Infrared Spectra of the Crystalline Inorganic Borates.

ABSTRACT: Infrared absorption spectra of anhydrous, crystalline, inorganic borates were obtained in the 2000 cm-1 to 300 cm-1 range. Compounds with B10 and B11 isotopes were prepared to assist interpretation. Spectral bands for all orthoborates and pyroborates and some metaborates could be assigned satisfactorily. Borates with complex ring-type anions generally exhibited spectra of such complexity that only superficial interpretation was attempted. From correlations between spectra and structure it appears that boron in 3-fold or in 4-fold coordination can be identified with reasonable assurance on the basis of the infrared spectrum alone. Absorption bands are tabulated for about 80 borates and typical spectra are shown.

The thermodynamic scale of inorganic crystalline metastability.

Project description:The space of metastable materials offers promising new design opportunities for next-generation technological materials, such as complex oxides, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, steels, and beyond. Although metastable phases are ubiquitous in both nature and technology, only a heuristic understanding of their underlying thermodynamics exists. We report a large-scale data-mining study of the Materials Project, a high-throughput database of density functional theory-calculated energetics of Inorganic Crystal Structure Database structures, to explicitly quantify the thermodynamic scale of metastability for 29,902 observed inorganic crystalline phases. We reveal the influence of chemistry and composition on the accessible thermodynamic range of crystalline metastability for polymorphic and phase-separating compounds, yielding new physical insights that can guide the design of novel metastable materials. We further assert that not all low-energy metastable compounds can necessarily be synthesized, and propose a principle of 'remnant metastability'-that observable metastable crystalline phases are generally remnants of thermodynamic conditions where they were once the lowest free-energy phase.

Near-Infrared Spectra of High-Density Crystalline H2O Ices II, IV, V, VI, IX, and XII.

Project description:High-pressure ice polymorphs are important for our understanding of hydrogen bonding and exist in the interior of the earth and icy moons. Nonetheless, spectroscopic information about them is scarce, where no information about their optical properties in the near-infrared (NIR) region is available at all. We here report NIR spectra of six ice polymorphs differing in terms of their density and O-atom topology, namely, ices II, IV, V, VI, IX, and XII, in comparison with the known spectra of ice Ih. By contrast to earlier work, we do not use mulling agents or transmission of thin films but use diffuse reflectance on powdered samples in liquid nitrogen. The first overtone of the OH-stretching mode is identified as the marker band most suitable to distinguish between these ices. There is a clear blue shift of this band that increases with increasing topological density in addition to a significant narrowing of the band.

Anharmonicity and Spectra-Structure Correlations in MIR and NIR Spectra of Crystalline Menadione (Vitamin K3).

Project description:Mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectra of crystalline menadione (vitamin K3) were measured and analyzed with aid of quantum chemical calculations. The calculations were carried out using the harmonic approach for the periodic model of crystal lattice and the anharmonic DVPT2 calculations applied for the single molecule model. The theoretical spectra accurately reconstructed the experimental ones permitting for reliable assignment of the MIR and NIR bands. For the first time, a detailed analysis of the NIR spectrum of a molecular system based on a naphthoquinone moiety was performed to elucidate the relationship between the chemical structure of menadione and the origin of the overtones and combination bands. In addition, the importance of these bands during interpretation of the MIR spectrum was demonstrated. The overtones and combination bands contribute to 46.4% of the total intensity of menadione in the range of 3600-2600 cm-1. Evidently, these bands play a key role in shaping of the C-H stretching region of MIR spectrum. We have shown also that the spectral regions without fundamentals may provide valuable structural information. For example, the theoretical calculations reliably reconstructed numerous overtones and combination bands in the 4000-3600 and 2800-1800 cm-1 ranges. These results, provide a comprehensive origin of the fundamentals, overtones and combination bands in the NIR and MIR spectra of menadione, and the relationship of these spectral features with the molecular structure.

Charting the complete elastic properties of inorganic crystalline compounds.

Project description:The elastic constant tensor of an inorganic compound provides a complete description of the response of the material to external stresses in the elastic limit. It thus provides fundamental insight into the nature of the bonding in the material, and it is known to correlate with many mechanical properties. Despite the importance of the elastic constant tensor, it has been measured for a very small fraction of all known inorganic compounds, a situation that limits the ability of materials scientists to develop new materials with targeted mechanical responses. To address this deficiency, we present here the largest database of calculated elastic properties for inorganic compounds to date. The database currently contains full elastic information for 1,181 inorganic compounds, and this number is growing steadily. The methods used to develop the database are described, as are results of tests that establish the accuracy of the data. In addition, we document the database format and describe the different ways it can be accessed and analyzed in efforts related to materials discovery and design.

Liquid crystalline 2D borophene oxide for inorganic optical devices.

Project description:Borophene has been recently proposed as a next-generation two-dimensional material with promising electronic and optical properties. However, its instability has thus far limited its large-scale applications. Here, we investigate a liquid-state borophene analogue with an ordered layer structure derived from two-dimensional borophene oxide. The material structure, phase transition features and basic properties are revealed by using X-ray analysis, optical and electron microscopy, and thermal characterization. The obtained liquid crystal exhibits high thermal stability at temperatures up to 350 °C and an optical switching behaviour driven by a low voltage of 1 V.

Infrared and Raman spectra of lignin substructures: Dibenzodioxocin.

