Two-photon Dissociation Study of Carbon Disulfide in Acetonitrile at 266 nm

Using laser flash photolysis/transient absorption technique for the study of two photon photodissociation of carbon disulfide in acetonitrile solution at 266 nm, the transient UV-Vis absorption spectrum of Rydberg state CS2 （6sσg） within 240-370 nm and subsequent dissociation product CS （α^3П） with the maximum absorption at 260 nm were directly observed. The lifetime of CS （α^3П） in the nitrogen and oxygen saturated solution is also studied in our experiment.     

High pressure X-ray diffraction experiments on NpS and PUS up to 60 GPa

Abstract

Neptunium and plutonium monosulfides were studied under high pressure up to ～60 GPa using a diamond anvil cell in an energy dispersive X-ray diffraction facility. The compounds, of cubic rock salt structure type at ambient pressure, do not show any crystallographic phase transition in the domain of investigation. From the pressure-volume relationship, we determined bulk moduli of 92 and 120 GPa with pressure derivatives of 4.6 and 4.1 for NpS and PUS respectively.     

Ab initio MRCI＋Q study on potential energy curves and spectroscopic parameters of low-lying electronic states of CS＋

Carbon monosulfide molecular ion （CS＋）, which plays an important role in various research fields, has long been attracting much interest. Because of the unstable and transient nature of CS＋, its electronic states have not been well investigated. In this paper, the electronic states of CS＋ are studied by employing the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method, and taking into account relativistic effects （scalar plus spin–orbit coupling）. The spin–orbit coupling effects are considered via the state-interacting method with the full Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian. The potential energy curves of 18 Λ–S states correlated with the two lowest dissociation limits of CS＋ molecular ion are calculated, and those of 10 lowest Ω states generated from the 6 lowest Λ–S states are also worked out. The spectroscopic constants of the bound states are evaluated, and they are in good agreement with available experimental results and theoretical values. With the aid of analysis of Λ–S composition of Ω states at different bond lengths, the avoided crossing phenomena in the electronic states of CS＋ are illuminated. Finally, the single ionization spectra of CS （X1Σ＋） populating the CS＋（X2Σ1/2＋, A2Π3/2, A2Π1/2, and B2Σ1/2＋） states are simulated. The vertical ionization potentials for X2Σ1/2＋, A2Π3/2, A2Π1/2, and B2Σ1/2＋ states are calculated to be 11.257, 12.787, 12.827, and 15.860 eV, respectively, which are accurate compared with previous experimental results, within an error margin of 0.08 eV~0.2 eV.     

Determination of sulfur forms in wine including free and total sulfur dioxide based on molecular absorption of carbon monosulfide in the air–acetylene flame

A new method for the determination of sulfur forms in wine, i.e., free SO₂, total SO₂, bound SO₂, total S, and sulfate, is presented. The method is based on the measurement of the carbon monosulfide (CS) molecular absorption produced in a conventional air–acetylene flame using high-resolution continuum source absorption spectrometry. Individual sulfur forms can be distinguished because of the different sensitivities of the corresponding CS molecular absorption. The sensitivity of free SO₂ is about three times higher than the value for bound SO₂ and sulfate. The method makes use of procedures similar to those used in classic reference methods. Its performance is verified by analyzing six wine samples. Relative standard deviations are between 5 and 13% for free SO₂ and between 1 and 3% for total SO₂. For the validation of the accuracy of the new method, the results are compared with those of reference methods. The agreement of the values for total SO₂ with values of the classic method is satisfactory: five out of six samples show deviations less than 16%. Due to the instability of free SO₂ in wine and the known problems of the used reference method, serious deviations of the free SO₂ results are found for three samples. The evaluation of the limits of detection focuses on the value for free SO₂, which is the sulfur form having by far the lowest concentration in wine. Here, the achievable limit of detection is 1.8 mg L⁻¹. Figure Detection of non-metal elements using continuum source flame absorption spectrometry     

