Abstract
Aqueous solutions of acetic acid (AA) have been intensively explored for decades with a particular attention addressed to the hydrogen bond network generated by COOH group at different concentrations. In majority of studies conducted so far the envelope originated from νCO is decomposed into two bands assigned to differently hydrated monomers: the one presumably to AA···H2O, and another one to AA···(H2O)2. In order to examine if species other than the mentioned monomers produce this spectral signature, we performed computational and FTIR spectroscopic study of AA in aqueous solutions. Dilute solutions of deuterated acetic acid (CD3COOD) in D2O and in C2Cl4 as a reference were prepared (c0 = 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 mol dm-3) as well as of deuterated sodium acetate (CD3COONa) in D2O. CD3COOD in 0.1 mol dm-3 solution in D2O displays a feature that separated in two signals with maxima at 1706 cm-1 and 1687 cm-1. A combined DFT and molecular dynamics study performed in this work showed the assignation of those spectral bands to be a more complex problem than previously thought, with syn-anti isomerism and hydration contributing to the experimentally observed broad νCO envelope.

Abstract
Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy, infrared pump-infrared probe spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations were used to study vibrational relaxation by ring and carbonyl stretching modes in a series of methylated xanthine derivatives in acetonitrile and deuterium oxide (heavy water). Isotropic signals from the excited symmetric and asymmetric carbonyl stretch modes decay biexponentially in both solvents. Coherent energy transfer between the symmetric and asymmetric carbonyl stretching modes gives rise to a quantum beat in the time-dependent anisotropy signals. The damping time of the coherent oscillation agrees with the fast decay component of the carbonyl bleach recovery signals, indicating that this time constant reflects intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) to other solute modes. Despite their similar frequencies, the excited ring modes decay monoexponentially with a time constant that matches the slow decay component of the carbonyl modes. The slow decay times, which are faster in heavy water than in acetonitrile, approximately match the ones observed in previous UV pump-IR probe measurements on the same compounds. The slow component is assigned to intermolecular energy transfer to solvent bath modes from low-frequency solute modes, which are populated by IVR and are anharmonically coupled to the carbonyl and ring stretch modes. 2D IR measurements indicate that the carbonyl stretching modes are weakly coupled to the delocalized ring modes, resulting in slow exchange that cannot explain the common solvent-dependence. IVR is suggested to occur at different rates for the carbonyl vs ring modes due to differences in mode-specific couplings and not to differences in the density of accessible states.

Abstract
![]()
We study the molecular
properties of aqueous acetic acid and formic
acid solutions with heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency
generation spectroscopy (HD-VSFG). For acid concentrations up to ∼5
M, we observe a strong increase of the responses of the acid hydroxyl
and carbonyl stretch vibrations with increasing acid concentration
due to an increase of the surface coverage by the acid molecules.
At acid concentrations >5 M we observe first a saturation of these
responses and then a decrease. For pure carboxylic acids we even observe
a change of sign of the Im[χ(2)] response of the
carbonyl vibration. The decrease of the response of the hydroxyl vibration
and the decrease and sign change of the response of the carbonyl vibration
indicate the formation of cyclic dimers, which only show a quadrupolar
bulk response in the HD-VSFG spectrum because of their antiparallel
conformation. We also find evidence for the presence of a quadrupolar
response of the CH vibrations of the acid molecules.

