Electronic and vibrational spectra of the polycyclic heterocycle indoline have been used to explore both specific and nonspecific solvation forces in a wide variety of solvents. Excitation of indoline to its first excited state shows little sensitivity to solvent dielectric properties, but excitation wavelengths are very dependent on a solvent's ability to accept and/or donate hydrogen bonds. In contrast, emission spectra of indoline in different solvents demonstrate classical dependence on solvent polarity in accord with nonspecific solvation mechanisms. The frequency associated with the single NH stretch, nu(NH), also depends sensitively on specific solvation forces. In different solvents nu(NH) can vary by more than 100 cm(-1) depending on the opportunities that exist for hydrogen bond formation. In order to predict the strength of specific solvent-solute interactions, a semi-empirical scale is developed based on a nNH and each solvent's ability to accept hydrogen bonds. This scale was tested with a second solute, indole, and accurately predicted nuNH of indole in different solvents (and in the gas-phase) to within 10 cm(-1) in most cases.

Nonlinear absorption behaviors of filled and unfilled d shell metal complexes of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin Dogan, N.; Dumanogullari, F. M.; HAYVALI, MUSTAFA; YILMAZ, HAMZA; Kurum, U.; YAĞLIOĞLU, HALİME GÜL; ELMALI, Ayhan (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-27) We study nonlinear absorption behaviors of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins with the central metal ions: Zn(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+), and Fe(3+) by open aperture Z-scan technique with 65 ps or 4 ns pulse duration. For 65 ps pulse duration the filled d shell compounds exhibit nonlinear absorption while the unfilled d shell compounds exhibit saturable absorption. For 4 ns pulse duration Ni, Co and Fe compounds exhibit nonlinear absorption at high fluence while Ni compound exhibits saturable absorp...
Metallization of the C-60/Rh(100) interface revealed by valence photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations Wade, Abdou-Ciss; Lizzit, Silvano; Petaccia, Luca; Goldoni, Andrea; Diop, Djibril; Toffoli, Hande; Fabris, Stefano; Baroni, Stefano (AIP Publishing, 2010-06-01) The electronic structure of single and multiple layers of C-60 molecules deposited on a Rh(100) surface is investigated by means of valence photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The binding of the fullerene monolayer to the metal surface yields the appearance of a new state in the valence band spectrum crossing the Fermi level. Insight into the metallization of the metal/fullerene interface is provided by the calculated electronic structure that allows us to correlate the me...
STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND ENERGETICS OF AS, SB AND BI MICROCLUSTERS - EMPIRICAL MANY-BODY POTENTIAL-ENERGY FUNCTION CALCULATION Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 1991-08-09) The structural stability and energetics of As, Sb and Bi microclusters having 3-7 atoms have been investigated by using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function (PEF), which comprises two- and three-body atomic interactions. The PEF satisfies both bulk cohesive energy per atom and bulk structural stability exactly. It has been found that the most stable structures of As3, Sb3 and Sb4 microclusters are in linear form with D-infinity-h symmetry, Bi7 is in hexagonal pyramid form with ...
Sorption and diffusion of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in poly(methyl methacrylate) Eslami, Hossein; Kesik, Melis; Karimi-Varzaneh, Hossein Ali; Mueller-Plathe, Florian (AIP Publishing, 2013-09-28) Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to determine the solubility and diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The solubilities of CO2 in the polymer are calculated employing our grand canonical ensemble simulation method, fixing the target excess chemical potential of CO2 in the polymer and varying the number of CO2 molecules in the polymer matrix till establishing equilibrium. It is shown that the calculated sorption isotherms of CO2 in PMMA, employi...
Optical properties of Meloxicam in the far-infrared spectral region Aytekin, Yusuf Samet; Zaczek, Adam; Korter, Timothy M.; Heilweil, Edwin J.; Esentürk, Okan (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-17) One of the most commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory active pharmaceutical ingredient called Meloxicam has been characterized spectroscopically both by Terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in far-IR regions of electromagnetic spectrum; 0.2 THz-20 THz. While many relatively sharp features are observed in the far-IR range between 2 THz-20 THz as expected for being an organic substance, very distinct and relatively strong absorption ba...
