Two car- bonyl stretching vibrational modes (a low-frequency A1 mode and two high-frequency degenerate E modes) were used as vibrational probes. Central metal effect on the CO bond order and force constant was responsible for a larger E-A1 frequency separation and a generally more red-shifted E and A1 peaks in the Re complex than in the Mn complex. A generally broader spectral width for the A1 mode than the E mode is believed to be partially due to vibrational lifetime effect. Vibrational mode-dependent diagonal anharmonicity was observed in transient infrared spectra, with a generally smaller anharmonicity found for the E mode in both the Mn and Re complexes.展开更多

The simulation results indicate that the stability of the end rings of the three silica nanotubes gradually decreases with increase in temperature. The validity of the vibrational features of silica nanotubes is shown by the vibrational density of states. Infrared spectra on the silica nanotubes under different temperatures are investigated. A detailed assignment of each spectral peak to the corresponding vibrational mode of the three nanotubes has been addressed. The results are in good agreement with the other theoretical and experimental展开更多

The DB‐FTIR spectrometer is suitable for the real‐time study of the dynamic surface processes involved in gas/solid heterogeneous catalysis under real reaction conditionsbecause it can simultaneously collect reference and sample spectra. The influence of gas‐phasemolecular vibration and heat irradiation at real reaction temperatures can therefore be eliminated.The DB‐FTIR spectrometer was successfully used to follow the transformation of isobutene over nano‐sized HZSM‐5 zeolite under real reaction conditions.展开更多

The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed and characterized by dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry. The sorbent matrices were prepared in the form of beads and surface functionalized to enable enhanced sorption of fluoride ions. Batch sorption studies were carried out and the sorption isotherm and reaction kinetics were analyzed. Both the sorbents followed Langmuir model of isotherm and fitted well with Pseudo first order reaction. The maximum sorption capacity exhibited by FNPSA and FNPSOPR was58.24 mg·g-1and 80.33 mg·g-1respectively. Five sorption–desorption cycles exhibited 100%, 97.56%, 94.53%,83.21%, and 76.53% of regeneration of FNPSOPR. Accordingly, it is demonstrated that FNSOPR could be used as a promising sorbent for easy and efficient removal of fluoride from contaminated water with good reusability.The current work suggests a simple and effective method to remove fluoride from contaminated water.展开更多
Resonant and nonresonant intermolecular vibrational energy transfers in Gdm- SCN/KSCN=1/1, GdmSCN/KS^13CN=1/1 and GdmSCN/KS^13C^15N=1/1 mixed crystals in melts and in aqueous solutions are studied with the two dimensi...Resonant and nonresonant intermolecular vibrational energy transfers in Gdm- SCN/KSCN=1/1, GdmSCN/KS^13CN=1/1 and GdmSCN/KS^13C^15N=1/1 mixed crystals in melts and in aqueous solutions are studied with the two dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The energy transfers in the samples are slower with a larger energy donor/acceptor gap, independent of the Raman spectra. The energy gap dependences of the nonresonant energy transfers cannot be described by the phonon compensation mechanism. Instead, the experi- mental energy gap dependences can be quantitatively described by the dephasing mechanism. Temperature dependences of resonant and nonresonant energy transfer rates in the melts are also consistent with the prediction of the dephasing mechanism. The series of results suggest that the dephasing mechanism can be dominant not only in solutions, but also in melts (pure liquids without solvents), only if the molecular motions (translations and rotations) are much faster than the nonresonant energy transfer processes.展开更多

Vibrationally excited products of HCI, CO, and CO2 are observed in the IR emission spectra and the product vibrational state distribution are determined which shows that HCI and CO are vibrationally excited with the nascent average vibrational energy estimated to be 59.8 and 51.8 kJ/mol respectively. In combination with the G3MP2//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculations, the reaction mechanisms have been characterized and the energetically favorable reaction pathways have been suggested.展开更多

The ion complexes of interest are each mass-selected in a time- of-flight spectrometer, and studied with infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. For each complex, a sharp band in the CO stretching frequency region is observed, which confirms the formation of the OTi+CO(CO2)~_l oxide-carbonyl species. Small OTi+CO(CO2)~_1 complexes (n_〈5) exhibit CO stretching and antisymmetric CO2 stretching vibrational bands that are blue-shifted from those of free CO and CO2. The experimental observations indicate that the coordination number of CO and CO2 molecules around TiO+ is five. Evidence is also observed for the presence of another electrostatic bonding Ti+(CO2)2 structural isomer for the Ti+(CO2)2Ar complex, which is characterized to have a bent OCO-Ti+-OCO structure stabilized by argon coordination.展开更多

To date, all the infrared spectra reported are experimental, mainly because of the calculations needed to study these structures are highly time-consuming. In this report we address for the first time the infrared spectrum calculation of PCBM with Cs symmetry by using the PW91/dnp level as implemented in the Dmol3 code. In this calculation we have found two intense peaks in the IR spectrum, that agree fairly with the 1187 and 1787 cm^-1 measured experimentally.展开更多

Between 0.2 and 3.6 THz (6.6-120.0 cm-1 ), seven highly resolved spectral features, strong line-narrowing and a frequency blue-shift were observed with cooling. However, ractopamine hydrochloride, with some structural and pharmacological similarities to clenbuterol hydrochloride, showed no spectral features, indicating high sensitivity and strong specificity of THz-TDS. These results could be used for the rapid and nondestructive CH residual detection in food safety control.展开更多

Detailed anharmonic vibrational analysis was carried out to reveal some vibrational signatures characteristic of structural aspects of the base monomers and dimers, which were well manifested in simulated 1D IR and 2D IR spectra. The degree of delocalization of the selected normal modes, represented by the potential energy distribution, was found to vary sig-nificantly from isolated bases to H-bonded dimers, and was accompanied by changes in anharmonicities of these modes. Examples are given for the generally accepted carbonyl stretching mode of base pairs appearing in the 6-m wavelength region of IR spectra.展开更多

Vibrationally excited photofragments of CO (v ≤ 5), HC1 (v ≤ 6), and C2H2 were observed and two photodissociation channels, the C-C1 fission channel and the HC1 elimina- tion channel have been identified. The vibrational and rotational state distributions of the photofragments CO and HC1 have been acquired by analyzing their fully rotationally resolved v→ v- 1 rovibrational progressions in the emission spectra, from which it has been firmly established that the mechanism involves production of HC1 via the four-center molecular elimination of CH2CHCOC1 after its internal conversion from the S1 state to the So state. In addition to the dominant C--C1 bond fission along the excited S1 state, the S1→S0 internal conversion has also been found to play an important role in the gas phase photolysis of CH2CHCOC1 as manifested by the considerable yield of HC1.展开更多