Abstract
Ibuprofen is a well-established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, inhibiting the prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase. One of the key features defining the ibuprofen structure is the doubly intermolecular O-HO[double bond, length as m-dash]C hydrogen bond in cyclic dimers as know from carboxylic acids and confirmed by X-ray analysis. Until now, there was neither information about the vaporization enthalpy of ibuprofen nor about how this thermal property is determined by the subtle balance between different types of intermolecular interaction. In this study we derive the vaporization enthalpy of ibuprofen from thermochemical experiments to be . We dissected the hydrogen bond energy, EHB = 45.0 kJ mol-1, exclusively from measured vaporization enthalpies of related aliphatic carboxylic acids, their homomorph methyl esters and alkyl acetates, respectively. This contribution from hydrogen bonding could be confirmed almost quantitatively from quantum chemical calculations of ibuprofen clusters, which also suggest dispersion interaction of similar order (Edisp = 47 kJ mol-1). Following the full analysis of the gas-vapor transition enthalpy, we studied the changing structural components from the solid to the liquid phase of ibuprofen by means of Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The cyclic dimers as observed in the X-ray patterns are essentially preserved in the liquid state just above the melting point. However, with increasing temperature the doubly hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers are replaced by singly hydrogen-bonded linear dimers in the liquid ibuprofen. The transfer enthalpy from the temperature-dependent equilibria of both dimers as obtained from the IR intensity ratios of the vibrational bands quantifies for the first time the energy of the released, single hydrogen bond to be EHB = 21.0 kJ mol-1. Overall, we show that a combination of thermodynamics, infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemistry provides quantification and detailed understanding of structure and molecular interaction in ibuprofen and related compounds.

Abstract
A refractometric method, coupled with molecular dynamics study, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR), and Raman spectroscopy, was used to determine optical characteristics of concentration features of aqueous solutions of acetic acid. Measurements of the refractive index of aqueous solutions of acetic acid in the wide range of acetic acid concentrations (∼ 0 ÷ 1 mole fraction) in a solution at a room temperature were conducted. Maximum value of refractive index was detected at a concentration of ∼0.3 mole fraction. The deviation from the parabolic form of the dependence of the refractive index on the concentration occurs at a concentration of ∼0.8 mole fraction. As far as we know, this deviation has been observed for the first time. The maximum is attributed to the largest number of molecular interactions between water and acetic acid molecules, while the deviation is associated with the parallel orientation of acetic acid molecules. To identify the reconstructing of molecules in the system, FT-IR and Raman spectra of these solutions at a concentration of ∼0.3 and ∼0.8 mole fraction were recorded and compared with pure solutions. The data obtained by using ATR FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy support the idea that the refractometric method is sensitive to determine the structural states of aqueous solutions of acetic acid.

Abstract
Solvatochromic shifts of local vibrational probes report on the strength of the surrounding electric fields and the probe's hydrogen bonding status. Stretching vibrational mode of the ester carbonyl group is a popular solvatochromic reporter used in the studies of peptides and proteins. Small molecules, used to calibrate the response of the vibrational probes, sometimes involve Fermi resonances (FRs) induced by inter-molecular interactions. In the present work, we focus on the scenario where FR does not appear in the infrared spectrum of the ester carbonyl stretching mode in aprotic solvents; however, it is intensified when a hydrogen bond with the reporter is established. When two molecules form hydrogen bonds to the same carbonyl oxygen atom, FR leads to strong hybridization of the involved modes and splitting of the absorption peak. Spectral overlap between the Fermi doublets associated with singly and doubly hydrogen-bonded carbonyl groups significantly complicates quantifying different hydrogen-bonded conformations. We employed a combination of linear and third-order (2DIR) infrared spectroscopy with chemometrics analysis to reveal the individual line shapes and to estimate the occupations of the hydrogen-bonded conformations in methyl acetate, a model small molecule. We identified a hydrogen-bond-induced FR in complexes of methyl acetate with alcohols and water and found that FR is lifted in larger molecules used for control experiments-cholesteryl stearate and methyl cyanoacetate. Applying this methodology to analyze acetonitrile-water solutions revealed that when dissolved in neat water, methyl acetate occupies a single hydrogen-bonding conformation, which is in contrast to the conclusions of previous studies. Our approach can be generally used when FRs prevent direct quantification of the hydrogen bonding status of the vibrational probe.

