FT-IR spectra

The initial radicals formed from the Ce(IV) ion redox system can initiate a monomer to polymerize and form an end group of the resulting polymer. When the reductant exhibits a carbonyl group, the amide group can be conveniently detected by the FT-IR spectrum of the polymer, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The FT-...

The results of low-temperature matrix-isolation studies with 6 [41a] are quite consistent with the photochemical formation of cyclo-Cif, via 1,2-diketene intermediates [59] and subsequent loss of six CO molecules. When 6 was irradiated at A > 338 nm in a glass of 1,2-dichloroethane at 15 K, the strong cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione C=0 band at 1792 cm in the FT-IR spectrum disappeared quickly and a strong new band at 2115 cm appeared, which was assigned to 1,2-diketene substructures. Irradiation at A > 280 nm led to a gradual decrease in the intensity of the ketene absorption at 2115 cm and to the appearance of a weak new band at 2138 cm which was assigned to the CO molecules extruded photo-chemically from the 1,2-diketene intermediates. Attempts to isolate cyclo-Cig preparatively by flash vacuum pyrolysis of 6 or low-temperature photolysis of 6 in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran in NMR tubes at liquid-nitrogen temperature have not been successful. 

The chloroformate resin is readily prepared immediately before use and hence its stability to long-term storage has not been explored. However, no special precautions were needed in handling the resin and no stability problems were observed during the course of this work. The FT-IR spectrum of sampled beads showed no sign of a hydroxyl signal.

To confirm the importance of ester linkage for chiral formation, we conducted vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) measurements [64]. FT-IR spectrum of this molecule shows many C=0,0-C-O related peaks in addition to peaks of N=N and phenyl and CH2 vibrational modes, as shown in Fig. 22a. It is noted that strong VCD signals are observed in C=0 and O-C-O vibrations, as shown in Fig. 22b. This implies that ester linkage is strongly related to the chiral structure. 

The reaction product was isolated by distillation under reduced pressure as a white powder and employed immediately after the synthesis in the registration of the FT-IR spectrum and in the thermogravimetric analysis. 

The FT-IR spectrum of C70D38 in the range between 1,800 and 400 cm-1 is shown in Fig. 7.5 in comparison to the spectra of C70D38 prepared in toluene and in benzene. There are no evidences of band shift due to deuteration with the obvious... 

Figure 7.10 (top) shows the FT-IR spectrum of freshly prepared C60D36. The exposure to air after 1 day causes alterations in the spectrum (Fig. 7.10, middle). In particular it can be noticed the reduction of the intensity of the C-D stretching band at 2,092 cm-1 and the complete disappearance of the C-D bending at 966 cm-1. Evidences of oxidation can be inferred by the C=0 stretching band at 1,710 cm-1 and by the C-OH and C-OOH bending at about 1,040 cm-1 supporting the allylic oxidation mechanism. After 3 days exposure to air an increase in the relative intensity of the ketone, hydroxyl and hydroperoxide bands can be observed (Fig. 7.10, bottom). 

As detailed discussed in a previous section and elsewhere (Kohen and Limbach 2006), when the C-H bond breakage is a rate determining step, then the hydrogen substitution with deuterium leads to a measurable primary isotope effect with improved stability toward oxidation of the deuterated molecule or macromolecule in comparison to its hydrogenated counterpart (Jessop et al. 1994 Kohen and Limbach 2006). Figure 7.11 shows qualitatively this phenomenon when compared with Fig. 7.12 (first two spectra on top of the figure). The FT-IR spectrum of C70D38 after... 

To gain a deeper insight into the reaction mechanism, in situ FT-IR spectroscopy under C02 pressure is employed to identify the possible intermediates during the reaction proceeding. The in situ FT-IR spectrum of BrTBDPEG150TBDBr before and after reaction with C02 (at 3 MPa, 120 °C) is shown in Fig. 5.1a. There... 

Cvi is the number of vinyl groups per chain. The direct observation of the decrease in amplitude of the Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectrum of vinyl groups leads to a square root dependence of a(t) on time. The threshold of gelation occurs at a time t0 such that e(t0) is equal to zero. Again, the magnetic relaxation rate is a function of the variable, e (Figure 8.4).
