser irradiation drives the 4-tBBM molecules to rearrange to a more stable orientation.

Spectral density distribution moments of a Hamiltonian of N coupled Morse oscillators: The large‐N limit

The expressions for moments of spectral density distribution of a Hamiltonian representing a system of N coupled Morse oscillators are reduced to the large‐N limit. The effect of the values of coupling constants on the spectral density distribution is analyzed. For the values of coupling constants within the pertinent range for real molecules, the relations between moments appear to be close to those for a Gaussian distribution. Outside this range, the deviations from the normal distribution are substantial. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2002     

Ultrafine molybdenum carbide nanoparticles supported on nitrogen doped carbon nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction

Nitrogen doped carbon nanosheets supported molybdenum carbides nanoparticles (Mo_xC/NCS) have been synthesized by tuning the mass ratio of melamine and ammonia molybdate. The Mo₂C/NCS-10 exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance and stability for HER, which was attributed to N-doped carbon nanosheets, small particle size, mesoporous structure, and large electrochemical active surface area.     

New resveratrol oligomers in the stem bark of Vatica pauciflora

Five new resveratrol oligomers; pauciflorols A-C (1-3), isovaticanols B (6) and C (8), and three new oligostilbene glucosides; pauciflorosides A (11), B (13), C (14), were isolated from the stem bark of Vatica pauciflora (Dipterocarpaceae) together with known 17 resveratrol oligomers (4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15-25) and bergenin (26). The structures of isolates were established on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. The typical and characteristic spectral properties of some resveratrol oligomers were also discussed.     

Developments on carbon dioxide reduction: Their promise,achievements, and challenges

CO₂ reduction processes continue to be developed for electrosynthesis, energy storage applications, and environmental remediation. A number of promising materials have shown high activity and selectivity to target reduction products. However, the progress has been mainly at a small laboratory scale, and the technical challenges of large scale CO₂ reduction have not been considered adequately. This review covers recent advancements in catalyst materials and cell designs. The leading materials for CO₂ reduction to a number of useful products are presented with their corresponding cell and reactor designs. The latest efforts to progress to industrially relevant scales are discussed, along with the challenges that must be met for carbon dioxide reduction to be a viable route for mass scale production.     

Redox Transformation of Adducts from Cycloaddition of Diazoacetic Ester to β-Arylacryloyloxiranes

It was established that, in addition to ethyl 4-aryl-3-(2,3-epoxyalkanoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, the reaction of diazoacetic ester with β-arylacryloyloxiranes also gives ethyl 4-aryl-3(5)-(3-hydroxy-2-methylalkanoyl)-1H-pyrazole-5(3)-carboxylates. The latter are formed from the tautomeric ethyl 4-aryl-5-(2,3-epoxyalkanoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates as a result of intramolecular oxidative-reductive disproportionation. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, 1150–1160, August, 2005.     

Emission band shape probes of the mixed-valence excited state properties of polypyridyl-bridged bis-ruthenium(II) complexes

The absorption spectra and emission spectral band shapes of several polypyridine-ligand (PP) bridged bis-ruthenium(II) complexes imply that the Ru(II)/Ru(III) electronic coupling is weak in their lowest energy metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states. Many of these PP-bridging ligands contain pyrazine moieties and the weak electronic coupling of the excited states contrasts to the strong electronic coupling inferred for the correlated mixed-valence ground states. Although the bimetallic complexes emit at significantly lower energy than their monometallic analogs, the vibronic contributions to their 77 K emission spectra are much stronger than expected based on comparison to the monometallic analogs (around twofold in some complexes) and this feature is characteristic of bimetallic complexes in which the mixed-valence excited states are electronically localized. The weaker excited state than ground state donor/acceptor electronic coupling in this class of complexes is attributed to PP-mediated super-exchange coupling in which the mediating orbital of the bridging ligand (PP-LUMO) is partly occupied in the MLCT excited states, but is unoccupied in the ground states; therefore, the vertical Ru(III)-PP⁻ (MLCT) energy is larger and the mixing coefficient smaller in these excited states than is found for Ru(II)-PP in the corresponding ground states.
