Molecular Vibration Explorer: an Online Database and Toolbox for Surface-Enhanced Frequency Conversion and Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: We present Molecular Vibration Explorer, a freely accessible online database and interactive tool for exploring vibrational spectra and tensorial light-vibration coupling strengths of a large collection of thiolated molecules. The "Gold" version of the database gathers the results from density functional theory calculations on 2800 commercially available thiol compounds linked to a gold atom, with the main motivation to screen the best molecules for THz and mid-infrared to visible upconversion. Additionally, the "Thiol" version of the database contains results for 1900 unbound thiolated compounds. They both provide access to a comprehensive set of computed spectroscopic parameters for all vibrational modes of all molecules in the database. The user can simultaneously investigate infrared absorption, Raman scattering, and vibrational sum- and difference-frequency generation cross sections. Molecules can be screened for various parameters in custom frequency ranges, such as a large Raman cross-section under a specific molecular orientation, or a large orientation-averaged sum-frequency generation (SFG) efficiency. The user can select polarization vectors for the electromagnetic fields, set the orientation of the molecule, and customize parameters for plotting the corresponding IR, Raman, and sum-frequency spectra. We illustrate the capabilities of this tool with selected applications in the field of surface-enhanced spectroscopy.

An online database of infant functional near infrared spectroscopy studies: a community-augmented systematic review.

Project description:Until recently, imaging the infant brain was very challenging. Functional Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising, relatively novel technique, whose use is rapidly expanding. As an emergent field, it is particularly important to share methodological knowledge to ensure replicable and robust results. In this paper, we present a community-augmented database which will facilitate precisely this exchange. We tabulated articles and theses reporting empirical fNIRS research carried out on infants below three years of age along several methodological variables. The resulting spreadsheet has been uploaded in a format allowing individuals to continue adding new results, and download the most recent version of the table. Thus, this database is ideal to carry out systematic reviews. We illustrate its academic utility by focusing on the factors affecting three key variables: infant attrition, the reliability of oxygenated and deoxygenated responses, and signal-to-noise ratios. We then discuss strengths and weaknesses of the DBIfNIRS, and conclude by suggesting a set of simple guidelines aimed to facilitate methodological convergence through the standardization of reports.

Infrared electric field sampled frequency comb spectroscopy.

Project description:Probing matter with light in the mid-infrared provides unique insight into molecular composition, structure, and function with high sensitivity. However, laser spectroscopy in this spectral region lacks the broadband or tunable light sources and efficient detectors available in the visible or near-infrared. We overcome these challenges with an approach that unites a compact source of phase-stable, single-cycle, mid-infrared pulses with room temperature electric field-resolved detection at video rates. The ultrashort pulses correspond to laser frequency combs that span 3 to 27 ?m (370 to 3333 cm-1), and are measured with dynamic range of >106 and spectral resolution as high as 0.003 cm-1. We highlight the brightness and coherence of our apparatus with gas-, liquid-, and solid-phase spectroscopy that extends over spectral bandwidths comparable to thermal or infrared synchrotron sources. This unique combination enables powerful avenues for rapid detection of biological, chemical, and physical properties of matter with molecular specificity.

Differentiation between Enamines and Tautomerizable Imines Oxidation Reaction Mechanism using Electron-Vibration-Vibration Two Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy.

Project description:Intermediates lie at the center of chemical reaction mechanisms. However, detecting intermediates in an organic reaction and understanding its role in reaction mechanisms remains a big challenge. In this paper, we used the theoretical calculations to explore the potential of the electron-vibration-vibration two-dimensional infrared (EVV-2DIR) spectroscopy in detecting the intermediates in the oxidation reactions of enamines and tautomerizable imines with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO). We show that while it is difficult to identify the intermediates from their infrared and Raman signals, the simulated EVV-2DIR spectra of these intermediates have well resolved spectral features, which are absent in the signals of reactants and products. These characteristic spectral signatures can, therefore, be used to reveal the reaction mechanism as well as monitor the reaction progress. Our work suggests the potential strength of EVV-2DIR technique in studying the molecular mechanism of organic reactions in general.

A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy database of 63 metabolites.

Project description:Metabolomics, the study of metabolic profiles in a biological sample, has seen rapid growth due to advances in measurement technologies such as mass spectrometry (MS). While MS metabolite reference libraries have been generated for metabolomics applications, mass spectra alone are unable to unambiguously identify many metabolites in a sample; these unidentified compounds are typically annotated as "features". Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an interesting technology for metabolite identification based on vibrational spectra. However, no reports have been published that present SERS metabolite spectra from chemical libraries. In this paper, we demonstrate that an untargeted approach utilizing citrate-capped silver nanoparticles yields SERS spectra for 20% of 80 compounds chosen randomly from a commercial metabolite library. Furthermore, prescreening of the metabolites according to chemical functionality allowed for the efficient identification of samples within the library that yield distinctive SERS spectra under our experimental conditions. Last, we present a reference database of 63 metabolite SERS spectra for use as an identification tool in metabolomics studies; this set includes 30 metabolites that have not had previously published SERS spectra.

Two-dimensional infrared-Raman spectroscopy as a probe of water's tetrahedrality.

Project description:Two-dimensional spectroscopic techniques combining terahertz (THz), infrared (IR), and visible pulses offer a wealth of information about coupling among vibrational modes in molecular liquids, thus providing a promising probe of their local structure. However, the capabilities of these spectroscopies are still largely unexplored due to experimental limitations and inherently weak nonlinear signals. Here, through a combination of equilibrium-nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) and a tailored spectrum decomposition scheme, we identify a relationship between the tetrahedral order of liquid water and its two-dimensional IR-IR-Raman (IIR) spectrum. The structure-spectrum relationship can explain the temperature dependence of the spectral features corresponding to the anharmonic coupling between low-frequency intermolecular and high-frequency intramolecular vibrational modes of water. In light of these results, we propose new experiments and discuss the implications for the study of tetrahedrality of liquid water.

