Resolving sub-angstrom ambient motion through reconstruction from vibrational spectra.

ABSTRACT: Metal/organic-molecule interactions underpin many key chemistries but occur on sub-nm scales where nanoscale visualisation techniques tend to average over heterogeneous distributions. Single molecule imaging techniques at the atomic scale have found it challenging to track chemical behaviour under ambient conditions. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can optically monitor the vibrations of single molecules but understanding is limited by the complexity of spectra and mismatch between theory and experiment. We demonstrate that spectra from an optically generated metallic adatom near a molecule of interest can be inverted into dynamic sub-Å metal-molecule interactions using a comprehensive model, revealing anomalous diffusion of a single atom. Transient metal-organic coordination bonds chemically perturb molecular functional groups > 10 bonds away. With continuous improvements in computational methods for modelling large and complex molecular systems, this technique will become increasingly applicable to accurately tracking more complex chemistries.

Electronic and Vibrational Absorption Spectra of NH2 in Solid Ne.

Project description:Irradiation of ammonia dispersed in solid neon near 4 K with tunable far-ultraviolet light from a synchrotron yielded amidogen, NH2, and imidogen, NH, radicals as products. The electronic absorption spectra of amidogen radicals in isotopic variants NH2, NHD, and ND2 were recorded in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions after photolysis of NH3 and ND3. The infrared absorption lines of NH2 associated with vibration-rotational levels of vibrational modes ν1 at 3234.3 (00,0-10,1), 3244.9 (00,0-11,1), and 3249.3 cm-1 (00,0-11,0), and ν2 at 1498.7 (10,1-11,1), 1509.5 (11,0-10,1), 1516.5 (00,0-10,1), 1528.6 (00,0-11,1), and 1533.7 cm-1 (00,0-11,0) were unambiguously identified according to the results of experiments with deuterium isotopes. The 00,0-00,0 lines of ν1 and ν2 for NH2 were derived to be at 3213.5 and 1494.6 cm-1 in solid neon.

Accurate reconstruction of viral quasispecies spectra through improved estimation of strain richness.

Project description:BackgroundEstimating the number of different species (richness) in a mixed microbial population has been a main focus in metagenomic research. Existing methods of species richness estimation ride on the assumption that the reads in each assembled contig correspond to only one of the microbial genomes in the population. This assumption and the underlying probabilistic formulations of existing methods are not useful for quasispecies populations where the strains are highly genetically related.ResultsOn benchmark data sets, our estimation method provided accurate richness estimates (< 0.2 median estimation error) and improved the precision of ViQuaS by 2%-13% and F-score by 1%-9% without compromising the recall rates. We also demonstrate that our estimation method can be used to improve the precision and F-score of ShoRAH by 0%-7% and 0%-5% respectively.ConclusionsThe proposed probabilistic estimation method can be used to estimate the richness of viral populations with a quasispecies behavior and to improve the accuracy of the quasispecies spectra reconstructed by the existing methods ViQuaS and ShoRAH in the presence of a moderate level of technical sequencing errors.Availabilityhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/viquas/.

Predicting Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectra of [Fe(OEP)(NO)].

Project description:Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy (NRVS) is a sensitive vibrational probe for biologically important heme complexes. The exquisite sensitivity of the NRVS data to the electronic structure provides detailed insights into the nature of these interesting compounds, but requires highly accurate computational methods for the mode assignments. To determine the best combinations of density functionals and basis sets, a series of benchmark DFT calculations on the previously characterized complex [Fe(OEP)NO] (OEP(2-)=octaethylporphyrinatio dianion) were performed. A test set of 21 methodology combinations including 8 functionals (BP86, mPWPW91, B3LYP, PBE1PBE, M062X, M06L, LC-BP86 and ?B97X-D) and 5 basis set (VTZ, TZVP, Lanl2DZ for iron and 6-31G*, 6-31+G* for other atoms) was carried out to calculate electronic structures and vibrational frequencies. We also implemented the conversion of frequency calculations into orientation-selective mode composition factors (e(2)), which can used to simulate the Vibrational Density Of States (VDOS) using Gaussian normal distribution functions. These use a series of user-friendly scripts for their application to NRVS. The structures as well as the isotropic and anisotropic NRVS of [Fe(OEP)NO] obtained with the M06L functional with a variety of basis sets are found to best reproduce the available experimental data, followed by B3LYP/LanL2DZ calculations. Other density functionals and basis sets do not produce the same level of accuracy. The noticeably worse agreement between theory and experiment for the out-plane NRVS compared with the excellent performance of the M06L functional for the in-plane prediction is attributed to deficiencies of the physical model rather than the computational methodology.

An Intuitively Understandable Quality Measure for Theoretical Vibrational Spectra.

Project description:Computational chemistry has become a central tool in spectroscopic studies in most of chemical science. The quality of a calculated vibrational spectrum is commonly expressed as the deviation of the peak position from the experimental reference. With the increasing application of vibrational spectroscopy to complex (biological) systems, this is likely not sustainable. Here we present a quality measure for theoretical vibrational spectra based on matching the spectra to a reference database with the help of correlation coefficients. This approach can easily be applied to large sets of data and complex spectra without easily identifiable peak positions. We demonstrate this on a database of infrared spectra of 670 compounds using six different theoretical (DFT and force field) methods. Most importantly, it is intuitively understandable by both theoreticians and experimentalists.

Vibrational Tunneling Spectra of Molecules with Asymmetric Wells: A Combined Vibrational Configuration Interaction and Instanton Approach.

