Spectroscopic studies

Spectroscopic techniques have been widely used for characterization of catalysts. In this regard, a significant database on the structure of hydroprocessing 

Spectroscopic characterization is also important in the study of oxide minerals. Among the many methods (Sections 7.3 through 7.7), it is important to mention X-ray fluorescence (XRF, Section 7.3.3), which allows a rapid elemental analysis of mineral samples. Electron microscopy allows observation of clay fraction particles shape and, coupled to X-ray spectroscopy, also elemental analysis (Section 7.5). Infrared spectroscopy (Section 7.4.3) is also frequently employed here, difference spectra combined with selective extraction procedures (Hass and Fine 2010) can be used to identify and study minor components (Golden, Dixon, and Kanehiro 1993). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, Section 7.4.4) is in some cases useful (with uneven spin nuclei), for example, to distinguish octahedral and tetrahedral A1 centers (Bertsch and Parker 1996).

The observed phenomena are very similar to the effects on chemisorptive bond strength induced via electrical polarization (0.3 V/A) and concomitant work-function change on well-characterized surfaces under UHV conditions.  

Sodium backspillover as the origin of electrochemical promotion when j8 -Al203, a Na conductor, is used as the solid electrolyte has been recently confirmed by Harkness and Lambert by means of ex situ XPS. These authors found evidence that backspillover Na forms a surface carbonate during the C2H4 + NO reaction that acts as the promoting Na species. 

Most of the spectroscopic information available is concerned with the naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloids and their constituent acidic and basic moieties. This material has been well documented, and new data are 

Simanek et al. and Gupta et al. have each recorded the UV spectra of about 20 pyrrolizidine derivatives. In the latter study, the UV spectra of platynedne (43) and retronecine (127) were examined. Platynecine showed three absorption bands in hexane (206.0,225.6, and 266.9 nm) and only one in methanol (207.0 nm). Retronecine also showed three bands in hexane (206.0, 

Gupta et al. have also made a compilation of IR data on 25 pyrrolizidine esters. Peaks at 740-760, 800-950, 960-980, and 1075-1130cm were assigned to ring deformation modes, and absorptions at 610, 750, and 965 cm were attributed to the saturated flve-membered ring. 

The readily available 3,5-dioxopyrrolizidine (130) has been used in several IR studies. Flitsch investigated the IR spectra of a number of azabicyclic diones. The two imide bands of 130 at 1765 and 1690cm are very

Aaron et al. have studied the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in hy-droxypyrrolizidines.89 They found that with 1-hydroxypyrrolizidines, IR spectra did not positively indicate any hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, with 2-hydroxypyrrolizidines, the cis-epimer (128) is readily isomerized (cyclohexanone, CSH j OK/CsH j,OH) to the more stable trans-epimer (129), which has a relatively weak intramolecular hydrogen bond, displaying a frequency shift of 35 cm 1 [Eq. (34)]. 

Spectroscopic Studies. A large number of papers have been published which describe the spectroscopic properties of methane and its substituted derivatives the molecules examined using each technique (i.r., Raman, u.v., n.m.r., etc.) are listed in Table 3. Structural information has been obtained from both microwave84-86 and n.m.r. data.91 Barriers to internal rotation have been calculated from both microwave84-85,92 and i.r. spectra 93 the results are collected and compared with a theoretically derived value for CH3OH94 in Table 4. The dipole moments of CH3PF284 (2.056 0.006 D) and CF3CN95 (1.262 0.010 D) have also been derived from analyses of microwave spectra. 

The molecular rotation in liquid and solid CC14 and liquid CDC13100 has been estimated from measurements of spin-spin relaxation times of 35C1 in CC14 (250—556 K) and of 2H in CDC13 (301—438 K). Independent Raman studies of the reorientation of CC14101 and CH3I102 in the liquid phase have also been undertaken. 