Project description:Vibrational spectroscopy is a very suitable tool for investigating the plant cell wall in situ with almost no sample preparation. The structural information of all different constituents is contained in a single spectrum. Interpretation therefore heavily relies on reference spectra and understanding of the vibrational behavior of the components under study. For the first time, we show infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of dibenzodioxocin (DBDO), an important lignin substructure. A detailed vibrational assignment of the molecule, based on quantum chemical computations, is given in the Supporting Information; the main results are found in the paper. Furthermore, we show IR and Raman spectra of synthetic guaiacyl lignin (dehydrogenation polymer-G-DHP). Raman spectra of DBDO and G-DHP both differ with respect to the excitation wavelength and therefore reveal different features of the substructure/polymer. This study confirms the idea previously put forward that Raman at 532 nm selectively probes end groups of lignin, whereas Raman at 785 nm and IR seem to represent the majority of lignin substructures.

Screening of Oligopeptides that Recognize Inorganic Crystalline Facets of Metal Nanoparticles.

Project description:Peptides that possess specific affinity to distinct crystal facets have been reported previously. However, their adsorption behavior in terms of the crystal sizes and shapes is less exploited. Herein, we isolate several phage clones that show the strong affinity to {100} of Pd at a neutral pH from the M13 phage library, and among them the phages that have shape selectivity to the cubic structure are identified by eliminating ones that bind randomly shaped Pd nanoparticles (NPs). Since Pd nanocube-binding phages are eluted by lowering pH values in the biopanning process, the selected phages (and their binding peptides displayed on protein pIII) can be released from Pd surfaces through pH changes. We used this feature to modulate the capping density of selected peptides on NPs. For example, when less peptides are capped on Pd nanocubes by lowering the pH values, the shape of the nanocubes is deformed and some evolve into a concave shape, indicating that Pd atoms are released from the less protected {100} facet selectively due to the higher surface energy. This type of crystalline facet-recognizing peptides can be applied for smart capping agents that not only bind target crystalline planes, but also modify their coverage on the specific surfaces with pH changes. The peptide-capping agents could be useful to fabricate NPs with characteristic shapes through etching and adsorption of atoms on specific crystalline planes of seed nanocrystals.

Computing infrared spectra of proteins using the exciton model.

Project description:The ability to compute from first principles the infrared spectrum of a protein in solution phase representing a biological system would provide a useful connection to atomistic models of protein structure and dynamics. Indeed, such calculations are a vital complement to 2DIR experimental measurements, allowing the observed signals to be interpreted in terms of detailed structural and dynamical information. In this article, we have studied nine structurally and spectroscopically well-characterized proteins, representing a range of structural types. We have simulated the equilibrium conformational dynamics in an explicit point charge water model. Using the resulting trajectories based on MD simulations, we have computed the one and two dimensional infrared spectra in the Amide I region, using an exciton approach, in which a local mode basis of carbonyl stretches is considered. The role of solvent in shifting the Amide I band (by 30 to 50 cm-1 ) is clearly evident. Similarly, the conformational dynamics contribute to the broadening of peaks in the spectrum. The inhomogeneous broadening in both the 1D and 2D spectra reflects the significant conformational diversity observed in the simulations. Through the computed 2D cross-peak spectra, we show how different pulse schemes can provide additional information on the coupled vibrations. © 2016 The Authors.

Theoretical Infrared Spectra: Quantitative Similarity Measures and Force Fields.

Project description:Infrared spectroscopy can provide significant insight into the structures and dynamics of molecules of all sizes. The information that is contained in the spectrum is, however, often not easily extracted without the aid of theoretical calculations or simulations. We present here the calculation of the infrared spectra of a database of 703 gas phase compounds with four different force fields (CGenFF, GAFF-BCC, GAFF-ESP, and OPLS) using normal-mode analysis. Modern force fields increasingly use virtual sites to describe, e.g., lone-pair electrons or the σ-holes on halogen atoms. This requires some adaptation of code to perform normal-mode analysis of such compounds, the implementation of which into the GROMACS software is briefly described as well. For the quantitative comparison of the obtained spectra with experimental reference data, we discuss the application of two different statistical correlation coefficients, Pearson and Spearman. The advantages and drawbacks of the different methods of comparison are discussed, and we find that both methods of comparison give the same overall picture, showing that present force field methods cannot match the performance of quantum chemical methods for the calculation of infrared spectra.

Laboratory infrared spectra and fragmentation chemistry of sulfur allotropes.

Project description:Sulfur is one of six life-essential elements, but its path from interstellar clouds to planets and their atmospheres is not well known. Astronomical observations in dense clouds have so far been able to trace only 1 percent of cosmic sulfur, in the form of gas phase molecules and volatile ices, with the missing sulfur expected to be locked in a currently unidentified form. The high sulfur abundances inferred in icy and rocky solar system bodies indicate that an efficient pathway must exist from volatile atomic sulfur in the diffuse interstellar medium to some form of refractory sulfur. One hypothesis is the formation of sulfur allotropes, particularly of the stable S8. However, experimental information about sulfur allotropes under astrochemically relevant conditions, needed to constrain their abundance, is lacking. Here, we report the laboratory far-infrared spectra of sulfur allotropes and examine their fragmentation pathways. The spectra, including that of cold, isolated S8 with three bands at 53.5, 41.3 and 21.1 µm, form a benchmark for computational modelling, which show a near-perfect match with the experiments. The experimental fragmentation pathways of sulfur allotropes, key information for astrochemical formation/destruction models, evidence a facile fragmentation of S8. These findings suggest the presence of sulfur allotropes distributions in interstellar space or in the atmosphere of planets, dependent on the environmental conditions.