Abstract
Vibrational excitation of molecules in the condensed phase relaxes through vibrational modes of decreasing energy to ultimately generate an equilibrium state in which the energy is distributed among low-frequency modes. In ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy, changes in the vibrational features of hydrogen-bonded NH and OH stretch modes are typically observed to persist long after these high-frequency vibrations have relaxed. Due to the resemblance to the spectral changes caused by heating the sample, these features are typically described as arising from a hot ground state. However, these spectral features appear on ultrafast time scales that are much too fast to result from a true thermal state, and significant differences between the thermal difference spectrum and the induced quasi-thermal changes in ultrafast spectroscopy are often observed. Here, we examine and directly compare the thermal and quasi-thermal responses of the hydrogen-bonded homodimer of 7-azaindole with temperature-dependent FTIR spectroscopy and ultrafast mid-IR continuum spectroscopy. We find that the thermal difference spectra contain contributions from both dissociation of the hydrogen bonds and from frequency shifts due to changes in the thermal population of low-frequency modes. The transient spectra in ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy are also found to contain two contributions: initial frequency shifts over 2.3 ± 0.11 ps associated with equilibration of the initial excitation, and frequency shifts associated with the excitation of several fingerprint modes, which decay over 21.8 ± 0.11 ps, giving rise to a quasi-thermal response caused by a distribution of fingerprint modes being excited within the sample ensemble. This resembles the thermal frequency shifts due to population changes of low-frequency modes, but not the overall thermal spectrum, which is dominated by features caused by dimer dissociation. These findings provide insight into the changes in the vibrational spectrum from different origins and are important for assigning, analyzing, and comparing features in thermal and ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy of hydrogen-bonded complexes.

Abstract
It has recently been shown that the ester carbonyl stretching vibration can be used as a sensitive probe of local electrostatic field in molecular systems. To further characterize this vibrational probe and extend its potential applications, we studied the kinetics of chemical exchange between differently hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) ester carbonyl groups of methyl acetate (MA) and ethyl acetate (EA) in methanol. We found that, while both MA and EA can form zero, one, or two H-bonds with the solvent, the population of the 2hb state in MA is significantly smaller than that in EA. Using a combination of linear and nonlinear infrared measurements and numerical simulations, we further determined the rate constants for the exchange between these differently H-bonded states. We found that for MA the chemical exchange reaction between the two dominant states (i.e., 0hb and 1hb states) has a relaxation rate constant of 0.14 ps(-1), whereas for EA the three-state chemical exchange reaction occurs in a predominantly sequential manner with the following relaxation rate constants: 0.11 ps(-1) for exchange between 0hb and 1hb states and 0.12 ps(-1) for exchange between 1hb and 2hb states.

Abstract
Divalent metal ions play numerous roles in biological, technological, and environmental systems. This study examines the role of a variety of ions, Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), and Zn(2+), in the adsorption of sodium decanoate at the carbon tetrachloride-water interface. For all ions studied, the ions drive the adsorption of the surfactant to the interface. Using vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy and the carboxylic acid vibrational modes as a signature for metal ion binding, each metal salt is found to play a distinctly different role in the molecular characteristics of surfactant adsorption at the interface. Additional spectroscopic studies of the methyl and methylene vibrations are monitored to track the ordering of the alkyl chains when metal salts are added to solution. How the metal-surfactant binding impacts the surfactant structure, orientation, and solvation is explored. How these spectroscopic measurements compare with the degree of adsorption as measured by interfacial tension data is presented.

Abstract
Cyclic hydrogen-bonded structures are common motifs in biological systems, providing structural stability and mediating proton transfer for redox reactions. The mechanism of proton transfer across hydrogen-bonded interfaces depends on the strength of the intermolecular coupling between bridging OH/NH vibrational modes. Here we present a novel ultrafast continuum mid-IR spectroscopy experiment to study the vibrational dynamics of the 7-azaindole-acetic acid (7AI-Ac) heterodimer as a model system for asymmetric cyclic hydrogen-bonded structures. In addition to spreading of the excitation across the whole OH band within the time resolution of the experiment, excitation of a 300 cm(-1) region of the ∼1000 cm(-1) broad OH stretching mode of the acetic acid monomer leads to a frequency shift in the NH stretching mode of the 7AI monomer. This indicates that the NH and OH stretching modes located on the two monomers are strongly coupled despite being separated by 750 cm(-1). The strong coupling further causes the OH and NH bands to decay with a common decay time of ∼2.5 ps. This intermolecular coupling is mediated through the hydrogen-bonded structure of the 7AI-Ac heterodimer and is likely a general property of cyclic hydrogen-bonded structures. Characterizing the vibrational dynamics of and the coupling between the high-frequency OH/NH modes will be important for understanding proton transfer across such molecular interfaces.