The configuration and reactivity of methyl radical-cyanide ion pairs produced by dissociative electron capture in the two solid phases of CH3CN have been studied by e.s.r. techniques using CD313CN.103 The results indicate that the radical configuration is planar and that the reactivity of the radical (as estimated from hydrogen-abstraction rates) in crystal I is at least 10 times greater than in crystal II. 

Binding energies and momentum distributions for electrons in the valence orbitals of CH4 have been presented 104 these are the first data obtained by the (e, 2e) reaction (electron-impact ionization with complete determination of the kinematics of the incident and emitted electrons) for a polyatomic molecule. The vertical I.P. s obtained for the lt2 and 2ai electrons of CH4 are compared with values from u.p.s. and photoionization studies in Table 6 the data derived from the three techniques are in satisfactory agreement. 

In a photoionization study of the I.P. and fragment appearance potentials of CHnCU-n (0=s n 3) and CBr4, it has been observed that although CBrJ is stable, CCU is unstable.105 In the energy range studied, fragmentation of the molecules was found to be limited to halogen loss.

Chemical Studies. Increasing concern at the presence of commerical halogeno-methanes (e.g. CF2CI2, CFCI3) in the atmosphere has been manifest in an increase in the number of communications in which their chemistry is described. Fluorocarbons are thought to be inert in the troposphere and to undergo vertical transport into the stratosphere, with subsequent dissociation there. Furthermore,

Spectroscopic Studies of Aziridines.—A review of stereostructural investigations of trans- and c/5-l-alkyl-2-aryl(alkyl)-2-carT3oaziridines by H and C n.m.r. spectroscopy has been published.  

The distribution of invertomers and the thermodynamic parameters for conformational inversion of C-unsubstituted aziridines have been determined by 250 MHz H n.m.r. spectroscopy. The steric hindrance of the aromatic group in C-aryl-aziridines with other ring substituents was found to be consistent with some form of conjugation between the aromatic system and the aziridine ring. 

Collision-induced dissociations have indicated that the Mt radical cation species that is formed in the mass spectrum of aziridine has structure (232). Gaseous stable aziridinium ions have been formed from the 2-phenoxyethanamine molecular ions.

The populations of N invertomers for a number of unsymmetrically substituted aziridines were determined by a quantitative analysis of N—H or N—D overtone bands in their i.r. spectra. Thermodynamic parameters were also determined for c/5-2,3-dimethylaziridine, the syn-anti equilibrium yielding A// = 2.7 kJ mol and AG - 4.7 kJ mol .  

Spectroscopic studies on metal carbonyl complexes were relatively abundant in 1993. They include Iridium carbonyl complexes investigated via NMR O NMR studies on (mesitylene)M CO)3 complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) an interesting NMR method for optimizing the study of slow chemical exchange has been announced natural abundance 0 NMR spectra of metal carbonyl clusters of the iron triad . 

Carbonyl complexes in thin films of polystyrene and other polymers have been studied by Butler et. Polymer films arise again in a paper by Bronshtein et al dealing with the general issue of the photolysis of metal carbonyls in thin films. This technique has become a common and reliable method for exploring metal carbonyl photochemistry. 

The technique of electrospray mass spectrometry has been applied to some ionic Group 6 and Group 7 carbonyl complexes . Also using mass spectrometry, the formation of metal carbonyl anions in the gas-phase has been reported.  

The quasi-spectrscopic technique of photoacoustic calorimetry has been used to determine the M-CO bond energies of a number of carbonyls and other studies make use of the same technique. Li and Butler have reported the solid-state IR photoacoustic spectra of the Group-6 metal carbonyl/t-butylisocyanide Complexes, M(CO)g jj(CN Bu)jj (M = Cr, Mo, W x = 1-3) and the same authors have investigated the IR photoacoustic spectra of the solid Mn(I) carbonyl halides Mn(C0)5X and (Mn(C0)4X 2 (X = Cl, Br, I) . 