The Fe-Ni Distribution Between Pentlandite and Monosulfide Solid Solution Equalized at Low Temperature

Two mixtures of pentlandite and the monosulfide solid solution (mss) have been synthesized. The bulk compositions of the samples are Fe₆Ni₃S₈ and Fe₃Ni₆S₈. Differential scanning calorimetry detected exothermic process in the samples under heating. The process takes place in temperature range between phase transition in the mss (near 400 K) and 690 K and is governed by diffusion. X-ray powder diffraction has showed that equilibrium Fe-Ni distribution between pentlandite and the mss is achieved after short-time heating up to 670 K. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

THEORETICAL COMPARISON OF THE BONDING OF CHALCOCARBONYL LIGANDS

Abstract

Fenske-Hall molecular orbital calculations on the complexes CpFe(CO)₂(CX)⁺ (X = O, S, Se, and Te) have been used to quantify the nature of bonding between the CX ligands and the metal atom. In addition, conclusions have been reached about the reactivity of the complexes under both nucleophilic and electrophilic attack. The previously established trend of increasing metal—ligand bond strength as X changes from O to S to Se is demonstrated by our molecular orbital calculations, and found to extend to Te. The mechanism for nucleophilic attack, variously explained in the past by either charge control or orbital control, is quantitatively ascribed to orbital control only. The nature of electrophilic attack on these complexes is also found to begin with orbital control.     

A study of the AΠ-XΣ and BΣ-XΣ band systems of scandium monosulfide, ScS, using Fourier transform emission spectroscopy and laser excitation spectroscopy

Emission spectra of the A²Π_3/2-X²Σ⁺ (0, 1), (0, 0), and (1, 0) bands and the B²Σ⁺-X²Σ⁺ (0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0), and (3, 1) bands of ScS have been recorded in the 10 000-13 500 cm⁻¹ region at a resolution of 0.05 cm⁻¹ using a Fourier transform (FT) spectrometer. The A²Π_r-X²Σ⁺ (1, 0) band as well as the B²Σ⁺-X²Σ⁺ (0, 0) and (1, 0) bands have been recorded at high resolution (±0.001 cm⁻¹) by laser excitation spectroscopy using a supersonic molecular beam source. The FT spectral features range up to N = 148, while those recorded with the laser cover the “low-N” regions. The lines recorded with the laser exhibit splittings due to the ⁴⁵Sc (I = 7/2) magnetic hyperfine interactions, which are large (∼6.65 GHz) in the X²Σ⁺ state and much smaller in the B²Σ⁺ and A²Π states. The energy levels were modeled using a traditional ‘effective’ Hamiltonian approach, and improved spectroscopic constants were extracted and compared with previous determinations and theoretical predictions.

Rotational spectra of S- and S-containing isotopologues of laser ablation generated tin monosulfide

Using a newly constructed source, tin monosulfide is produced by the reaction between carbonyl sulfide and the products resulting from the ablation of tin metal by the pulsed output of a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (λ = 532 nm). Entrained in argon carrier gas, SnS is introduced into the cavity of a Balle-Flygare Fourier transform microwave spectrometer that has a frequency range encompassing the two lowest rotational transitions (J = 1 − 0 and 2 − 1) for this molecule. Except for ¹¹⁵Sn³⁴S, spectra are obtained in natural abundance for all ³⁴S-containing isotopologues with naturally occurring tin isotopes. Additionally, spectra were obtained for the rare isotopologues, ¹¹⁵Sn³²S and ¹²⁰Sn³³S. Resolution of the hyperfine structure in the latter species allows a more precise determination of its ³³S nuclear quadrupole coupling constant. Spectra for all species containing ³⁴S are analyzed in terms of mass-independent Dunham parameters and are combined with all available isotopologues to determine Born-Oppenheimer breakdown terms for both tin and sulfur.