Abstract
Large macromolecules with hydrophobic backbones are known to assemble at the interface between immiscible liquids. This assembly is often unpredictable because of the subtle interplay among hydrophobic interactions, hydrophilic solvation, structural constraints, and the thermodynamics of adsorption. In these studies, we employ vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy and interfacial tension measurements to study the assembly of a simple polyelectrolyte, poly(methacrylic acid), as it assembles at the interface between two immiscible liquids, specifically, carbon tetrachloride and water. By adjusting the polyelectrolyte charge through pH studies and the polymer size through molecular weight studies, we demonstrate that charge accumulation in segments of the polymer chains is a critical factor in macromolecular interfacial adsorption and desorption. The results have implications for related charged macromolecules whose ability to assemble between two immiscible fluid media is essential for many biological processes, water remediation efforts, and enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract
The N-H stretching vibrations of adenine, one of the building blocks of DNA, are studied by combining infrared absorption and nonlinear two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy with ab initio calculations. We determine diagonal and off-diagonal anharmonicities of N-H stretching vibrations in chemically modified adenosine monomer dissolved in chloroform. For the single-quantum excitation manifold, the normal mode picture with symmetric and asymmetric NH(2) stretching vibrations is fully appropriate. For the two-quantum excitation manifold, however, the interplay between intermode coupling and frequency shifts due to a large diagonal anharmonicity leads to a situation where strong mixing does not occur. We compare our findings with previously reported values obtained on overtone spectroscopy of coupled hydrogen stretching oscillators.

Abstract
The CN stretching vibrations of the guanidyl group in the arginine dipeptide side chain are examined by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. In D(2)O, the spectra display two distinct diagonal peaks. These nearly degenerate modes undergo ultrafast energy transfer. The energy-transfer rate was determined directly from the 2D-IR spectra to be 1/2.1 ps(-1). The cross peaks in 2D-IR arising from the energy transfer provide a definitive identification of arginine in larger proteins. An example of arginine in the transmembrane protein M2, found in influenza viruses, is given.

Abstract
We have studied the temperature dependence of the vibrational frequency fluctuation of the antisymmetric stretching mode of N(3) (-) in D(2)O by three-pulse infrared (IR) photon echo experiments. IR pump-probe measurements were also carried out to investigate the population relaxation and the orientational relaxation of the same band. It was found that the time-correlation function (TCF) of the frequency fluctuation of this mode is well described by a biexponential function with a quasistatic term. The faster decay component has a time constant of about 0.1 ps, and the slower component varies from 1.4 to 1.1 ps in the temperature range from 283 to 353 K. This result indicates that liquid dynamics related to the frequency fluctuation are not highly sensitive to temperature. We discuss the relationship between the temperature dependence of the vibrational frequency fluctuation and that of the molecular motion of the system to investigate the molecular origin of the frequency fluctuation of the solute. We compare the temperature dependence of the frequency fluctuation with that of other dynamics such as dielectric relaxation of water. In contrast to the Debye dielectric relaxation time of D(2)O, the two time constants of the TCF of the frequency fluctuation do not exhibit strong temperature dependence. We propose a simple theoretical model for the frequency fluctuation in solutions based on perturbation theory and the dipole-dipole interaction between the vibrational mode of the solute and the solvent molecules. This model suggests that the neighboring solvent molecules in the vicinity of the solute play an important role in the frequency fluctuation. We suggest that the picosecond component of the frequency fluctuation results from structural fluctuation of the hydrogen-bonding network in water.