Project description:A combined approach that uses the vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) and semiclassical instanton theory was developed to study vibrational tunneling spectra of molecules with multiple wells in full dimensionality. The method can be applied to calculate low-lying vibrational states in the systems with an arbitrary number of minima, which are not necessarily equal in energy or shape. It was tested on a two-dimensional double-well model system and on malonaldehyde, and the calculations reproduced the exact quantum mechanical (QM) results with high accuracy. The method was subsequently applied to calculate the vibrational spectrum of the asymmetrically deuterated malonaldehyde with nondegenerate vibrational frequencies in the two wells. The spectrum is obtained at a cost of single-well VCI calculations used to calculate the local energies. The interactions between states of different wells are computed semiclassically using the instanton theory at a comparatively negligible computational cost. The method is particularly suited to systems in which the wells are separated by large potential barriers and tunneling splittings are small, for example, in some water clusters, when the exact QM methods come at a prohibitive computational cost.

Tracking water dimers in ambient nanocapsules by vibrational spectroscopy.

Project description:Nanoconfined few-molecule water clusters are invaluable systems to study fundamental aspects of hydrogen bonding. Unfortunately, most experiments on water clusters must be performed at cryogenic temperatures. Probing water clusters in noncryogenic systems is however crucial to understand the behavior of confined water in atmospheric or biological settings, but such systems usually require either complex synthesis and/or introduce many confounding external bonds to the clusters. Here, we show that combining Raman spectroscopy with the molecular nanocapsule cucurbituril is a powerful technique to sequester and analyze water clusters in ambient conditions. We observe sharp peaks in vibrational spectra arising from a single rigid confined water dimer. The high resolution and rich information in these vibrational spectra allow us to track specific isotopic exchanges inside the water dimer, verified with density-functional theory and kinetic population modeling. We showcase the versatility of such molecular nanocapsules by tracking water cluster vibrations through systematic changes in confinement size, in temperatures up to 120° C, and in their chemical environment.

Comprehensive Density Functional Theory Studies of Vibrational Spectra of Carbonates.

Project description:Within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) and the hybrid functional B3LYP by means of the CRYSTAL17 program code, the wavenumbers and intensities of normal oscillations of MgCO3, CaCO3, ZnCO3, CdCO3 in the structure of calcite; CaMg(CO3)2, CdMg(CO3)2, CaMn(CO3)2, CaZn(CO3)2 in the structure of dolomite; BaMg(CO3)2 in the structure of the norsethite type; and CaCO3, SrCO3, BaCO3, and PbCO3 in the structure of aragonite were calculated. Infrared absorption and Raman spectra were compared with the known experimental data of synthetic and natural crystals. For lattice and intramolecular modes, linear dependences on the radius and mass of the metal cation are established. The obtained dependences have predictive power and can be used to study solid carbonate solutions. For trigonal and orthorhombic carbonates, the linear dependence of wavenumbers on the cation radius RM (or M-O distance) is established for the infrared in-plane bending mode: 786.2-65.88·RM and Raman in-plane stretching mode: 768.5-53.24·RM, with a correlation coefficient of 0.87.

The prediction of swarming in honeybee colonies using vibrational spectra.

Project description:In this work, we disclose a non-invasive method for the monitoring and predicting of the swarming process within honeybee colonies, using vibro-acoustic information. Two machine learning algorithms are presented for the prediction of swarming, based on vibration data recorded using accelerometers placed in the heart of honeybee hives. Both algorithms successfully discriminate between colonies intending and not intending to swarm with a high degree of accuracy, over 90% for each method, with successful swarming prediction up to 30 days prior to the event. We show that instantaneous vibrational spectra predict the swarming within the swarming season only, and that this limitation can be lifted provided that the history of the evolution of the spectra is accounted for. We also disclose queen toots and quacks, showing statistics of the occurrence of queen pipes over the entire swarming season. From this we were able to determine that (1) tooting always precedes quacking, (2) under natural conditions there is a 4 to 7 day period without queen tooting following the exit of the primary swarm, and (3) human intervention, such as queen clipping and the opening of a hive, causes strong interferences with important mechanisms for the prevention of simultaneous rival queen emergence.

Evolution of Vibrational Spectra in the Manganese-Silicon Clusters Mn2Sin, n = 10, 12, and 13, and Cationic [Mn2Si13].

Project description:A comparison of DFT-computed and measured infrared spectra reveals the ground state structures of a series of gas-phase silicon clusters containing a common Mn2 unit. Mn2Si12 and [Mn2Si13]+ are both axially symmetric, allowing for a clean separation of the vibrational modes into parallel (a1) and perpendicular (e1) components. Information about the Mn-Mn and Mn-Si bonding can be extracted by tracing the evolution of these modes as the cluster increases in size. In [Mn2Si13]+, where the antiprismatic core is capped on both hexagonal faces, a relatively simple spectrum emerges that reflects a pseudo-D6d geometry. In cases where the cluster is more polar, either because there is no capping atom in the lower face (Mn2Si12) or the capping atom is present but displaced off the principal axis (Mn2Si13), the spectra include additional features derived from vibrational modes that are forbidden in the parent antiprism.

Dataset of emission and excitation spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra, and XPS spectra of graphitic C3N4.

Project description:In this data article, the normalized emission and excitation spectra, the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of bulk-powders and nano-structured graphitic C3N4 (g-C3N4) were presented, which are helpful to get insight into the crystal and electronic structures of g-C3N4, especially on determining the energy levels and the mechanisms of luminescence originating from electron transitions. This data article is related to our recent publication (He et al., in press) [1]. The absorption, excitation and emission spectra are vital to illustrate the optoelectronic performances in terms of photoluminescence, photocatalysis, electroluminescence, etc., from the viewpoint of electron transitions intrinsically.
