Theoretical study of the electronic spectrum of magnesium-porphyrin
1999
Multiconfigurational self-consistent field (SCF) and second order perturbation methods have been used to study the electronic spectrum of magnesium-porphyrin (MgP). An extended ANO-type basis set including polarization functions on all heavy atoms has been used. Four allowed singlet states of E1u symmetry have been computed and in addition a number of forbidden transitions and a few triplet states. The results lead to a consistent interpretation of the electronic spectrum, where the Q band contains one transition, the B band two, and the N band one. The computed transition energies are consistently between 0.1 and 0.5 too low compared to the measured band maxima. The source of the discrepan…
Oxide/water interfaces: how the surface chemistry modifies interfacial water properties
2012
The organization of water at the interface with silica and alumina oxides is analysed using density functional theory-based molecular dynamics simulation (DFT-MD). The interfacial hydrogen bonding is investigated in detail and related to the chemistry of the oxide surfaces by computing the surface charge density and acidity. We find that water molecules hydrogen-bonded to the surface have different orientations depending on the strength of the hydrogen bonds and use this observation to explain the features in the surface vibrational spectra measured by sum frequency generation spectroscopy. In particular, 'ice-like' and 'liquid-like' features in these spectra are interpreted as the result o…
Crystal structures, spectral and magnetic properties of cobalt(II) pyridinecarboxylates: A novel polymeric chain in {[{2,6-(MeO)2nic}2(H2O)2Co(μ-H2O)…
2006
Abstract Synthesis and characterization of two new cobalt(II) complexes, namely monomeric [Co(2-MeSnic)2(H2O)4] · 4H2O (2-MeSnic is 2-methylthionicotinate) and polymeric {[{2,6-(MeO)2nic}2(H2O)2Co(μ-H2O)Co(H2O)4(μ-H2O)]{2,6-(MeO)2nic}2 · 6H2O}n (2,6-(MeO)2nic is 2,6-dimethoxynicotinate), are reported. The characterizations were based on elemental analysis, infrared and electronic spectra as well as magnetic measurements. Crystal structures of both complexes have been determined. In both of them – ([Co(2-MeSnic)2(H2O)4] · 4H2O and {[{2,6-(MeO)2nic}2(H2O)2Co(μ-H2O)Co(H2O)4(μ-H2O)]{2,6-(MeO)2nic}2 · 6H2O}n) – the CoII atom is six-coordinated. In the 2nd complex, there are two nonequivalent CoI…
The infrared and Raman spectra of solid tridehydropeptides : influence of ΔAla and ΔPhe on the spectral profile
2012
Abstract A series of solid tripeptides Boc-Gly-X-Gly-OMe (X = dehydroalanine (ΔAla), dehydrophenylalanine (ΔPhe)) was investigated by Raman scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectra to examine the conformational marker bands of the unsaturated residue. The observed fundamental modes gave us the opportunity to analyze structural features that change due to the substitution of Ala by ΔAla and due to the different spatial arrangement of ΔPhe ( Z and E isomers). In addition, we showed the alteration of the spectral profile when the large size residue (Phe) is introduced into the backbone of the peptide with ΔPhe (in Boc-Gly-Δ (Z) Phe-Phe-OMe). The frequency ranges of interest included t…
Atmospheric compensation in Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of clinical samples.
2013
A new method is proposed for the elimination of the spectral contribution of two atmospheric gases (CO2 and H2O) in Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of clinical samples. The algorithm is based on the measurement of reference spectra of H2O followed by an automatic calculation of the spectral contribution of the above-mentioned gases to the sample spectra. Then this contribution is compensated by spectral subtraction. Attenuated total reflectance FT-IR spectra of serum and urine samples in the presence of atmospheric gases were corrected and compared with spectra obtained with an N2 purge. Visual inspection of the spectra as well as calculated noise levels confirmed that the metho…

2002
The kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis and the configuration, conformation and electronic structure were studied using IR, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis and AM1 theoretical calculations for a series of (Z)-4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-ones (1) and compared with analogous results reported for (E)-4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4H-furan-5-ones (5) and related compounds.
Vibrational Circular Dichroism of Thiolate-Protected Au25 Clusters: Accurate Prediction of Spectra and Chirality Transfer within the Mixed Ligand She…
2019
We have prepared Au25(PET)18-2x((R)-FBI-NAS)x(PET = 2-phenylethylthiol, (R)-FBINAS = (R)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octafluoro-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-dithiol) mixed ligand shell clusters via ligand exchange. Two fractions with different composition of the ligand shell were separated using size-exclusion chromatography and studied by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Both IR and VCD spectra are dominated by FBINAS vibrations although PET is more abundant on the cluster. Calculated VCD spectra on a model cluster Au25(SH)16(FBINAS)1 depend on the charge state of the cluster, and the anion is in excellent agreement with the experimental spectra of the Au25(PET)18-…
ChemInform Abstract: Spectroscopic and Theoretical Studies on the Internal Rotational Barrier of 1-Acetylcyclohexene
1987
Abstract MINDO-3 molecular orbital calculations with full geometry optimization have been carried out on 1-acetylcyclohexene (ACH) in order to estimate the rotational barrier for the acetyl group, and to localize the less energetic conformation. MNDO calculations have also been carried out for comparative purposes. Both methods point to the non-delocalized structure with the two π-clouds perpendicular to the less energetic conformation. A decomposition of the barrier energy by means of Fourier analysis is made in order to characterize the contributions to the barrier. The UV spectrum of ACH has been recorded both in vapor phase and in hexane solution. These spectra are related to the one ca…
Purely Spectroscopic Determination of the Spin Hamiltonian Parameters in High-Spin Six-Coordinated Cobalt(II) Complexes with Large Zero-Field Splitti…
2019
Accurate determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters in transition-metal complexes with large zero-field splitting (ZFS) is an actual challenge in studying magnetic and spectroscopic properties of high-spin transition metal complexes. Recent critical papers have convincingly shown that previous determinations of these parameters, based only on the magnetic data, have low accuracy and reliability. A combination of X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry seems to be a more convincing and accurate approach. However, even in this case, the accuracy of the determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters is strongly limited. In this work, we propose …
