چکیده

The preferred conformations of dimethyl sulfite and their vibrational spectra were studied by matrix-isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and theoretical methods (density functional theory (DFT) and Moller-Plesset (MP2), with basis sets of different sizes, including the quadruple-zeta, aug-cc-pVQZ basis). Five minima were found at these levels of theory. At the MP2/6-31++G(d,p) and DFT/B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQPZ levels, the GG conformer (where the O-S-O-C dihedral angles are 73.2 and 70.8 degrees ) resulted in the conformational ground state. At the highest level of theory used, the GT conformer (O-S-O-C = +68.5 and -173.2 degrees ) is 0.83 kJ mol(-1) higher in energy than the GG form, while conformer GG' (O-S-O-C = +85.7 and -85.7 degrees ) has a relative energy of 1.18 kJ mol(-1). The remaining two conformers (G'T and TT) are high-energy forms and not experimentally relevant. In consonance with the theoretical predictions, conformer GG was found to be the most stable conformer in the gaseous phase as well as in the low-temperature matrices. Annealing of the argon matrices first promotes the GG'-->GT isomerization, which is followed by conversion of GT into the most stable conformer. There is no evidence of occurrence of GG'-->GG direct conversion in the low-temperature matrices. On the other hand, during deposition of the xenon matrices conformer GG' totally converts to conformer GT. Two observations demonstrated this fact: no evidence of bands corresponding to GG' were observed in xenon matrices and the GG/GT intensity ratio became similar to the GG/(GT + GG') intensity ratio observed in argon matrices. All these results could be explained by taking into account the relative values of the theoretically predicted energy barriers for the different isomerization processes: GG'-->GT, 1.90 kJ mol(-1); GT-->GG, 9.64 kJ mol(-1); and GG'-->GG, 19.46 kJ mol(-1).

Formation of coronene:water complexes: FTIR study in argon matrices and theoretical characterisation.

In this paper, we report a combined theoretical and experimental study of coronene:water interactions in low temperature argon matrices. The theoretical calculations were performed using the mixed density functional-based tight binding/force field approach. The results are discussed in the light of experimental matrix isolation FTIR spectroscopic data. We show that, in the solid phase, (C24H12)...

Direct Spectroscopic Evidence of Photoisomerization in para-Methoxy Methylcinnamate Revealed by Low-Temperature Matrix-Isolation FTIR Spectroscopy.

The photoisomerization of para-methoxy methylcinnamate (p-MMC) has been studied by low-temperature matrix-isolation FTIR spectroscopy. In particular, the difference spectrum of the mid-IR frequency region (1100-1800 cm(-1)) allows us to distinguish the structural change before and after ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation at ≥300 nm and to convince that the cis-isomer is produced from the trans-...
