Tyrammonium 4-nitrophthalate dihydrate: structural and spectroscopic elucidation

Vibrational spectral studies and non-linear optical properties of L-leucine L-leucinium picrate: a Density Functional Theory approach

Single crystals of l-leucine l-leucinium picrate were grown by slow evaporation at room temperature and were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction study to confirm the crystalline nature of the synthesized compound. The optimized molecular structure, vibrational spectra and the optical properties were calculated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the B3LYP function with the 6-31G(d) basis set. Good consistency is found between the calculated results and the experimental structure, IR, and Raman spectra. The detailed interpretation of the vibrational modes was carried out. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, confirms the occurrence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds that are responsible for the stabilization of the title compound, leading to high nonlinear optical (NLO) activity. The lowering in the HOMO and LUMO energy gap explains the eventual charge transfer interactions that take place within the molecules.

Salts of aromatic amines: crystal structures, spectroscopic and non-linear optical properties

Crystal structures, spectroscopic and NLO properties of 8 novel organic salts with aromatic amines, i.e. tyrammonium iodide (1), tyrammonium benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxilate (2), octopammonium 5-sulfosalicylate monohydrate (3), octopammonium hydrogen squarate (4), dopammonium 5-sulfosalicylate dihydrate (5), ephedrinium mandelate (6), dopammonium hydrogen squarate (7) and bis(ephedrinium) squarate (8) are reported and discussed with a view of their application in optical technologies. The conformations of the cations of the aromatic amines are discussed comparing the experimental and theoretical data.

The application of the derivative IR-spectroscopy and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS in the analysis of archaeology resin

The applicability of the reducing-difference procedure for the interpretation of the conventional IR-spectroscopy as successful scientific technique for the analysis of ancient and modern resins has been demonstrated. The new temperature tool for modeling of the ancient resin samples has also been shown. The experimental infrared data are supported by the hydride approach of HPLC-MS-MS with ES-ionisation.
