Raman and Se-77 NMR spectroscopy confirm that when selenous acid is reduced by thiosulfate in water selenopentathionate and tetrathionate are formed.[Formula: see text]Depending upon the stoichiometry and pH, two isomers of the selenopentathionate ion, O- and S-bonded, are formed. Insufficiently acid solutions cause decomposition to selenium and tetrathionate ion.[Formula: see text]Fresh solutions prepared from crystalline sodium selenopentathionate and water undergo slow decompositon. NMR and Raman spectra show the presence of both the O-bonded and S-bonded linkage isomers. The O-bonded isomer facilitates the formation of tetrathionate. Addition of thiosulfate to selenotrithionate solution or sulfite to selenopentathionate solution yields trithionate with no indication of dithionate or tetrathionate formation. This suggests that simple S—S bond formation at selenium does not occur but that there may be direct attack of the incoming ligand on the attached ligand. Key words: selenite, thiosulfate, selenopentathionate, Se-77 NMR, Raman spectroscopy, linkage isomerism.

The oxidation of thiocyanic acid by selenous acid has been shown to take place in an analogous way to that found for selenous acid oxidation of most thiols and thiolates to give the corresponding selenotrisulfide and disulfide products[Formula: see text]The products of this reaction have been studied by IR, Raman, and Se-77, C-13, and N-15 NMR spectroscopy. The vibrational spectra of the solid Se(SCN)2 have been assigned based on S-bonded thiocyanate ligands and, through NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, both this linkage isomer and the isomer with N- and S-bonded thiocyanate have been identified and characterized in solutions of Se(SCN)2. A complex combination of scalar relaxation processes, involving chemical exchange and quadrupolar effects, accounts for the line broadening observed in the carbon-13 NMR spectra. Key words: selenite, thiocyanate, selenium dithiocyanate, Se-77, N-15, and C-13 NMR; Raman spectroscopy; linkage isomerism

Solutions of TeO2 (0.001 M) in HCl over a range of concentrations are shown to contain TeCl2(OH)2 in addition to TeCl62−and TeCl4(OH)−. The hydrolysis constants for TeCl62− and TeCl4(OH)− have been determined from a reconsideration of earlier UV-visible spectrophotometric results (1)[Formula: see text]The hydrolysis constants have also been determined by quantitative Raman spectroscopy (K1 = 2.21 (± 0.16) × 104 M3; K2 = 442 ± 57 M3). The agreement between K2 determined by the two methods is good but K1 from spectrophotometry is much larger than that from Raman studies. This disagreement is attributed to ion-pairing which will be significant at the concentration at which the Raman measurements were made (c(TeO2) = 0.50 M). The hydrolysis constant for TeCl62− was also determined from the 125Te NMR spectra of TeO2/HCl solutions, which consisted of one signal, indicating rapid Te exchange between all species. The hydrolysis constant, determined in this way (K1 = 1.92 (± 0.07) × 104 M3) was also low compared to that determined from spectrophotometry. Key words: solution, equilibria, tellurium, hydrochloric acid, Raman spectroscopy, 125Te NMR spectroscopy, UV–visible spectrophotometry.

We investigated the nitridation of reduced BaTiO3, BaTiO2.60H0.08, corresponding to an oxyhydride with a large concentration of O defects (>10%). The material is readily nitrided under flowing N2 gas at temperatures between 400 and 450 °C to yield oxynitrides BaTiO2.6Nx (x = 0.2−0.22) with a slightly tetragonally distorted perovskite structure, a ≈ 4.01 and c ≈ 4.02 Å, and Ti partially remaining in the oxidation state III. The tetragonal structure was confirmed from Raman spectroscopy. 14N MAS NMR spectroscopy shows a single resonance at 270 ppm, which is typical for perovskite transition metal oxynitrides. However, largely different signal intensity for materials with very similar N content suggests N/O/vacancy ordering when prolonging nitridation times to hours. Diffuse reflectance UV-VIS spectroscopy shows a reduction of the intrinsic band gap to 2.4–2.45 eV compared to BaTiO3 (~3.2 eV). Mott-Schottky measurements confirm n-type conductivity and reveal a slight negative shift of the conduction band edge from –0.59 V (BaTiO3) to ~–0.65 eV.

Determining the pKa of key functional groups is critical to understanding the pH-dependent behavior of biological proteins and peptide-based biomaterials. Traditionally, 1H NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine the pKa of amino acids; however, for larger molecules and aggregating systems, this method can be practically impossible. Previous studies concluded that the C-D stretches in Raman are a useful alternative for determining the pKa of histidine residues. In this study, we report on the Raman application of the C2-D probe on histidine’s imidazole side chain to determining the pKa of histidine in a short peptide sequence. The pKa of the tripeptide was found via difference Raman spectroscopy to be 6.82, and this value was independently confirmed via 1H NMR spectroscopy on the same peptide. The C2-D probe was also compared to other Raman reporters of the protonation state of histidine and was determined to be more sensitive and reliable than other protonation-dependent signals. The C2-D Raman probe expands the tool box available to chemists interested in directly interrogating the pKa’s of histidine-containing peptide and protein systems.

Ligand scrambling reactions in cyano(thione)gold(I) complexes ([>C=S-Au-CN]) to form [Au(>C=S)2]+ and [Au(CN)2]– species have been investigated for a series of thiones in DMSO using 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy. Rapid approach to equilibrium occurred and resulted in distinct signals for the [>C=S-Au-CN] and [Au(CN)2]– complexes, both in 13C and 15N NMR. Equilibrium constants (Keq) were determined for scrambling of all the complexes by integrating the CN resonances in the 13C NMR recorded at 298 K. The influence of various factors (initial concentration, ionic strength, temperature, and solvent polarity) on the Keq value was examined for a representative complex (ImtAuCN (Imt = Imidazolidine-2-thione)).Key words: cyanogold(I) complexes, thiones, ligand scrambling, NMR, Keq.