Cobalt complexes are the specific area of interest for a paper dealing with the technology of spinning-cell Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. The technique uses near-IR light and, because of the rapidly spinning cell, avoids the problems of sample burning and should be most useful for the study of delicate carbonyl species. Clusters are studied somewhat differently, following UV laser photolysis, in a paper published by Belyaev et.  

2 Spectroscopic Studies. Several studies close to this reporter s heart were published in 2000. Although somewhat outside the remit of this chapter, Andrews and Zhou have produced a number of interesting metal nitrosyl complexes that are closely related to their isoelectronic carbonyl counterparts and Fuss et al. have investigated the femtosecond dynamics of Fe(CO)5 photodis-sodation at 267 nm studied by transient ionisation. 

Mossbauer spectroscopy has not been noted in this report for some years, so it was of some interest to find that Ishiguro and co-workers have produced Sb, Fe and spectra in a detailed study on antimony-transition metal bonds in metal carbonyl derivatives of tertiary stibines. Finally, in this section, Beyer and Leary comment on energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation of Fc2(CO)/ (y = 1-9). 

Finally Bencze et al. have published an analysis of the vibrational spectra, force fields, and molecular structures of pentacarbonyl(methyl)manganese(I), CH3Mn(CO)5, and pentacarbonyl(methyl)rhenium(I),CH3Re(CO)5. 

We have already discussed the use of spectroscopic data for the structural classification of dioxygen complexes in section C and in this sub-section we shall be concerned with the information on electronic structure to be obtained from spectra. 

Electronic Spectra. Systematic studies of the electronic spectra of dioxygen complexes have been limited by problems such as the interference from absorptions due to other ligands present and the instability of many of the complexes in solution. For this reason most published work has been concerned with complexes of cobalt, and with biological compounds such as oxyhaemoglobin where the incentives to overcome the difficulties appear to be greater. The electronic spectra have been reviewed recently by Lever and Gray ) and their reviews contain references to most of the published spectra. 

The treatment of the charge transfer bands in rj complexes is essentially identical and the reader is referred to the reviews for further details The variation of the 

The general conclusion to be drawn from electronic spectroscopic studies is that the model considering only the -d interactions is satisfactory. The absence of reliable data for many transition metals does not allow us to study the effects of variation of metal d-orbital energy by this technique. 

Apart from the references given above and those in the reviews, we may also mention the studies on spectra of doubly bridged rf dioxygen complexes of cobalt by Fallab and his and the detailed studies of biological complexes such as oxy- 

Many of the spectroscopic studies were performed to demonstrate the capability of the technique and of a number of variants which are specific for the combination of laser spectroscopy with fast beams of ions or atoms. An example has already been discussed in Section 3.3 Resonant two-photon exdtation becomes possible by adjusting the Doppler shifts for interaction with the direct and retroreflected laser beam to the atomic transition energies. Other features include the preparation of otherwise inaccessible atomic states, the separation of hyperfine structures from different isotopes by the Doppler shift, or the observation of time-resolved transient phenomena along the beam. The extensive research on nuclear moments and radii from the hyperfine structure and isotope shift constitutes a self-contained program, which will be discussed separately in Section 5. 

Tlie experiments are not discussed systematically, as their scope ranges from the development of the instrumentation to the study of particular atomic systems. This indicates that during the first decade the technique has provided a playground for the experimentalist rather than establishing a standard procedure of atomic structure studies. 

Both infrared and multinuclear NMR spectroscopies have been used to identify homogeneous catalytic intermediates. These spectroscopic methods, if they are 

A porphyrin complex of rhodium catalyzes the reactions between diazomethane derivatives and alkenes to give cyclopropane rings. This is shown by  

A study of this reaction is an appropriate example of the usefulness of spectroscopic method in mechanistic studies. H NMR studies on the reaction between the catalyst and the diazo compound show complexes 2.1 and 2.2 of Fig. 2.11 to be present in the reaction mixture. Complex 2.1 is stable at -40°C, and on warming to 0°C it undergoes conversion to 2.2. This reaction i.e., conversion of 2.1 to 2.2 is one of the several pieces of evidence for the intermediacy of the carbene complex 2.3. In other words, in situ NMR data, in conjunction with other evidences, indicate the involvement of 2.3 as a catalytic intermediate. 

