Experimental and theoretical studies on corals. I. Toward understanding the origin of color in precious red corals from Raman and IR spectroscopies a…
2009
An attempt to explain the origin of the vivid red color in precious pink and red corals was undertaken. Raman and IR spectroscopies were applied to characterize white, pink and red corals. The position of the Raman signal near 1500 cm −1 of some corals and pearls was associated by several authors with the presence of the mixture of all-trans-polyenic pigments, containing 6 – 16 conjugated C C bonds or β-carotenoids. This hypothesis was examined theoretically by performing extensive B3LYP-DFT calculations of vibrational spectra of the model polyenic compounds. The B3LYP/6-311++G ∗∗ predicted positions of the dominating Raman mode depend on the number of C Cu nits (Cn parameter) and can be ac…
Structure and properties of N-methyl-N-(4-pyridyl)-nitramine and 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-4-nitriminopyridine
2002
Abstract The molecular structure and spectral properties of N -methyl- N -(4-pyridyl)-nitramine ( 1 ) and 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-4-nitriminopyridine ( 3 ) were investigated by the X-ray diffraction, FTIR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods and DFT theoretical calculations. N -methyl- N -(4-pyridyl)-nitramine ( 1 ) crystallises in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. It is composed of two planar fragments; nitramino (N 2 O 2 ) group and the pirydyl ring. These two groups are twisted at about 70° with respect to each other, along the Ar–N bond. On the contrary, in compound 3 , they are coplanar to each other. Twist of the nitramino group in 1 with respect to the pirydyl ring leads to a sign…
Interaction Mechanisms between guaiacols and lignin: the conjugated double bond makes the difference.
2011
Lignin is considered to be responsible for a selective sorption of phenolic compounds on wood. In order to investigate the mechanisms involved, two similar guaiacol compounds--only differing by the nature of the para side chain--were adsorbed on oak wood extracted lignin. Vapor sorption-desorption isotherms indicated that about 3.5 wt % of 4-vinylguaiacol is adsorbed near saturation whereas it is only 0.8% for 4-ethylguaiacol. For both compounds, the isotherms displayed a hysteresis though significantly greater for 4-vinylguaiacol. Analyses of the hydroxyl stretching region of FTIR spectra of the lignin/4-ethylguaiacol and lignin/4-vinylguaiacol complexes indicated that physisorption via hy…
The transformation of aromatic molecules into the subspace of their double bonds
1975
A model of new submolecules is presented. As an application some absorptions of aromatic radicals are interpreted in UV and visible spectra. Extension of the model to biological systems is prejudged.
<title>Iodine and mercury resonance lamps and their spectrum in far UV</title>
2001
Electrodeless iodine, mercury iodide, and mercury radio- frequency discharge lamps have been made to provide effective sources of atomic spectra for analytical spectroscopy providing powerful resonance radiation of iodine and mercury in the 120-253 nm region. The lamps are required and can be used for spectral calibration, resonance absorption, and fluorescence detection techniques, for investigation of atomic characteristics (e.g., branching ratios) and other purposes where intense monochromatic spectra are needed. Production technology, development, and investigation of the UV and VUV emission are described.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering. Downlo…
Photo-fragmentation of alkyl phosphates in the gas-phase
2018
Abstract Alkyl phosphates are experiencing an ever increasing use due to the current arising of new applications. This implies their increasing presence in the environment so their stability and reactivity under high-energy photons, which are still unknown, need to be clarified. In this study, a mass spectrometric investigation of the ionization and fragmentation processes of four representative alkyl phosphates (dibutyl, tributyl, bis-2-ethylhexyl, and tris-2-ethylhexyl phosphate) induced by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation has been carried out. The experimental data show that fragmentation occurs through a stepwise cleavage of the bonds between the phosphate group and the alkyl chains l…
13C NMR spectra of eudesmanolides I—eudesman-12,6-olides
1987
The 13C NMR spectra of 26 eudesmanolides of natural and synthetic origin have been measured, including the naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactones artemisin, torrentin, rothin-A and rothin-B and several semi-synthetic eudesman-12,6-olides obtained from artemisin. The chemical shift values of the different compounds are compared and the effects of the substituents are discussed.
Sesquiterpene lactones from iranian Artemisia species
1993
Abstract The aerial parts of Artemisia turcomanica and A. deserti yielded two new germacranolides, a new guaianolide, and several known mono- and sesquiterpenes.
Dunham coefficients of 14N2 from CARS measurements of high vibrational states in a low-pressure discharge
1988
Spectroscopic constants of the X1Σg+ ground state of 14N2 are deduced from CARS spectra recorded in a 4 Torr d.c. N2 glow discharge. Vibrational states up to ν = 14 have been observed but only the 11 lower levels which have a good signal-to-noise ratio have been processed. The Dunham constants that were deduced yield vibrational band centre positions in good agreement with those of Lofthus and Krupenie.
1H-nmr studies of polyoxyethylene-bound homo-oligo-L-methionines
1982
The use of 1H-nmr spectroscopy is demonstrated to be a useful analytical method to characterize the structure of synthetic peptides attached to soluble, macromolecular polyoxyethylene (POE) supports in the liquid-phase method (LPM) of peptide synthesis. We report an extensive 360-MHz 1H-nmr study of POE-bound homo-oligo-L-methionine peptides. A combination of high field and selective saturation or Redfield pulse methods allows resolution of individual backbone NH and α-CH resonances of dilute peptides in the presence of strong resonances from macromolecular POE and/or protonated solvents. The nmr spectra for the POE-bound peptides in CDCl3 are qualitatively similar to those of the low-molec…
