Abstract
Protein misfolding and amyloid formation are implicated in the protein dysfunction, but the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified due to the lack of effective tools for detecting the transient intermediates. Sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying the structure and dynamics of proteins at the interfaces. In this review, we summarize recent SFG-VS studies on the structure and dynamics of membrane-bound proteins during misfolding processes. This paper first introduces the methods for determining the secondary structure of interfacial proteins: combining chiral and achiral spectra of amide A and amide I bands and combining amide I, amide II, and amide III spectral features. To demonstrate the ability of SFG-VS in investigating the interfacial protein misfolding and amyloid formation, studies on the interactions between different peptides/proteins (islet amyloid polypeptide, amyloid β, prion protein, fused in sarcoma protein, hen egg-white lysozyme, fusing fusion peptide, class I hydrophobin SC3 and class II hydrophobin HFBI) and surfaces such as lipid membranes are discussed. These molecular-level studies revealed that SFG-VS can provide a unique understanding of the mechanism of interfacial protein misfolding and amyloid formation in real time, in situ and without any exogenous labeling.

Abstract
Structures, kinetics, and chemical reactivities at interfaces and surfaces are key to understanding many of the fundamental scientific problems related to chemical, material, biological, and physical systems. These steady-state and dynamical properties at interfaces and surfaces require even-order techniques with time-resolution and spectral-resolution. Here, we develop fourth-order interface-/surface-specific two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy, including both two-dimensional electronic sum frequency generation (2D-ESFG) spectroscopy and two-dimensional electronic second harmonic generation (2D-ESHG) spectroscopy, for structural and dynamics studies of interfaces and surfaces. The 2D-ESFG and 2D-ESHG techniques were based on a unique laser source of broadband short-wave IR from 1200 nm to 2200 nm from a home-built optical parametric amplifier. With the broadband short-wave IR source, surface spectra cover most of the visible light region from 480 nm to 760 nm. A translating wedge-based identical pulses encoding system (TWINs) was introduced to generate a phase-locked pulse pair for coherent excitation in the 2D-ESFG and 2D-ESHG. As an example, we demonstrated surface dark states and their interactions of the surface states at p-type GaAs (001) surfaces with the 2D-ESFG and 2D-ESHG techniques. These newly developed time-resolved and interface-/surface-specific 2D spectroscopies would bring new information for structure and dynamics at interfaces and surfaces in the fields of the environment, materials, catalysis, and biology.

Abstract
Solvents for cleaning optics often come into contact with plastic and/or rubber during storage and transfer. To explore the effects that exposure to these materials can have on solvents, we used vibrational sum-frequency-generation spectroscopy to study a silica optic following cleaning with solvents that had come into contact with either low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, or rubber. Our studies show that even brief contact of acetone, methanol, or isopropanol with plastic or rubber can cause otherwise pure solvents to leave a persistent residue.

Abstract
Nitriles are important solvents not just for bulk reactions but also for interfacial processes such as separations, heterogeneous catalysis, and electrochemistry. Although nitriles have a polar end and a lipophilic end, the cyano group is not hydrophilic enough for these substances to be thought of as prototypical amphiphiles. This picture is now changing, as research is revealing that at a silica surface nitriles can organize into structures that, in many ways, resemble lipid bilayers. This unexpected organization may be a key component of unique interfacial behavior of nitriles that make them the solvents of choice for so many applications. The first hints of this lipid-bilayer-like (LBL) organization of nitriles at silica interfaces came from optical Kerr effect (OKE) experiments on liquid acetonitrile confined in the pores of sol-gel glasses. The orientational dynamics revealed by OKE spectroscopy suggested that the confined liquid is composed of a relatively immobile sublayer of molecules that accept hydrogen bonds from the surface silanol groups and an interdigitated, antiparallel layer that is capable of exchanging into the centers of the pores. This picture of acetonitrile has been borne out by molecular dynamics simulations and vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) experiments. Remarkably, these simulations further indicate that the LBL organization is repeated with increasing disorder at least 20 Å into the liquid from a flat silica surface. Simulations and VSFG and OKE experiments indicate that extending the alkyl chain to an ethyl group leads to the formation of even more tightly packed LBL organization featuring entangled alkyl tails. When the alkyl portion of the molecule is a bulky t-butyl group, packing constraints prevent well-ordered LBL organization of the liquid. In each case, the surface-induced organization of the liquid is reflected in its interfacial dynamics. Acetonitrile/water mixtures are favored solvent systems for separations technologies such as hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Simulations had suggested that although a monolayer of water partitions to the silica surface in such mixtures, acetonitrile tends to associate with this monolayer. VSFG experiments reveal that, even at high water mole fractions, patches of well-ordered acetonitrile bilayers remain at the silica surface. Due to its ability to donate and accept hydrogen bonds, methanol also partitions to a silica surface in acetonitrile/methanol mixtures and can serve to take the place of acetonitrile in the sublayer closest to the surface. These studies reveal that liquid nitriles can exhibit an unexpected wealth of new organizational and dynamic behaviors at silica surfaces, and presumably at the surfaces of other chemically important materials as well. This behavior cannot be predicted from the bulk organization of these liquids. Our new understanding of the interfacial behavior of these liquids will have important implications for optimizing a wide range of chemical processes in nitrile solvents.

Abstract
We combine second-order nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations to quantify the molecular tilt angle and the structural variation of a decanoic acid surfactant monolayer on water. We demonstrate that there is a remarkable degree of delocalization of the vibrational modes along the backbone of the amphiphilic molecule. A simulation-based on modeled sum frequency generation (SFG) spectra offers quantitative insights into the disorder of surfactant monolayers at the water-air interface. It is shown that an average of one gauche defect in the alkyl chain suffices to give rise to the methylene stretch intensity similar in magnitude to the methyl stretch.

Abstract
A simple model is presented for interpreting the presence of substantial second harmonic generation (SHG) activity from assemblies of centrosymmetric molecular building blocks. Using butadiene as a computationally tractable centrosymmetric model system, time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations of the nonlinear polarizability of butadiene dimer were well-described through exciton coupling arguments based on the electronic structure of the monomer and the relative orientation between the monomers within the dimer. Experimental studies of the centrosymmetric molecule 2,6-di-tert-butylanthraquinone suggest the formation of a combination of SHG-active and SHG-inactive crystal forms. The structure for the centrosymmetric form is known, serving as a negative control for the model, while the presence of an additional SHG-active metastable form is consistent with predictions of the model for alternative molecular packing configurations.
