Absolute orientation of molecules at interfaces.
A method to determine the absolute orientation of molecules at liquid interfaces by sum frequency generation (SFG) is reported. It is based on measurements of the orientations of two nonparallel vibrationally active chromophores in the molecule of interest combined with a rotation matrix formulation to obtain the absolute molecular orientation. We chose m-tolunitrile, a planar molecule adsorbed...
متن کاملThe Orientation of Unsymmetrical Molecules at Interfaces
A function giving the distribution of the angles of orientation of the molecular axes from the normal to the interface can be obtained if one makes use of a number of special assumptions regarding the forces of orientation. This is compared with the distribution calculated on assuming an extreme form of Langmuir's principle of independent surface action. The importance of having such a function...
متن کاملCorrelation of molecular orientation with adhesion at polystyrene/solid interfaces
Vibrationally resonant sum-frequency generation (VR-SFG) has been used to characterize the molecular orientation of the phenyl groups at the interface between polystyrene (PS) films and surface-modified glass substrates. Both the interface structure and the film adhesion are found to vary as the substrate surface is changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The improved adhesion on the hydrophil...
متن کاملStructural phase transitions of small molecules at air/water interfaces
Structural phase transitions have been observed using IR-VIS sum frequency generation (SFG) at the air/acetonitrile-water and the air/propionitrile-water interfaces but not at the air/butyronitrile-water interface. The phase transitions were detected by abrupt changes in the CN vibrational frequency and in the orientation of the CN chromophore as the interface nitrile density was varied. A mode...
متن کاملPredicting where Small Molecules Bind at Protein-Protein Interfaces
Small molecules that bind at protein-protein interfaces may either block or stabilize protein-protein interactions in cells. Thus, some of these binding interfaces may turn into prospective targets for drug design. Here, we collected 175 pairs of protein-protein (PP) complexes and protein-ligand (PL) complexes with known three-dimensional structures for which (1) one protein from the PP complex...