Abstract
The nearly degenerate asymmetric stretch vibrations near 1600 cm(-1) of the guanidinium cation in D-glycerol/D(2)O mixtures having different viscosity were studied by 2D IR photon echo spectroscopy. The polarization-dependent photon echo signal shows two separate frequency distributions in the 2D spectrum in D(2)O, even though only one band is evident from inspection of the linear FTIR spectrum. The split components are more clearly seen at higher viscosity where the distortion of the molecule from 3-fold symmetry is even more evident. The interactions with solvent induce energy transfer between the degenerate component modes on the time scale of 0.5 ps. The energy transfer between modes is directly observed in 2D IR and distinguished by the waiting time dependence of the cross peaks from the transfers between configurations of the distorted ion and solvent. The 2D IR analysis carried out for various polarization conditions gave frequency-frequency auto- and cross-correlation functions for the degenerate components which derive from the solvent induced wagging of the -ND(2) groups of the guanidinium ion.

Abstract
The asymmetric stretching vibration of the amphiphilic trifluoroacetate ion and its (13)C=(16)O isotopologue in D(2)O were investigated with infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultrafast infrared pump probe, and two dimensional vibrational photon echo techniques and simulations. Trifluoroacetate ions have a nonexponential depopulation of the first vibrational excited state, which is well described by a kinetic mechanism involving a temperature dependent solvent assisted relaxation to the symmetric stretch mode. The vibrational spectrum of the asymmetric stretch of the (13)C=(16)O isotopologue presents an unusual spectral shape. The frequency-frequency autocorrelation function shows a static term not present in the (13)C=(16)O form, which is caused by an accidental degeneracy with a combinational mode. A newly developed frequency map for carboxylate is used to characterize the processes and dynamics observed in the frequency fluctuations of the carboxylate asymmetric stretch mode in aqueous solution. An assignment of the molecular processes that govern the frequency fluctuations is suggested from an analysis of the solvation shell configurations obtained from molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Nearly degenerate asymmetric stretches with perpendicular transition dipole moments of the deuterated guanidinium cation (DGdm(+)) in D(2)O and D-glycerol/D(2)O mixtures at 1600 cm(-1) were investigated by linear FTIR spectroscopy and polarization dependent femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The vibrational coupling of the asymmetric stretches of guanidinium occurs within 0.5 ps and leads to fast decay of the anisotropy to a level of 0.1. A systematic study of the influence of the coherence transfer on pump-probe signals is given. Following this decay, the anisotropy decays with a time constant of 4.1 ps in D(2)O by rotational diffusion about an axis perpendicular to the DGdm(+) mean plane. The presence of aggregation was demonstrated for concentrations higher than 0.2 M.

