Oxygen absorption bands

Collision-induced electronic spectra have many features in common with rovibrotranslational induced absorption. In this Section, we take a look at the electronic spectra. We start with a historical note on the famous forbidden oxygen absorption bands in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet. We proceed with a brief study of the common features, as well as of the differences, of electronic and rovibrotranslational induced absorption. Recent work is here considered much of which was stimulated by the advent of the laser - hence the name laser-assisted collisions. The enormous available laser powers stimulated new research on laser-controlled, reactive collisions and interactions of supermolecules with intense radiation fields. In conclusion, we attempt a simple classification of various types of electronic collision-induced spectra.

UV-VIS Aldehydes and ketones have two absorption bands in the ultraviolet region Both involve excitation of an electron to an antibonding tt orbital In one called a TT TT transition the electron is one of the tt electrons of the C=0 group In the other called an n ir transition it is one of the oxygen lone pair electrons Because the tt electrons are more strongly held than the lone parr electrons the transition is of... 

Most other studies have indicated considerably more complex behavior. The rate data for reaction of 3-methyl-l-phenylbutanone with 5-butyllithium or n-butyllithium in cyclohexane can be fit to a mechanism involving product formation both through a complex of the ketone with alkyllithium aggregate and by reaction with dissociated alkyllithium. Evidence for the initial formation of a complex can be observed in the form of a shift in the carbonyl absorption band in the IR spectrum. Complex formation presumably involves a Lewis acid-Lewis base interaction between the carbonyl oxygen and lithium ions in the alkyllithium cluster. 

Most rubbers used in adhesives are not resistant to oxidation. Because the degree of unsaturation present in the polymer backbone of natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber and polychloroprene rubber, they can easily react with oxygen. Butyl rubber, however, possesses small degree of unsaturation and is quite resistant to oxidation. The effects of oxidation in rubber base adhesives after some years of service life can be assessed using FTIR spectroscopy. The ratio of the intensities of the absorption bands at 1740 cm" (carbonyl group) and at 2900 cm" (carbon-hydrogen bonds) significantly increases when the elastomer has been oxidized [50]. 

Alongside this, IR spectra of M3NbOF6 type compounds display a strong absorption band at 920 cm"1 indicating the presence of a double niobium-oxygen bond, Nb=0 [57, 115, 155, 156]. Kaidalova [156] explained this contradiction as a phenomenon that is related to the hampered rotation of the NbOF63 polyhedron in the equatorial plane. 

The formation of monomer and dimer of (salen)Co AIX3 complex can be confirmed by Al NMR. Monomer complex la show Al NMR chemical shift on 5=43.1 ppm line width =30.2 Hz and dimer complex lb 5=37.7 ppm line width =12.7 Hz. Further instrumental evidence may be viewed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The new synthesized complex showed absorption band at 370 nm. The characteristic absorption band of the precatalyst Co(salen) at 420 nm disappeared (Figure 1). It has long been known that oxygen atoms of the metal complexes of the SchifT bases are able to coordinate to the transition and group 13 metals to form bi- and trinuclear complex [9]. On these proofs the possible structure is shown in Scheme 1. 

The optical absorption spectra of sulfonyl radicals have been measured by using modulation spectroscopy s, flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis s techniques. These spectra show broad absorption bands in the 280-600 nm region, with well-defined maxima at ca. 340 nm. All the available data are summarized in Table 3. Multiple Scattering X, calculations s successfully reproduce the experimental UV-visible spectra of MeSO 2 and PhSO 2 radicals, indicating that the most important transition observed in this region is due to transfer of electrons from the lone pair orbitals of the oxygen atoms to... 

Another intermediate of the photolysis of TiO was observed in experiments with platinized particles (in the absence of polyvinyl alcohol). The spectrum shown in Fig. 22 is prraent immediately after the laser flash. The signal decays as shown by the inset in the figure. The rate of decay is not influenced by oxygen but is increased by oxidizable compounds such as Br ions in the solution. The broad absorption band in Fig. 22 with a maximum at 430 nm was attributed to trapped positive holes. Chemically, a trapped hole is an 0 radical anion. In homogeneous aqueous solution, 0 ... 

We have seen, in the previous section (and section III.A), that cobalt (Salen) and its active derivatives normally form diamagnetic peroxo type I dioxygen adducts. However, a pyridine solution of Co(3-methoxy Salen) has been shown 137) to take up dioxygen with 1 1 (Co O2) stoichiometry it was found 137) that there was no significant IR absorption band, attributable to the 0—0 stretch, for the oxygenated complex, and this suggested that the dioxygen is symmetrically bonded in an unidentate manner,... 

Remarkable substituent effects on the absorption bands in the colored form are observed on substitution in positions 3, 6, and 8 of the spiroben-zopyran (Table 1). A nitro group at the 8-position yields a higher Xmax ( 40nm) compared with a nitro group at the 6-position due to interaction of phenolate anion and oxygen atom of the nitro group. In many cases, it... 

The of 33 shows a bathochromic shift, compared to that of the corresponding spironaphthopyran [ max 531, 558(s) nm in toluene].78 The substituent effect in 2, 5, 6 - and 5-position of 33 on the absorption band of the colored form has been examined.72,77,7s The donor substituent group in 6 -position, such as piperidino group, gives a hypsochromic shift by 35 nm, but 5 -carbomethoxy substitution results in a bathochromic shift by 20 nm. This may be due to interaction between oxygen atom of the phenolate and methoxy group.