Earlier reports on the preferential solvation of ions by diverse experimental methods were summarized by Schneider [42], Only a few examples of subsequent studies can be discussed here. NMR has been a major technique used for the study of the preferential solvation of ions, using both chemical shifts 5 and spin-lattice relaxation times as the properties p investigated. 

In a few exceptional cases, it was possible to separate the NMR signals from the two solvated states of an ion and infer from the areas under the separate signals the amount of preferential solvation that occurred. Such a case is the preferential solvation of Mg in methanol+water mixtures cooled down to -75°C as reported by Swinehart and Taube [43]. At x =0.076, the local water mole fraction in the first solvation shell of Mg + is 0.128, that is, the ion is preferentially solvated by the aqueous component of the mixture. Other examples of separated signals from the two solvated forms of ions, applicable to room temperature, are confined to ions of a high charge density—small multivalent ions. This was demonstrated by Strehlow et al. [44] for AP in mixtures of A=ethylene carbonate and B=acetonitrile, in which at Xg=0.6, the H NMR spectrum shows the cation to be much more solvated by A than by B. 

Generally, however, rapid solvent exchange occurs at room temperature so that the NMR signals from the two solvated forms cannot be separated. Still, the average chemical shifts =/(Xg) can yield information on the preferential solvation of ions P in the solvent mixture Ah-B. The midpoint of the function bet- 

The of P= Na in mixtures of A=EG and B=MeCN was interpreted in terms of the stepwise replacement of B in 1B + by A, taking into account the nonideality of the Ah-B system. Quantitative evidence for the preferential solvation of sodium ions by ethylene glycol was obtained by Chuang et al. [52]. The 5. , of of the carbonyl group in 1M solutions of LiPF in binary solvent mixtures involving esters and amides was interpreted in terms of preferential coordination of the solvents to Li with a constant total coordination number of 4. In isomolar mixtures of A=methyl propionate and B = ethyl methyl carbonate Xg = 0.39, of A=MA -dimeth-ylacetamide and B=propylene carbonate Xg =0.40, and of A=methyl propionate and B = ethyl propionate Xg = 0.43 according to Matsubara et al. [53]. In all these cases Xg 0.50, and hence it is solvent A that preferentially solvates the ion. 

NMR relaxation rates of Na, Rb, H, and N in A=water and B=MeCN showed according to Baum and Holz [54] that both the sodium and rubidium cations are strongly preferentially hydrated in the mixtures. The relaxation rates of H and in solutions of Nal in mixtures of A=water and B=NMF, in which H atoms resided 

Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are powerful tools in the elucidation of the ionic conductivity/ionic association relationship in PE systems. This sort of spectroscopic analysis usually involves the examination of diagnostic bands of the host polymer and of the anion. In the case of the organic/ inorganic hybrid matrices incorporating organic cross-links (e.g. di-ureasils), this study must also include the analysis of the bands characteristic of these functional groups (i.e. urea groups). 

The Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra should be collected over the same wavenumber range, also at a high resolution (2-1 cm ). An accumulation time for each spectrum of 4 hours is adequate. 

To evaluate complex band envelopes and to identify underlying component bands of the spectra, it is often necessary to perform classical curvefitting procedures, using for instance an iterative least-squares curve-fitting procedure such as that proposed in the Peakfit (San Rafael, CA) software. The best fit of the experimental data may be obtained by varying the frequency, bandwidth and intensity of the bands. In most cases it is appropriate to employ Gaussian band shapes. 

