Abstract
The acid-catalyzed polymerization and resinification, in the 300-673 K interval, of furfuryl alcohol adsorbed in the framework of a protonic Y zeolite is studied by means of FTIR, Raman, and UV-vis spectroscopies. The idea is that restricted spaces can impose a constraint to the growth of the oligomeric chains, therefore moderating the formation of conjugated sequences responsible for the color of the products and allowing their observation by means of spectroscopic techniques. The detailed study of the evolution of UV-vis, FTIR, and Raman spectra upon dosed amount, contact time, and temperature has allowed the spectroscopic features of some of the single species, either neutral and positively charged (carbocationic intermediates), to be singled out and assigned to understand the mechanism of initiation. The vibrational assignments have been confirmed by computer simulations on model compounds and compared with the results of the mechanistic description of the reaction mechanism made in the past (Choura, et al. Macromolecules 1996, 29, 3839-3850). The spectroscopic methods have been applied in a large temperature range in order to follow also the formation of more complex products into the pores, associated with longer conjugated sequences, gradually filling the open spaces of the zeolite. For samples contacted with furfuryl alcohol at 673 K, this methodology gives information also on the incipient carbonization process, leading to the formation of a carbonaceous replica phase inside the internal porosity of the zeolite.

Abstract
The vibrational spectrum of Ca3Fe2Si3O12 andradite is calculated at the Gamma point by using the periodic ab initio CRYSTAL program that adopts an all-electron Gaussian-type basis set and the B3LYP Hamiltonian. The full set of frequencies (17 IR active, 25 Raman active, and 55 inactive modes) is calculated. The effect of the basis set on the calculated frequencies is discussed. The modes are characterized by direct inspection of the eigenvectors and isotopic substitution. The present calculations permit us to clarify some of the assignment problems raised by experiments. The mean absolute differences of the various modes with respect to the available experimental IR and Raman data are as small as 9 and 5 cm(-1), respectively.

Abstract
This work reports the first complete FTIR characterization of H2, N2 and C2H4 molecular complexes formed on the Cr(II) sites in the Phillips catalyst. The use of a silica aerogel as support for Cr(II) sites, substituting the conventional aerosil material, allowed us to obtain a remarkable increase in the signal-to-noise ratio of the IR spectra of adsorbed species. The improvement is directly related to an increase of the surface area of the support (approximately 700 m2 g(-1)) and to an almost complete absence of scattering [Groppo et al., Chem. Mater. 2005, 17, 2019-2027]. The use of this support and the adoption of suitable experimental conditions results, for the first time, in the clear observation of H2 and N2 adducts formed on two different types of Cr(II) sites, thus yielding important information on the coordinative state of the Cr(II) ions, which well agrees with the evidences provided in the past by other probe molecules. Furthermore, we report the first complete characterization of the C2H4 pi-complexes formed on Cr(II) sites. These results are particularly important in the view of the understanding of the polymerization mechanism, since the C2H4 coordination and the formation of pi-bonded complexes are the first steps of the reaction.

Abstract
UV-Vis DRS and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, combined with excitation selective Raman spectroscopy, allow us to understand the main optical and vibrational properties of a metal-organic MOF-5 framework. A O(2-)Zn(2+)[rightward arrow] O(-)Zn(+) ligand to metal charge transfer transition (LMCT) at 350 nm, testifies that the Zn(4)O(13) cluster behaves as a ZnO quantum dot (QD). The organic part acts as a photon antenna able to efficiently transfer the energy to the inorganic ZnO-like QD part, where an intense emission at 525 nm occurs.

Abstract
A thorough analysis of the vibrational features of the titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) catalyst is presented, based on quantitative IR measurements, Raman and resonant Raman experiments, quantitative XANES, and quantum chemical calculations on cluster and periodic models. The linear correlation of the intensity of the IR and Raman bands located at 960 and 1125 cm(-1) and the XANES peak at 4967 eV with the amount of tetrahedral Ti are quantitatively demonstrated. Raman and resonant Raman spectra of silicalite and TS-1 with variable Ti content are presented, showing main features at 960 and 1125 cm(-1) associated with titanium insertion into the zeolite framework. The enhancement of the intensity of the 1125 cm(-1) feature and the invariance of the 960 cm(-1) feature in UV-Raman experiments, are discussed in terms of resonant Raman selection rules. Quantum chemical calculations on cluster models Si[OSi(OH)(3)](4) and Ti[OSi(OH)(3)](4) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory provide the basis for the assignment of the main vibrational contributions and for the understanding of Raman enhancement. The resonance-enhanced 1125 cm(-1) mode is unambiguously associated with a totally symmetric vibration of the TiO(4) tetrahedron, achieved through in-phase antisymmetric stretching of the four connected Ti-O-Si bridges. This vibration can also be described as a totally symmetric stretching of the four Si-O bonds pointing toward Ti. The resonance enhancement of this feature is explained in terms of the electronic structure of the Ti-containing moiety. Asymmetric stretching modes of TO(4) units show distinct behavior when (i) T is occupied by Si as in perfect silicalite, (ii) T is occupied by Ti as in TS-1, or (iii) the oxygen atom belongs to an OH group, such as in terminal tetrahedra of cluster models and in real defective zeolites. Asymmetric SiO(4) and TiO(4) stretching modes appear above and below 1000 cm(-1), respectively, when they are achieved through antisymmetric stretching of the T-O-Si bridges, and around 800 cm(-1) (in both SiO(4) and TiO(4)) when they involve symmetric stretching of the T-O-Si units. In purely siliceous models, the transparency gap between the main peaks at 800 and 1100 cm(-1) contains only vibrational features associated with terminal Si-OH groups, while in Ti-containing models it contains also the above-mentioned asymmetric TiO(4) modes, which in turn are strongly coupled with Si-OH stretching modes. Calculations on periodic models of silicalite and TS-1 free of OH groups using the QMPOT embedding method correctly reproduce the transparency gap of silicalite and the appearance of asymmetric TiO(4) vibrations at 960 cm(-1) in TS-1. Finally, we demonstrate, for the first time, that the distortion of the tetrahedral symmetry around Ti caused by water adsorption quenches the UV-Raman enhancement of the 1125 cm(-1) band.
