Infrared intensities of liquids XXV: Dielectric constants, molar polarizabilities and integrated intensities of liquid toluene at 25 °C between 4800 and 400 cm

The main purpose of this paper is to present accurate infrared integrated intensities of liquid toluene, C₆H₅CH₃, at 25 °C. Also presented are the decadic molar absorption coefficients, E_m, the real and imaginary dielectric constants, ε′ and ε″, and the real and imaginary molar polarizabilities, ^′_m and ^″_m. Integrated intensities were determined as C_j, the area under bands in the spectrum, for all bands between 4800 and 440 cm⁻¹. The contributions from the different bands were separated by fitting the spectrum with classical damped harmonic oscillator bands. The uncertainties in the integrated intensities of most bands are estimated to be 5–10%, with the uncertainties in very weak bands and in shoulders possibly up to 100%. The intensity that should be assigned to the fundamentals is more difficult to estimate due to Fermi resonance with overtone and combination bands, and a best estimate is given. The integrated intensities of the fundamental vibrations and the corresponding transition dipole moments are summarized and are compared with literature values for the gas.     

A window fourier domain search system

A search system is presented that utilizes Fourier domain data. This system removes dominating features from the infrared absorbance data, transforms the data into the Fourier domain and performs a complete library search. The actual matching algorithm is very simple and excellent search results were attained using 16 cm^–1 resolution infrared absorbance spectra before transformation. This method can be used to distinguish very similar spectra that cannot be distinguished by many other search methods.     

CuO超细粉体的形貌与红外特性研究

CuO作为一种多功能精细无机材料，在印染、陶瓷、玻璃及医药等领域的应用已有数十年的历史，作为催化剂的主要活性成分，近年来在氧化、加氢、C１化学合成、NOx还原、CO及碳氢化合物燃烧、精细化工等多种催化反应中也得到了广泛的应用。可以推测，当CuO材料的粒度达到纳米级时，将使它的功能更加独特，应用更为广泛。因此CuO纳米材料的制备方法、聚集状态、与其他组分或载体的作用状况及催化活性等成为当前功能材料发展的研究热点之一犤１～８犦。我们在前文中报道了直接热解Cu２（OH）２CO３所得CuO粒径小、分布均匀、比表面积大，…     

天然水体底质中腐植酸的光谱表征

分别用紫外-可见光谱、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、三维荧光光谱和荧光等高线谱对提取的腐植酸和商品腐植酸进行了表征，并将分析结果与Aldrich和上海试剂二厂生产的腐植酸进行了比较。结果表明：3种底质腐植酸之间以及同商品腐植酸的紫外-可见光谱、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)相似，含有相同类型的官能团。对不同腐植酸的三维荧光光谱和荧光等高线谱的分析表明其在结构上存在一定的差异；腐植酸有较明显的荧光光谱特性，可以尝试使用三维荧光光谱技术来揭示其在结构上的差异。

A Background and noise elimination method for quantitative calibration of near infrared spectra

A new hybrid algorithm is proposed to eliminate the varying background and noise simultaneously for multivariate calibration of near infrared (NIR) spectral signals. The method is based on the use of multi-resolution, which is one of the main advantages provided by wavelet transform. The signals are firstly split into different frequency components, which keep the same data points of the original signals. In conjunction with a modified uninformative variable elimination (mUVE) criterion, the new method can be used to remove the low-frequency varying background and the high-frequency noise simultaneously. The method is successfully applied to simulated spectral data set and experimental NIR spectral data, resulting in more parsimonious multivariate models with higher precision. In addition, the proposed strategy can be applied to other spectral signals as well.     

Thermal decomposition of natural iowaite

The thermal decomposition of natural iowaite of formula Mg₆Fe₂(Cl,(CO₃)_0.5)(OH)₁₆·4H₂O was studied by using a combination of thermogravimetry and evolved gas mass spectrometry. Thermal decomposition occurs over a number of mass loss steps at 60°C attributed to dehydration, 266 and 308°C assigned to dehydroxylation of ferric ions, at 551°C attributed to decarbonation and dehydroxylation, and 644, 703 and 761°C attributed to further dehydroxylation. The mass spectrum of carbon dioxide exhibits a maximum at 523°C. The use of TG coupled to MS shows the complexity of the thermal decomposition of iowaite. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Glass transition study of blends of poly(N-methyldodecano-12-lactam) with poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid)

The blends of poly(N-methyldodecano-12-lactam) (MPA) with poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (PSAA) prepared from dioxane solutions were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The experimental DSC data of glass transition temperature T_g as a function of composition of amorphous phase were fitted for the as-prepared and re-scanned samples using theoretical approaches. The as-prepared blends show monotonic single-T_g dependence. The values of the Gordon-Taylor coefficient not far from unity suggest miscibility of the blend system in amorphous phase in the whole concentration range. As documented by FTIR, this miscibility is associated with hydrogen bonds between COOH groups of the acrylic acid units in PSAA molecules acting as the H-bond donor and CO groups of MPA acting as the H-bond acceptor. The T_g-dependencies obtained form the second runs have a profound sigmoid character. The Schneider treatment induced an idea of partial limited miscibility in the MPA/PSAA blends caused by prevalence of homogeneous contacts. The difference in T_g between the first and second run can partly be attributed to higher crystallinities in the former.     

Stretching vibrations and structure of (HF) n (n=4–8) clusters

IR spectra of 24 structural isomers of (HF) _n (n=4–8) clusters were calculated in the framework of semiempirical theory of polyatomic molecule vibrations. Based on the results obtained and available experimental data it is proposed that (HF) _n associates comprising 3–5-membered cycles with attached monomeric HF units are present in molecular beams and gas phase.Ab initio calculations performed by the SCF method show the existence of local minima corresponding to such structures on the potential energy surface of (HF) _n clusters (n=4–6).

环状芴基张力半导体拉曼光谱理论与实验研究

环状芴基张力半导体由于其特殊的分子结构，发射状排布的p轨道和纳米级空腔等诸多特点，引起了科学家广泛的关注.相对于直链型芴基半导体，环状芴基张力半导体展现出独特的光电性质.然而，迄今为止其振动性质没有被报道.对四元环芴的晶体与直链四聚芴粉末样品进行拉曼光谱表征和归一化处理，并结合理论计算.结果表明，与直链寡聚芴相比，环芴类似于碳纳米管的G峰发生了偏移，并且低频区域拉曼频移峰的峰强增加.其原因是由于张力的引入，改变了芴基主链的骨架和电子结构，加强芴骨架上π电子离域，同时使环芴中每个芴单元都参与到振动中.该研究结果为芴基张力半导体材料拉曼光谱的研究提供了一定的工作基础.