Several vibrational modes of POE are sensitive to the interaction of the polymer backbone with cations and can be thus employed as diagnostic tools to monitor the changes undergone by the polyether chains upon addition of the guest salt. Two spectral regions have been widely used to probe the coordination of the cations to host polyethers  

A typical procedure adopted to monitor the coordination of cations to POE chains, based on the inspection of the skeleton vCOC modes in the FT-IR spectra, follows. The example given deals with a study previously carried out by our group on d-U(2000) LiCF3S03 di-ureasil ormolytes. In the 

This section is not intended as a comprehensive survey of the spectroscopic comparisons that have been made on hydro complexes of nickel, palladium, and platinum. A number of the more important studies are reviewed, however, and if this section is taken with Table XIII the reader should be able to develop a good framework of reference for interpretation of his results.

A further study of these second-order effects has been made by Dingle and Dixon (133) who had earlier found that the F NMR spectrum of [PtF(PPh3)3] could not be interpreted using a simple first-order analysis procedure (134). Their conclusions on the hydro. complexes (133) were essentially the same as those proposed earlier (279) however, they extended the study to cations [PtH(PEt3)3]and 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Involving Other Nuclei 

For irawj-PtHCN(PEt3)2, it was observed that 7i3o-h = Hz and that the chemical shift of the hydro group trans to CN was about 0.006 ppm downfield from that which was trans to CN (297). 

Spectroscopic information is used for two basic objectives to gather compositional or structural evidence about new or known species present in solution and to monitor changes in their concentrations with time. While almost all spectroscopic techniques corresponding to the entire electromagnetic spectrum have been used for such studies, infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have proved to be particularly useful for the following reasons. 

there are a number of homogeneous catalytic reactions, such as carbonylation and hydroformylation (see Chapters 4 and 5), where carbon monoxide is used as one of the reactants. Coordinated carbon monoxide, as mentioned earlier, has a strong characteristic IR absorption that is sensitive to the electronic environment of the complex. The compositional or structural changes of carbonyl complexes result in a change in the carbonyl region of the IR spectra. 

Second, NMR spectra of nuclei such as H, P, and C are easy to record. One or more of these nuclei are often present in the catalytic intermediates. Apart from these nuclei, Rh, Pt, Si, andalso have nuclear spin equal to Vi. By using advanced NMR techniques, complexes with one or more of all these nuclei can be investigated in exquisite detail. 

in many instances by using NMR techniques, time-dependent structural changes of catalytic intermediates can also be studied. Finally, many common reactants of homogeneous catalytic reactions, e.g., CO, H, and RCH=CH2, can be labeled with and (nuclear spin 1). As discussed later, such isotopic substitution often provides valuable additional mechanistic information both in NMR and in IR studies. 

Probably, the principal reason why it is so difficult to find covalent ester bonds between coupling agents and wood fiber in WPC, employing spectroscopic observations, is that wood fiber itself contains plenty of hemicellulosic materials (besides cellulose and lignin), which in turn contain plenty of ether and ester bonds, creating a heavy background for spectroscopic measurements. It would have been more reasonable to use, for such studies, bleached cellulose or pure cellulose, such as of cotton fiber.

COMPOSITION OF WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITES COUPLING AGENTS 

In the absence of normal coordinate calculations for the free bases all investigations of the infrared spectra of bipyridyl and phenanthroline complexes have necessarily been empirical. 

4000-600 cm The infrared spectra in the rock-salt region of a comprehensive range of complexes have been tabulated (392, 520, 556, 626, 644). The spectra are very similar with the exception of those of the spin-paired iron(II) complexes (392). The spectra of iron(II) complexes with bipyridyl, phenanthroline, and related a-diimine ligands have been discussed by Busch and Bailar (122). 

It has been suggested that cis-bis(2,2 -bipyridyl) complexes show greater complexity in the region 700-800 cm than do iraras-bis(2,2 -bipyridyl) complexes (500). One complex, [Rh(III)(bipy)2Cl2], which is now known to be definitely cis and which gives a rich spectrum between 700 and 800 cm, has also been said to be the trans isomer (287, 452). Since the complex spectra are generally recorded for the solid state, it is clear that spectra-structure correlations of the above type must be used with caution. 

