Abstract The shoulder observed at approximately 440 cm−1 in Raman spectra of CB vulcanizates prepared from MBT based vulcanizing systems has been shown to consist of two components. There are Raman lines contributing at 440 cm−1 and 424 cm−1. The former is due to ZnO present as an extra-network material while the latter appears to be associated with polysulfidic structures. The Raman line at 505 cm−1 seen in extracted vulcanizates prepared from CB-MBT-Sulfur-ZnO-Lauric acid recipes does not appear to be solely due to disulfidic structures. The major contribution appears to be associated with an unsaturated cyclic sulfide and is most probably due to a structure of the type (I). If the assignment to cyclic sulfidic structures such as (I) is confirmed, it will have major significance with regard to the mechanism of accelerated sulfur vulcanization.

Electronic and Raman spectra of adrenalin–copper(II) complexes and copper catalyzed compounds have been studied. Adrenalin reacts with copper(II) ion at pH 9.2 and higher to produce a very short lived violet free radical, a brown adrenochrome, a yellow conjugated salt, indolyl-indoquinone, and melanin. Results indicate that copper does not form complexes with adrenalin in basic solution. Between pH 6.5 and 8.5 adrenalin transforms into adrenochrome in presence of copper. The adrenochrome in 1.5 N hydrochloric acid produces the conjugate salt that is produced in the solution of high pH. At low pH values, between pH 4.0 to 5.5, adrenalin forms a brown complex with copper(II). Copper is entirely chelated to the phenolic groups of the amines. The complex in 1.5 N hydrochloric acid produces a black polymeric pigment.

Infrared and Raman spectra of solid LiNO2•H2O, LiNO2, NaNO2, KNO2, and CsNO2 are presented and discussed. Pronounced changes in the spectra of LiNO2•H2O during dehydration to anhydrous LiNO2 are interpreted as evidence for an ordered distribution of NO2− ions over two non-equivalent sites (akin to linkage isomerism) in anhydrous LiNO2. The frequencies of the internal modes of the nitrite ion shift to lower values with increasing cation size. Vibrational bands due to nitrate ion present as an impurity are assigned.

Abstract It has been demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy can be used to follow changes that occur in the network of vulcanizates as a function of cure time. In the system studied we have found that dialkenyl sulfides, cyclic sulfides and conjugated triene structures parallel the cure. In other words, the Raman lines due to these structures display an asymptotic trend as a function of cure time with the plateau occurring in the region of the optimum cure time. On the other hand those Raman lines assigned to the trans isomer and conjugated dienes do not exhibit the same asymptotic dependence as a function of cure time but show an increase in intensity as the cure time is prolonged up to at least 2 hours at 150° C. This would appear to indicate that these Raman lines are not solely associated with the vulcanization process but that thermal and allied processes may contribute. The Raman line occurring at 440 cm−1 does not show any definitive trend and is unlikely to be associated directly with the network. It is most probably due to unextracted extra-network ZnO present.

Raman spectra were collected from structure I (sI) and structure II (sII) trimethylene oxide (TMO) hydrates at various temperatures and used to assign the vibrational modes, investigate the ordering of TMO molecules inside the cage structure, and to determine possible interactions between the guest and the host lattice. Only Raman spectra from sI hydrate could be analyzed since the low concentration of TMO prevented sII peaks from being resolved. Comparison of the Raman spectra of liquid, solid, and enclathrated TMO (sI) showed Raman shifts to higher wave numbers for the enclathrated TMO; mainly among the ring modes. The ring and (or) skeletal modes around 930 cm–1 and the asymmetric CH2 stretching mode around 2970 cm–1, showed shifts greater than 10 cm–1. These observed changes are interpreted on the basis of the "loose-cage – tight-cage" model, which interprets the shift as arising from strain induced by the hydrate cage on the guest TMO molecules in the 62 cages. In addition, variable temperature Raman studies, in the temperatures ranging from 103 to 203 K, showed no evidence of ordering and (or) reorientation of host molecules. PACS No.: 78.30.-j

The individual chains in the triple helix of collagen occur in a conformation related to polyproline II because of the presence of large number of imino peptide bonds. However, these residues are not evenly distributed in the collagen molecule which also contains many non-imino residues. These non-imino regions of collagen may be expected to show preference for other than triple helical conformations. The appearance of several Raman bands in solution phase at 65 °C raises the possibility of non-uniform triple helical structure in collagen. Raman spectroscopic studies on collagen in the solid state and in solution at a temperature greater than its denaturation temperature, reported here suggest that denatured collagen may exhibit an ensemble of conformational states with yet unknown implications to the biochemical interactions of this important protein component of connective tissues.

A study of the low frequency vibrational spectra of compounds of the type L2UO2(NO3)2 (L = mono-dentate ligand), MUO2(NO3)3 (M = monovalent cation), and CS2UO2X4 (X = Cl or Br) has shown that the deformation frequency of the uranyl group occurs in the region 274–245 cm−1 but detailed assignments of the U—O (nitrate) frequencies are not given since it is shown that structurally related complexes do not necessarily give similar low frequency infrared (i.r.) and Raman spectra.

The work outlines general ideas on how the frequency and the intensity of proton vibrations of X–H×××Y hydrogen bonding are formed as the bond evolves from weak to maximally strong bonding. For this purpose, the Raman spectra of different chemical compounds with moderate, strong, and extremely strong hydrogen bonds were obtained in the temperature region of 5 K–300 K. The dependence of the proton vibrational frequency is schematically presented as a function of the rigidity of O-H×××O bonding. The problems of proton dynamics on tautomeric O–H···O bonds are considered. A brief description of the N–H···O and C–H···Y hydrogen bonds is given.