Abstract
In aqueous solution, the basis of all living processes, hydrogen bonding exerts a powerful effect on chemical reactivity. The vibrational energy relaxation (VER) process in hydrogen-bonded complexes in solution is sensitive to the microscopic environment around the oscillator and to the geometrical configuration of the hydrogen-bonded complexes. In this Account, we describe the use of time-resolved infrared (IR) pump-probe spectroscopy to study the vibrational dynamics of (i) the carbonyl CO stretching modes in protic solvents and (ii) the OH stretching modes of phenol and carboxylic acid. In these cases, the carbonyl group acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor, whereas the hydroxyl group acts as a hydrogen-bond donor. These vibrational modes have different properties depending on their respective chemical bonds, suggesting that hydrogen bonding may have different mechanisms and effects on the VER of the CO and OH modes than previously understood. The IR pump-probe signals of the CO stretching mode of 9-fluorenone and methyl acetate in alcohol, as well as that of acetic acid in water, include several components with different time constants. Quantum chemical calculations indicate that the dynamical components are the result of various hydrogen-bonded complexes that form between solute and solvent molecules. The acceleration of the VER is due to the increasing vibrational density of states caused by the formation of hydrogen bonds. The vibrational dynamics of the OH stretching mode in hydrogen-bonded complexes were studied in several systems. For phenol-base complexes, the decay time constant of the pump-probe signal decreases as the band peak of the IR absorption spectrum shifts to lower wavenumbers (the result of changing the proton acceptor). For phenol oligomers, the decay time constant of the pump-probe signal decreases as the probe wavenumber decreases. These observations show that the VER time strongly correlates with the strength of hydrogen bonding. This acceleration may be due to increased coupling between the OH stretching mode and the accepting mode of the VER, because the low-frequency shift caused by hydrogen bond formation is very large. Unlike phenol oligomers, however, the pump-probe signals of phenol-base complexes did not exhibit probe frequency dependence. For these complexes, rapid interconversion between different conformations causes rapid fluctuations in the vibrational frequency of the OH stretching modes, and these fluctuations level the VER times of different conformations. For the benzoic acid dimer, a quantum beat at a frequency of around 100 cm(-1) is superimposed on the pump-probe signal. This result indicates the presence of strong anharmonic coupling between the intramolecular OH stretching and the intermolecular stretching modes. From a two-dimensional plot of the OH stretching wavenumber and the low-frequency wavenumber, the wavenumber of the low-frequency mode is found to increase monotonically as the probe wavenumber is shifted toward lower wavenumbers. Our results represent a quantitative determination of the acceleration of VER by the formation of hydrogen bonds. Our studies merit further evaluation and raise fundamental questions about the current theory of vibrational dynamics in the condensed phase.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded interfaces are essential structural elements in biology. Furthermore, they can mediate electron transport by coupling the electron to proton transfer within the interface. The specific hydrogen-bonding configuration and strength have a large impact on the proton transfer, which exchanges the hydrogen-bonded donor and acceptor species (i.e., NH...O --> N...HO). Modulations of the hydrogen-bonding environment, such as the hydrogen-bond stretch and twist modes, affect the proton-transfer dynamics. Here, we present transient grating and echo peak shift measurements of the NH stretch vibrations of four doubly hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers in their electronic ground state. The equilibrium vibrational dynamics exhibit strong coherent modulations that we attribute to coupling of the high-frequency NH vibration to the low-frequency interdimer stretch and twist modes and not to interference between multiple Fermi resonances that dominate the substructure of the linear spectra.

Abstract
We present a polarization method that significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio in two-dimensional (2D) spectra collected in a "pump-probe" phase-matching geometry by improving the signal strength and eliminating unwanted background signals. This beam geometry is particularly useful when collecting 2D spectra using a pulse shaper.

Abstract
The principal contributions to the anharmonic coupling of amide vibrations are explored with the objective of comparing recent experiments with density functional theory and evaluating simple models of mode coupling. Experimental information obtained by means of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D IR) is reasonably well predicted by the computed one- and two-quantum anharmonic modes of amide-A, -I, and -II types in mono-, di- and tripeptides. The expansion of the vibrational energy up to the cubic and quartic coupling of harmonic modes suggested criteria to assess how localized are the forces determining the anharmonicity. The off-diagonal anharmonicity between an amide-A and one other amide mode was shown to be mainly determined by forces involving only these two modes, whereas the off-diagonal anharmonicity of two amide-I modes in peptides depended significantly on forces due to motions other than those of the amide-I type. Both the diagonal and off-diagonal anharmonicities exhibit sensitivity to peptide structures. These results should prove useful in linking 2D IR experimental results to secondary structure. Further, the results are used to evaluate the vibrational exciton model for the mixed-mode anharmonicities of the amide-I transitions.

Abstract
The ultrafast dynamics of solutions of phenol and two phenol derivatives--hydroquinone (1,4-benzenediol) and pyrocatechol (1,2-benzenediol)--have been studied with Optically Heterodyne-Detected Optical Kerr-Effect (OHD-OKE) spectroscopy. The solvents, methanol and acetonitrile, were selected to provide strong and weak solvent-solute hydrogen-bonding interactions, respectively, while pyrocatechol features an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Together these provide a series of model systems for polypeptides such as polytyrosine, which facilitate the direct study of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. A broad contribution to the Raman spectral density of the methanol solutions at frequencies between 150 and 300 cm(-1) has been observed that is absent in acetonitrile. This contribution has been assigned to solvent-solute hydrogen-bond stretching vibrations. The OHD-OKE response of poly-L-tyrosine has been measured and was found to contain a similar contribution. Density functional theory geometry optimizations and normal mode calculations have been performed using the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-311++G** basis set. These have yielded a complete assignment of the low-frequency Raman and far-infrared spectra of pyrocatechol for the first time, which has provided information on the nature of the intramolecular hydrogen bond of pyrocatechol.