The infrared spectra of substituted bipyridyls have been studied (155) it was concluded that the overtone region of 1600-2000 cm was diagnostic of the substitution pattern. At least one study of the proton-ated base has appeared (173), but N-H modes were primarily discussed. 

600-200 cm. The far-infrared region of the spectrum is of great potential interest and importance since fundamental modes which involve a considerable contribution from vibrations of the metal-to-ligand bond are expected in this low frequency region. 

The free energy difference between the two rotamers 126a and 126b was estimated to be 0.8 kcal/mol in favor of 126a by temperature-dependent CD curves (40). Free energy differences of derivatives 103,131, and 132 were estimated to be 1.0, 0.7, and 0.2 kcal/mol, respectively. This shows that the important factor in determining the conformational chirality of the biphenyl moiety is the presence of the 2,6-trans disubstituted piperidine ring in the molecule.

Before discussing the distribution of r (C=C) frequencies for metal-alkynyl compounds, we make note of two caveats. First, it is clear that there are complexes in Table VI for which incorrect frequencies have been reported. A particularly egregious example is the simple compound trarti-Pt(C CPh)2(PPh3)2, for which frequencies of 2090 (290), 

A second cautionary note regards the j (C=C) frequencies of complexes with two or more chemically equivalent alkynyl ligands. Depending on the symmetry of the compound, the spectra of these species may exhibit more than one band, because the r (C=C) modes consist of 

The only alkynyl complexes for which i (C-R) frequencies are routinely reported are those of the parent ethynyl ligand, C=CH [i (C-H) = 3250-3300 cm ]. Bell and Chisholm reported infrared-spectroscopic frequencies for the natural-abundance and deuterium-labeled pairs of complexes /ra i-Pt(C=CH/D)2(PMe2Ph)2 and tra/w-Pt(C=CH/D)X (PMe2Ph)2 (X = Cl, CC1=CH2/D2) the alkynyl /(C-H) and j/(C-D) infrared bands appear at ca. 3280 cm and 2550 cm , respectively, with the y(C=C) frequencies of these isotopomers being approximately 1970 cm for C=CH and 1850 cm for C=CD (S40). 

In the case of the same zeolites containing alkaline earth cations, by way of contrast, the red shift increased in magnitude with the polarising power (charge/radius ratio) of the cations for mordenite, but this trend was found to be reversed in zeolite X (Khodakov et al., 1992). The difference was ascribed to the importance in low silica zeolites of hydrolysis during 

8 cm Ortho-para splittings in the range 4.5-6 crn have also been observed in CaNaA by Forster and Frede (1984) and in the titanosilicate Na-ETSIO by Zecchina et al. (1999), while Borokhov et al. (2000) showed that DRIFT spectra of both ortho- and para-U.2 adsorbed on BaX can be analysed in terms of the Stark effect. 

Unlike hydrogen adsorbed on alkali or alkaline earth cations in zeolites, detailed IR studies of H2 adsorbed on zeolites containing transition metal cations have been reported only relatively recently. Kazansky et al. (1999a) observed five bands in the DRIFT spectrum of ZnNaY, two of which were attributed to hydrogen adsorbed on Zn cations. Serykh et al. (2000) found 

Ricchiardi et al. (2007) reported the observation by IR of hydrogen adsorption on ETSIO. Distinct bands from ortho- and para-Yl2 in different adsorbed states were observed, and the conversion of ortho-para was measured over a timescale of hours, indicating the presence of a catalysed reaction. Hydrogen adsorption at 20 K was found to occur in three different regimes at low pressures ordered 1 1 adducts with Na and K ions exposed in the channels of the material were formed, which gradually converted into ordered 2 1 adducts, with further addition of H2 occurring through the formation of a disordered condensed phase (see Fig. 9.5). 

