Figure 9.24 shows part of the laser Stark spectrum of the bent triatomic molecule FNO obtained with a CO infrared laser operating at 1837.430 cm All the transitions shown are Stark components of the rotational line of the Ig vibrational transition, where Vj is the N-F stretching vibration. The rotational symbolism is that for a symmetric rotor (to which FNO approximates) for which q implies that AA = 0, P implies that A/ = — 1 and the numbers indicate that K" = 7 and J" = 8 (see Section 6.2.4.2). In an electric field each J level is split into (J + 1) components (see Section 5.2.3), each specified by its value of Mj. The selection mle when the radiation is polarized perpendicular to the field (as here) is AMj = 1. Eight of the resulting Stark components are shown.

In EMIRS and SNIFTIRS measurements the "inactive" s-polarlsed radiation is prevented from reaching the detector and the relative intensities of the vibrational bands observed in the spectra from the remaining p-polarised radiation are used to deduce the orientation of adsorbed molecules. It should be pointed out, however, that vibrational coupling to adsorbate/adsorbent charge transfer (11) and also w electrochemically activated Stark effect (7,12,13) can lead to apparent violations of the surface selection rule which can invalidate simple deductions of orientation. 

Thus the IR active modes will be determined by the matrix elements of the polarlsablllty matrix and not by a combination of the surface selection rule and the normal IR selection rules l.e. all of the Raman active modes could become accessible. This effect has been formalized and Its significance assessed In a discussion (12) which compares Its magnitude for a number of different molecules. In the case of acrylonitrile adsorption discussed In the previous section, the Intensity of the C=N stretch band appears to vary with the square of the electric field strength as expected for the Stark effect mechanism.

SSR-504734 is a potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor (IC50 = 18 nM) that is competitive with glycine [47,51]. The inhibitor rapidly and reversibly blocked the uptake of [14C]glycine in mouse cortical homogenates, which was sustained for up to 7 h. Complete cessation of blockade and return to glycine basal levels occurred prior to 24 h, which is in stark contrast to NFPS (>24 h). SSR-504734 potentiated a nearly twofold increase of NMDA receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in rat hippocampal slices and produced an increase in contralateral rotations in mice when microinjected into the striatum. Microdialysis experiments indicated that the inhibitor induced a rapid and sustained increase in extracellular glycine levels in the PFC of freely moving rats [51]. The compound also demonstrated efficacy in a variety of psychosis models [51-53]. SSR-504734 was reportedly in clinical trials for schizophrenia but discontinued after Phase I (data not disclosed) [54]. 

The unique ability of crown ethers to form stable complexes with various cations has been used to advantage in such diverse processes as isotope separations (Jepson and De Witt, 1976), the transport of ions through artificial and natural membranes (Tosteson, 1968) and the construction of ion-selective electrodes (Ryba and Petranek, 1973). On account of their lipophilic exterior, crown ether complexes are often soluble even in apolar solvents. This property has been successfully exploited in liquid-liquid and solid-liquid phase-transfer reactions. Extensive reviews deal with the synthetic aspects of the use of crown ethers as phase-transfer catalysts (Gokel and Dupont Durst, 1976 Liotta, 1978 Weber and Gokel, 1977 Starks and Liotta, 1978). Several studies have been devoted to the identification of the factors affecting the formation and stability of crown-ether complexes, and many aspects of this subject have been discussed in reviews (Christensen et al., 1971, 1974 Pedersen and Frensdorf, 1972 Izatt et al., 1973 Kappenstein, 1974).

We have seen that the absorption spectra of (RE) + ions (see Eignres 6.2 and 6.3) consist of several sets of lines corresponding to transitions between the Stark snblevels of 2S+1 j states within the 4f" electronic confignration. A typical absorption spectmm of a (RE) + ion in crystals is like the one sketched in Eignre 6.16. The different sets of transitions correspond to different J J transitions (/ acconnting for the gronnd state), which, in principle, are only permitted at magnetic dipole order the selection rnle is 2 / = 0, 1, with 0 -o- 0 forbidden.

On the basis of these formulae one can convert measurements of area, which equals the integral in the latter formula, under spectral lines into values of coefficients in a selected radial function for electric dipolar moment for a polar diatomic molecular species. Just such an exercise resulted in the formula for that radial function [129] of HCl in formula 82, combining in this case other data for expectation values (0,7 p(v) 0,7) from measurements of the Stark effect as mentioned above. For applications involving these vibration-rotational matrix elements in emission spectra, the Einstein coefficients for spontaneous emission conform to this relation. 

An issue of obvious importance in test species selection is the degree to which test results can be reliably applied to human beings. As we noted in the last chapter this is one of the principal problems in the evaluation of human risk, and we shall get back to it in the later chapters on risk assessment. For now, emphasis is on the selection of animal species and strains for their known reliability as experimental subjects. To put it in stark (but honest) terms - the animals are used as toxicity measuring devices.

Figure 6.9 Generic five-state system for ultrafast efficient switching. The resonant two-state system of Figure 6.6 is extended by three target states for selective excitation. While the intermediate target state 4) is in exact two-photon resonance with the laser pulse, both outer target states 3) and 5) lie well outside the bandwidth of the two-photon spectrum. Therefore, these states are energetically inaccessible under weak-field excitation. Intense femtosecond laser pulses, however, utilize the resonant AC Stark effect to modify the energy landscape. As a result, new excitation pathways open up, enabling efficient population transfer to the outer target states as well.

We have demonstrated a strong-held control scenario based on the SPODS. We derived the theoretical background in terms of both classical physics and quantum mechanics. We showed tunability of this bidirectional Stark effect up to nearly 300 meV, a selectivity of almost up to 100% and a precision down to the sub-10 as regime experimentally on atoms and molecules with a theoretical efficiency up to 100%.

Several reasons have been put forward to explain the change in the angular intensity pattern of the photoelectrons. One explanation is that intermediate neutral energy levels are ac-Stark shifted into resonance and contribute new selection rules to the photoionization process [53,54], Another possibility is that the electrons of the Kr or D2 are driven into the core Kr+ or D2 in a scattering-like process that creates interference fringes in the photoelectron angular distribution due to interference between multiple scattering channels [55],...
