Amsacrine (4′-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon- m-anisidide) in both solid and aqueous forms was characterized with the use of resonance and nonresonance Raman spectroscopy (including FT-Raman spectroscopy). Evidence that the acridine nucleus is the dominant chromophoric unit contributing to the resonance Raman spectrum is based upon the apparent similarities of the spectra of aqueous amsacrine (in the unpro-tonated form) and acridine (in ethanol). The probable non-coplanarity of the acridine and phenyl units in the amsacrine molecule (based on previously reported crystal structure data) is consistent with the suggestion that the acridine nucleus may constitute an independent chromophoric unit. Further evidence is derived from analysis of the UV-visible spectrum, which indicates that excitation at 457.9 nm falls within an electronic transition of the acridine nucleus of amsacrine. The excitation profiles of aqueous amsacrine are presented, and four types of profiles have been identified.

Alternative and, in some cases, improved syntheses of the salts MX3(As/Sb)F6 (M = S, Se) and SCl3(SbCl6/AlCl4) are described. In addition, the synthesis of SeCl3SbF6 is reported. The compounds were characterized by FT–Raman spectroscopy and the X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6 (also 77Se NMR) and a new phase of SBr3SbF6 were determined. Crystals of SeCl3AsF6 and SBr3SbF6 are monoclinic, space group P21/c with [values for SBr3SbF6 in brackets] a = 7.678(1) [8.137(1)] Å, b = 9.380(3) [9.583(2)] Å, c = 11.920(3) [12.447(2)] Å, β = 98.19(2)° [97.36(1)]°, V = 849.72(3) [962.6(3)] Å3,z = 4, Dx = 2.925 [3.502] Mg m−3, R = 0.0525 [0.055], and Rw = 0.0554 [0.060] for 1151 [1472] observed reflections. Key words: MX3+ salts, FT–Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6, SBr3SbF6, and preparation of SeCl3SbF6.

Two samples of decorated stained glass (14th century and 19th century) from Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire, U.K. have been examined with the use of Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectroscopy. The pigment used in both cases has been identified as red ochre, and the potential application of FT-Raman spectroscopy to an important area of conservation and restoration of glass artifacts is demonstrated.

A simple FT-Raman spectroscopic method was developed for identification of finasteride polymorph form in finished dosage form. Finasteride polymorph form I was used in the tablet preparation and the weight fraction of finasteride in tablet was only about 0.023. The method was successfully used to identify the polymorphic form of finasteride in tablet and also to detect up to a level of about 15% of the other polymorph of finasteride present in the solid dosage. The dosage form was characterized by different techniques i.e. powdered X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Based on literature survey, only Raman spectroscopy method is able to identify the polymorph of finasteride in dosage form.

Pentafluorophenyl-bis(pentafluorophenylthio)sulfonium hexafluoroarsenate, [(C6F5S)2SC6F5][AsF6], was prepared by the reaction of (C6F5)2S2 and AsF5 in liquid SO2 at room temperature. The compound has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray and powder diffraction, and IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy. Crystals of [(C6F5S)2SC6F5][AsF6] are orthorhombic, space group P212121 (cell dimensions measured at room temperature in brackets): a = 13.132(3) [13.157(2)] Å, b = 21.477(4) [21.575(3)] Å, c = 8.770(2) [8.775(1)] Å, α = ß = γ = 90.00°; V = 2473.3(9) Å3, Z = 4, temperature = 181 ± 1 K. The structure consists of [AsF6]- anions and [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+ cations that have a different structure than the related [X2MMMX]+ cations (M = S, Se; X = Cl, Br), which contain a trichalcogen chain with a pronounced chalcogen-chalcogen bond alternation. Ab initio calculations suggest the observed [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+ geometry is due to steric and solid state effects. Comparison of the Raman spectra of [(C6F5)S2SC6F5][AsF6], [Cl2SSSCl][AsF6], and [(CH3)2ClS3]+ implies that [(CH3)2ClS3]+ has a structure with equal sulfur-sulfur distances, and therefore the structure is likely [(CH3S)2SCl]+ and probably not the previously reported [(CH3)2SSSCl]+.Key words: [R3X3]+ cations, X-ray crystal structure, FT-Raman spectroscopy, [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+, pentafluorophenyl-bis(pentafluorophenylthio)sulfonium cation, hexafluoroarsenate.

The potential of Fourier-transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy for verification of individual steps of synthesis of new chromatographic stationary phases was studied. 3-Aminopropylated silica gel was modified with two different optically active compounds ((+)-cloprostenol, (+)-(R)-2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid) via amide bonds. In the next step, free silanol groups were protected with trimethylsilyl groups. The FT Raman spectroscopic results compared with the data obtained by elemental analysis enable not only qualitative verification of synthetic steps, but also a semiquantitative determination of covering of the silica gel surface by derivatization agent.

AbstractThe first FT-Raman spectroscopic study of foliicolous lichens is reported. Detailed spectra obtained by macroscopic and microscopic means for Calenia triseptata Zahlbr., Echinoplaca strigulacea (Müll. Arg.) R.Sant. and Tricharia carnea (Müll. Arg.) R.Sant. collected from Costa Rican rainforests have been interpreted mainly in terms of their xalate content. The Raman spectra show a significant presence of calcium oxalate monohydrate (whewellite) despite the lack of calcium ions available in the leaf itself. A reasonable explanation for its presence could be the result of the incorporation of calcium ions from airborne dust and/or dissolved in rain falling on the canopy.

The study of colored organometallic complexes by dispersive Raman spectroscopy has been limited due to fluorescence or photodecomposition caused by the visible laser used as the excitation source. As a solution to this problem, FT-Raman spectroscopy with a near-infrared laser source has been useful in lowering fluorescence or photolysis in these samples. To investigate the utility of this technique, we have obtained and assigned the FT-Raman spectra of a series of arene chromium tricarbonyl complexes and of cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. Some bands previously unobserved by dispersive Raman spectroscopy were seen, including a band assigned to a 13CO satellite in the spectrum of methylbenzoate chromium tricarbonyl. In addition, FT-Raman data for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Protein-A are presented. Keywords: FT-Raman spectroscopy, metal carbonyl, proteins, organometallics, near infrared.