In a pioneering study, Stockmeyer (1985) found that the H2 motion in a sample of natural chabazite, predominantly containing calcium ions, was gas-like at room temperature but solid-like below 200 K with a continuous change between the extremes. At low temperature a broad frequency spectrum was derived containing peaks at 48 and 88cm (6 and 11 meV), thought to 

The sharp band at 3570 cm (Fig. 2) is assigned to the OH stretch, based on its move to 2610 cm on deuteration and the presence of a similar band in synthetic HAP. The 

A weak band at 866 cm seen in deconvoluted FTIR spectra of enamel, bone and synthetic analogues has been assigned to COs ions in a labile environment (Rey et al. 1989). This environment is probably additional to those that might be responsible for the effects noted above. The intensity of this band with respect to other V2 bands fell with increasing age of enamel (Rey et al. 1991b) and bone (Rey et al. 1991a). 

More recent spectroscopic work. Most of the recent advances in IR and Raman studies of mineralized tissue have been possible as a result of improvements in data analysis and instrumentation, particularly microscopic methods that allow spectra to be obtained from micron sized regions of tissue. For example, Paschalis et al. (1996) used FTIR microspectroscopy to study the mineral/matrix, (total carbonate)/phosphate, and CO3 Type A/Type B ratios across human osteons in 10 pm steps. The resolution was 4 cm for spectra from 20 x 20 pm areas. Similar instrumentation and data analysis have been used to study changes in mineral content and composition in biopsies of non- 

Melanins have been investigated spectrophotometrically by different authors (70,259) but the results are of little value in elucidating the structure of the pigment molecule.

They found that adsorption of o- and p-nitroanilines from cyclohexane onto Silochrome shifted the u.v. maximum to longer wavelengths, but there was no effect on the spectrum of the m-isomer. These shifts were correlated with the basicity of the series of isomers. The second paper deals with the adsorption of aniline and amino-phenols where evidence was found for hydrogen-bond formation and interaction of the unshared electron pair of nitrogen with the surface. 

The relationship between phenol adsorption and the chemical state of carbon surfaces is unclear. Some workershave claimed that the presence of surface oxides decreases the adsorption of phenol, others that it enhanced 

The adsorption of binary organic mixtures by a porous carbon was studied by Takeuchi and Furaya, the components being chosen such that some were accepted by and some excluded from 0.5 nm micropores. The experimental results could be represented by a combination of Freundlich adsorption isotherms, the parameters of which could be related to the physical properties of the adsorptives, and it was found possible to predict satisfactorily the adsorption isotherms of new systems. The adsorption by and desorption from active carbon has been reported by Andreikova, Kondratov, and Kogan, who found that adsorption from (unspecified) organic solvents decreased in the series phenol quinoline phenanthrene acenaphthene naphthalene. In desorption, acidic compounds are best desorbed with a mixture of methanol and dichloroethane but for basic compounds benzene is most effective.

There are two fimdamental types of spectroscopic studies absorption and emission. In absorption spectroscopy an atom or molecule in a low-lying electronic state, usually the ground state, absorbs a photon to go to a higher state. In emission spectroscopy the atom or molecule is produced in a higher electronic state by some excitation process, and emits a photon in going to a lower state. In this section we will consider the traditional instrumentation for studying the resulting spectra. They define the quantities measured and set the standard for experimental data to be considered.

Procedure. Use Mathcad, QLLSQ, or TableCurve (or, preferably, all three) to determine a value of the ionization energy of hydrogen from the wave numbers in Table 3-4 taken from spectroscopic studies of the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum where ni = 1. 

Of course, the guesses above aren t really guesses. They are predicated on many years of Raman and other spectroscopic experience and calculations that are the reverse of the calculation we descr ibed. In spectroscopic studies, one normally calculates the force constants from the stretching frequencies in modeling, one... 