Near-infrared to ultra-violet frequency conversion in chalcogenide metasurfaces.

Project description:Chalcogenide photonics offers unique solutions for a broad range of applications from mid-infrared sensing to integrated, ultrafast, ultrahigh-bandwidth signal processing. However, to date its usage has been limited to the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, thus avoiding ultraviolet and visible ranges due to absorption of chalcogenide glasses. Here, we experimentally demonstrate and report near-infrared to ultraviolet frequency conversion in an As2S3-based metasurface, enabled by a phase locking mechanism between the pump and the inhomogeneous portion of the third harmonic signal. Due to the phase locking, the inhomogeneous component co-propagates with the pump pulse and encounters the same effective dispersion as the infrared pump, and thus experiences little or no absorption, consequently opening previously unexploited spectral range for chalcogenide glass science and applications, despite the presence of strong material absorption in this range.

Low-Frequency Raman Spectroscopy of Pure and Cocrystallized Mycophenolic Acid.

Project description:The aqueous solubility of solid-state pharmaceuticals can often be enhanced by cocrystallization with a coformer to create a binary cocrystal with preferred physical properties. Greater understanding of the internal and external forces that dictate molecular structure and intermolecular packing arrangements enables more efficient design of new cocrystals. Low-frequency (sub-200 cm-1) Raman spectroscopy experiments and solid-state density functional theory simulations have been utilized together to investigate the crystal lattice vibrations of mycophenolic acid, an immunosuppressive drug, in its pure form and as a cocrystal with 2,2'-dipyridylamine. The lattice vibrations primarily consist of large-amplitude translations and rotations of the crystal components, thereby providing insights into the critical intermolecular forces governing cohesion of the molecular solids. The simulations reveal that despite mycophenolic acid having a significantly unfavorable conformation in the cocrystal as compared to the pure solid, the cocrystal exhibits greater thermodynamic stability over a wide temperature range. The energetic penalty due to the conformational strain is more than compensated for by the strong intermolecular forces between the drug and 2,2'-dipyridylamine. Quantifying the balance of internal and external energy factors in cocrystal formation indicates a path forward in the development of future mycophenolic acid cocrystals.

Near-infrared excitation Raman spectroscopy of colored fabric contaminated with body fluids.

Project description:Confirmatory identification of dyes in the physical pieces of evidence, such as hair and fabric, is critically important in forensics. This information can be used to demonstrate the link between a person of interest and a crime scene. High performance liquid chromatography is broadly used for dye analysis. However, this technique is destructive and laborious. This problem can be overcome by near-Infrared excitation Raman spectroscopy (NIeRS), non-invasive and non-destructive technique that can be used to determine chemical structure of highly fluorescent dyes. Analyzed fabric materials often possess body fluid stains, which may obscure the accuracy of NIeRS-based identification of dyes. In this study, we investigate the extent to which fabric contamination with body fluids can alter the accuracy of NIeRS. Our results showed that NIeRS coupled with partial-least squared discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) enabled on average 97.6% accurate identification of dyes on fabric contaminated with dry blood, urine and semen. We also found that NIeRS could be used to identify blood, urine and semen on such fabric with 99.4% accuracy. Furthermore, NIeRS could be used to differentiate between wet and dry blood, as well as reveal the presence of blood on washed fabric. These results indicate that NIeRS coupled with PLS-DA could be used as a robust and reliable analytical approach in forensic analysis of fabric.

Freely designable optical frequency conversion in Raman-resonant four-wave-mixing process.

Project description:Nonlinear optical processes are governed by the relative-phase relationships among the relevant electromagnetic fields in these processes. In this Report, we describe the physics of arbitrary manipulation of Raman-resonant four-wave-mixing process by artificial control of relative phases. As a typical example, we show freely designable optical-frequency conversions to extreme spectral regions, mid-infrared and vacuum-ultraviolet, with near-unity quantum efficiencies. Furthermore, we show that such optical-frequency conversions can be realized by using a surprisingly simple technology where transparent plates are placed in a nonlinear optical medium and their positions and thicknesses are adjusted precisely. In a numerical simulation assuming practically applicable parameters in detail, we demonstrate a single-frequency tunable laser that covers the whole vacuum-ultraviolet spectral range of 120 to 200 nm.

Low-Frequency Raman Spectroscopy of Few-Layer 2H-SnS2.

Project description:We investigated interlayer phonon modes of mechanically exfoliated few-layer 2H-SnS2 samples by using room temperature low-frequency micro-Raman spectroscopy. Raman measurements were performed using laser wavelengths of 441.6, 514.4, 532 and 632.8?nm with power below 100??W and inside a vacuum chamber to avoid photo-oxidation. The intralayer Eg and A1g modes are observed at ~206?cm-1 and 314?cm-1, respectively, but the Eg mode is much weaker for all excitation energies. The A1g mode exhibits strong resonant enhancement for the 532?nm (2.33?eV) laser. In the low-frequency region, interlayer vibrational modes of shear and breathing modes are observed. These modes show characteristic dependence on the number of layers. The strengths of the interlayer interactions are estimated by fitting the interlayer mode frequencies using the linear chain model and are found to be 1.64?×?1019?N?·?m-3 and 5.03?×?1019?N?·?m-3 for the shear and breathing modes, respectively.
