Evidence of Dihydrogen Bonding of a Chiral Amine–Borane Complex in Solution by VCD Spectroscopy

IR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of a chiral amine–borane in solution are investigated. By comparison of experimental and calculated spectra, unique VCD spectral signatures, which can be attributed to the formation of dihydrogen‐bonded dimers in solution, are identified for the first time. These VCD features are highly sensitive to the specific dihydrogen‐bonding topologies utilized by the chiral amine–borane subunits and thus provide direct structural information of these dihydrogen‐bonded species in solution. Differences in the dihydrogen binding arrangements in solution and in solid state are also revealed.     

直射太阳光差分吸收光谱反演NO2整层垂直柱浓度

在直射太阳光差分吸收光谱技术(DS-DOAS)中,通常采用测量期间较干净大气条件下太阳天顶角最小时的测量谱作为参考谱反演整层垂直柱浓度(VCD)。由于参考谱中依然含有未知的NO2吸收结构,因此得到的是VCD的相对值。该文将大气外层高精度太阳夫琅禾费标准光谱与仪器函数卷积后作为参考谱,避免了参考谱中含有NO2的吸收结构引入的误差。通过研究3月7日用此新方法获得的斜柱浓度(SCD)与通常方法获得的差分斜柱浓度(dSCD)的比较,新方法反演SCD的误差小于1.6×1016 molecules.cm-2;通常方法反演SCD的误差在4.25×1016 molecules.cm-2附近,采用新方法误差减少了62%以上。最后将DS-DOAS测量的NO2整层VCD与多轴差分吸收光谱技术(MAX-DOAS)测得的NO2对流层VCD进行了对比,结果表明新方法可以有效的改进通常方法计算VCD的误差。