Such is the case of 2-amino or 2-(monoalkyl or arylamino)-4-oxo-selenazolines. Thus because of this aminoc=iimino tautomerism. these compounds can be called 2-aminose enazo ines or 2-iminoselenazolidines and can be classed either as selenazolines or selenazolidines. This has been a source of controversy that has been resolved by recent spectroscopic studies (67. 68).

Historically, the first spectroscopic studies involved characterizing the emission of visible light from the sun, from flames, and from salts added to flames. Our survey of spectroscopy, however, begins with absorption because it is the more important technique in modern analytical spectroscopy. 

Special techniques for experimentation with the actinide elements other than Th and U have been devised because of the potential health ha2ard to the experimenter and the small amounts available (15). In addition, iavestigations are frequently carried out with the substance present ia very low coaceatratioa as a radioactive tracer. Such procedures coatiaue to be used to some exteat with the heaviest actinide elements, where only a few score atoms may be available they were used ia the earHest work for all the transuranium elements. Tracer studies offer a method for obtaining knowledge of oxidation states, formation of complex ions, and the solubiHty of various compounds. These techniques are not appHcable to crystallography, metallurgy, and spectroscopic studies. 

Formaldehyde is produced and sold as water solutions containing variable amounts of methanol. These solutions are complex equiUbrium mixtures of methylene glycol, CH2(OH)2, poly(oxymethylene glycols), and hemiformals of these glycols. Ultraviolet spectroscopic studies (13—15) iadicate that even ia highly concentrated solutions the content of unhydrated HCHO is <0.04 wt%. 

The only example of xenon in a fractional oxidation state, +, is the bright emerald green paramagnetic dixenon cation, Xe [12185-20-5]. Mixtures of xenon and fluorine gases react spontaneously with tiquid antimony pentafluoride in the dark to form solutions of XeF+ Sb2 F, in which Xe is formed as an iatermediate product that is subsequently oxidized by fluorine to the XeF+ cation (83). Spectroscopic studies have shown that xenon is oxidized at room temperature by solutions of XeF+ ia SbF solvent to give the XE cation (84). 

In the near-infrared, Al Ga As and In Ga As P lasers, and in the far-infrared lead compound semiconductor lasers are tunable by varying temperature and operating current. Many exceUent spectroscopic studies have been performed using them. However, they do have relatively limited tuning ranges for any one device. 

Structure of the MoFe Protein. Extensive spectroscopic studies of the MoEe proteia, the appHcation of cluster extmsion techniques (84,151), x-ray anomalous scattering, and x-ray diffraction (10,135—137,152) have shown that the MoEe proteia contains two types of prosthetic groups, ie, protein-bound metal clusters, each of which contains about 50% of the Ee and content. Sixteen of the 30 Ee atoms and 14—16 of the 32—34... 

As the C B series of tetracarbaboranes is classified in the electron-counting formaUsm as nido, these molecules are expected to have open stmctures even though extra hydrogens are absent. Spectroscopic studies (130) have confirmed this expectation for 2,3,4,5-C4B2H3 [28323-17-3]. One isomer of (CH3)4C4BgHg has the open nonicosahedral stmcture shown in Figure 11 and another isomer, the 1,2,3,8-tetramethyl compound [54387-54-1], is apparently even more open (131). Other tetracarbaboranes include isomers of nido-Q]. and (132). 

Photoelectron spectroscopic studies show that the first ionization potential (lone pair electrons) for cyclic amines falls in the order aziridine (9.85 eV) > azetidine (9.04) > pyrrolidine (8.77) >piperidine (8.64), reflecting a decrease in lone pair 5-character in the series. This correlates well with the relative vapour phase basicities determined by ion cyclotron resonance, but not with basicity in aqueous solution, where azetidine (p/iTa 11.29) appears more basic than pyrrolidine (11.27) or piperidine (11.22). Clearly, solvation effects influence basicity (74JA288).
