Aqueous solutions powder spectrum

Biochemical EPR samples are almost always collections of randomly oriented molecules (frozen) aqueous solutions in which each paramagnetic molecule points in a different direction. In order to generate simulations of these powder EPR spectra we have to calculate the individual spectrum for many different orientations and then add these all up to obtain the powder pattern. Numerical procedures that generate sufficient spectra to approximate a powder pattern are collectively known as walking the unit sphere algorithms. Here is the basic procedure ... 

For the experimental spectrum of first-scan, the result in Figure 15.4 indicates that the network structure of aluminate which consists of Al and O atoms partly remains, although aluminate dissolves in the water and is divided into aluminate complex anions and Na cations. Other chemical species in the aqueous solution is presumed to be [Al(OH)4] and the hydrated ions produced by the hydrolysis of aluminate. The XANES spectral shape of powder of /i-aluminate has been... 

The lithium potassium salt is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water. The [311-P2W17O6,] " anion is unstable in aqueous solution and isomerizes to give the 012 anion. The isomerization is slowed by lithium ions. In acetic acid-lithium acetate buffer, the half-wave potentials (V vs SCE) are —0.48 (2e), —0.60 (2e), and —0.99 (2e). The PNMR spectrum exhibits two equal resonances at —9.0 and —13.1 ppm. In the IR spectrum the P—O bands are at 1121, 1084, and 1012cm (KBr pellet). 

The complex forms as an orange-brown powder that decomposes slowly in air. A sharp intense band in the IR spectrum at 2040 cm (KBr and Nujol) is assigned to of coordinated nitrogen. The stretching vibrations for carbox-ylate groups appear at 1600 (asym) and 1380 (sym) cm. The ESR spectrum indicates diamagnetic character. The UV/vis spectrum in aqueous solution has maxima at 51,000,40,000, and 21,275 cm In a static air or argon atmosphere. 

Triamminetrinitrocobalt(III)> tCo(N02)j(NH3)3], was first prepar in 1866 by Erdmann, later by Werner and Jorgensen, who prepared the complex by the air-oxidation of ammoniacal cobalt(II) salt solutions containing sodiiun nitrite and a large amount of ammonium chloride. In 1938, Duval examined the products obtained from several different procedures by absorption and infrared spectroscopy, refractive index of aqueous solutions, conductivity, and X-ray powder diffraction. He recognized two products in the Werner s preparation and the Jorgensen s preparation. In that year, Sueda reported an isomeric complex from the reaction of the [Co(N03)j(NH3)3] complex with sodium nitrite in a cold aqueous solution, which was assumed to be cis-cis isomer on the basis of the absorption spectrum.

For monitoring the pressure in anvil cells we use the frequncy shift of internal, chemically inert pressure calibrants. For Raman spectroscopic measurements, the most commonly used method is based on the pressure-induced frequency shift of the fluorescence line of a small piece of ruby that is placed in the sample compartment of the cell, next to the sample [1]. For infrared spectroscopic measurements, we have developed a quartz pressure scale [9], a BaSO pressure scale [10], and an HOD pressure scale [11], In the case of the first two techniques, a small amount of powdered quartz or BaSO powder are placed in the sample hole on the gasket, together with the sample under investigation. The infrared spectra of quartz or BaSO, which are relatively simple, are recorded simultaneously with the spectrum of the sample and the pressure on the sample b then determined from the frequency shift of the infrared bands of quartz or BaSO. The HOD pressure scale was developed specifically for aqueous solutions. In this case, the pressure in solution is determined from the frequency shift of the uncoupled O-H stretching band of residual HOD in DjO solutions, or from the uncoupled O-D stretching band of residual HOD in HjO solutions [11].