Abstract
Ultrafast mid-IR transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to study the vibrational dynamics of hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers of trifluoroacetic acid and formic acid in both the gas and solution phases (0.05 M in CCl(4)). Ultrafast excitation of the broad O-H cyclic dimer band leads, in the gas phase, to large-scale structural changes of the dimer creating a species with a distinct free O-H stretching band on 20 ps and 200 ps timescales. These timescales are assigned to ring-opening and dissociation of the dimer, respectively. In the solution phase, no such structural rearrangement occurs and our results are consistent with previous studies. The gas phase dynamics are insensitive to both the specific excitation energy (over a span of 550 cm(-1)) and the chemical identity of the dimer.

Abstract
The linear-infrared and two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra in the amide-I' region of the alanine dipeptide and its (13)C isotopomers in aqueous solution (D(2)O) are reported. The two amide-I' IR transitions have been assigned unambiguously by using (13)C isotopic substitution of the carbonyl group; the amide unit at the acetyl end shows a lower transition frequency in the unlabeled species. The ratio of their transition dipole strengths remains almost unchanged upon (13)C substitution, indicating the absence of intensity transfer between two vibrators. The 2D IR cross peaks directly associated with intramode coupling in this case show a small off-diagonal anharmonicity (0.2 +/- 0.2 cm(-1)), leading to a small coupling constant (1.5 +/- 0.5 cm(-1)). The coupling and the 2D IR spectra in two different polarizations (zzzz and zxxz) are as expected for a polyproline-II (PP(II))-like conformation for dialanine, with the backbone dihedral angles (phi, psi) determined to be in the range of (-70 degrees +/- 25 degrees, +120 degrees +/- 25 degrees). Ab initio DFT calculations and normal mode decoupling analysis in the Ramachandran subspace in the neighborhood of PP(II) conformation confirm the presence of a region where the coupling is vanishingly small and support these experimental findings. The relationship between the coupling and off-diagonal anharmonicity is consolidated by examining the distribution of the latter from an ensemble averaged Hamiltonian incorporating uncorrelated diagonal frequency distributions and a small coupling (<2 cm(-1)); it is found that the most probable value for the off-diagonal anharmonicity falls into the range of experimental observations. Further, incorporating DFT results, the simulated linear-IR and 2D IR can reproduce the essential features of the measurements, including the transition frequency positions and apparent peak intensities. All the experimental results and simulations are consistent with a PP(II)-like conformation for the alanine dipeptide in aqueous solution, in which two amide-I' modes are highly localized and whose frequency distributions are uncorrelated.

Abstract
We present time-resolved transient grating measurements of the vibrational relaxation rates of the C-D stretching vibrations of deuterated haloforms in benzene and acetone. We compare our results with previous measurements of excited C-H stretches in the same solvents to obtain insight into the solvent effect on the vibrational relaxation. In deuterated molecules, there are more low-order-coupled states and the states are closer in energy to the C-D stretch than in the unlabeled isotopologs. Therefore, the relaxation is faster for the deuterated molecules. The relaxation also shows a significant solvent dependence. Bromoform and iodoform form charge-transfer complexes with both benzene and acetone which enhance the relaxation rate. For chloroform, hydrogen bonding to acetone is expected to be a more favorable interaction. Surprisingly, however, the vibrational relaxation of CDCl(3) is slower in acetone than in benzene.

Abstract
We use femtosecond mid-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy to study the effects of hydrogen bonding on the orientational dynamics of the OD-stretch vibration of phenol-d. We study two samples: phenol-d in chloroform and phenol-d in chloroform to which we added excess acetone. For phenol-d in chloroform, we observe rotational diffusion of the OD group around the CO bond, with a correlation time of 3.7 ps. For phenol-d hydrogen bonded to acetone, the reorientation time is strongly dependent on the probe frequency, varying from 3 ps on the blue side of the spectrum to more than 30 ps on the red side.
