基于逆检索-非负最小二乘法的拉曼混合物分析方法研究

拉曼光谱因它可以提供非常丰富的结构信息而被看作是一项"指纹"技术,因此拉曼光谱可以被用作物质的定性识别。并且拉曼光谱具有制样简单,不破坏样品,在几乎所有的环境下都可以采集。通常认为拉曼光谱只能提供纯物质的结构信息,故利用拉曼光谱分析混合物的成分是有难度的。在便携式拉曼光谱仪、光谱数据库和化学计量学的基础上,开发了一种快速的混合物鉴别方法。根据基于小波域的自动精确峰值检测拉曼光谱的特点,对经典的逆搜索过程进行了改进。匹配质量可以用计算混合物和数据库中相减光谱中的负比率(按最小比例计算反向匹配峰的比值),提出一种基于改进的逆搜索和非负最小二乘法(Reverse searching and non-negative least squares,RSearch-NNLS),用于混合物分析。方法包括以下步骤:1)通过Whittaker平滑、ariPLS基线校正以及连续小波变换建立纯物质的拉曼光谱库;2)通过逆检索法对采集到的混合物拉曼光谱进行定性分析;3)根据第2步的结果,使用非负最小二乘法对候选化合物进行比例估算。方法是一种鉴别混合物的方法,具有一定的应用前景。

A Raman spectroscopic study of synthetic giniite

The mineral giniite has been synthesised and characterised by XRD, SEM and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. SEM images of the olive-green giniite display a very unusual image of pseudo-spheres with roughened surfaces of around 1-10microm in size. The face to face contact of the spheres suggests that the spheres are colloidal and carry a surface charge. Raman spectroscopy proves the (PO4)3- units are reduced in symmetry and in all probability more than one type of phosphate unit is found in the structure. Raman bands at 77K are observed at 3380 and 3186cm-1 with an additional sharp band at 3100cm-1. The first two bands are assigned to water stretching vibrations and the latter to an OH stretching band. Intense Raman bands observed at 396, 346 and 234cm-1are attributed to the FeO stretching vibrations. The giniite phosphate units are characterised by two Raman bands at 1023 and 948cm-1 assigned to symmetric stretching mode of the (PO4)3- units. A complex band is observed at 460.5cm-1 with additional components at 486.8 and 445.7cm-1 attributed to the nu(2) bending modes suggesting a reduction of symmetry of the (PO4)3- units.     

A Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of the uranyl silicates--weeksite, soddyite and haiweeite

Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the molecular structure of a series of selected uranyl silicate minerals, including weeksite K2[(UO2)2(Si5O13)].H2O, soddyite [(UO2)2SiO4.2H2O] and haiweeite Ca[(UO2)2(Si5O12(OH)2](H2O)3 with UO2(2+)/SiO2 molar ratio 2:1 or 2:5. Raman spectra clearly show well resolved bands in the 750-800 cm-1 region and in the 950-1000 cm-1 region assigned to the nu1 modes of the (UO2)2+ units and to the (SiO4)4- tetrahedra. For example, soddyite is characterized by Raman bands at 828.0, 808.6 and 801.8 cm-1 (UO2)2+ (nu1), 909.6 and 898.0 cm-1 (UO2)2+ (nu3), 268.2, 257.8 and 246.9 cm-1 are assigned to the nu2 (delta) (UO2)2+. Coincidences of the nu1 (UO2)2+ and the nu1 (SiO4)4- is expected. Bands at 1082.2, 1071.2, 1036.3, 995.1 and 966.3 cm-1 are attributed to the nu3 (SiO4)4-. Sets of Raman bands in the 200-300 cm-1 region are assigned to nu2 (delta) (UO2)2+ and UO ligand vibrations. Multiple bands indicate the non-equivalence of the UO bonds and the lifting of the degeneracy of nu2 (delta) (UO2)2+ vibrations. The (SiO4)4- tetrahedral are characterized by bands in the 470-550 cm-1 and in the 390-420 cm-1 region. These bands are attributed to the nu4 and nu2 (SiO4)4- bending modes. The minerals show characteristic OH stretching bands in the 2900-3500 cm-1 and 3600-3700 cm-1.     

A Raman spectroscopic study of the uranyl phosphate mineral bergenite

Raman spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K of bergenite has been used to characterise this uranyl phosphate mineral. Bands at 995, 971 and 961 cm-1 (298 K) and 1006, 996, 971, 960 and 948 cm-1 (77K) are assigned to the nu1(PO4)3- symmetric stretching vibration. Three bands at 1059, 1107 and 1152 cm-1 (298 K) and 1061, 1114 and 1164 cm-1 (77 K) are attributed to the nu3(PO4)3- antisymmetric stretching vibrations. Two bands at 810 and 798 cm-1 (298 K) and 812 and 800 cm-1 (77 K) are attributed to the nu1 symmetric stretching vibration of the (UO2)2+ units. Bands at 860 cm-1 (298 K) and 866 cm-1 (77 K) are assigned to the nu3 antisymmetric stretching vibrations of the (UO2)2+ units. UO bond lengths in uranyls, calculated using the wavenumbers of the nu1 and nu3(UO2)2+ vibrations with empirical relations by Bartlett and Cooney, are in agreement with the X-ray single crystal structure data. Bands at (444, 432, 408 cm-1) (298 K), and (446, 434, 410 and 393 cm-1) (77 K) are assigned to the split doubly degenerate nu2(PO4)3- in-plane bending vibrations. The band at 547 cm-1 (298 K) and 549 cm-1 (77 K) are attributed to the nu4(PO4)3- out-of-plane bending vibrations. Raman bands at 3607, 3459, 3295 and 2944 cm-1 are attributed to water stretching vibrations and enable the calculation of hydrogen bond distances of >3.2, 2.847, 2.740 and 2.637 A. These bands prove the presence of structurally nonequivalent hydrogen bonded water molecules in the structure of bergenite.     

Pressure-induced structural transition in n-pentane: a Raman study

Pressure-induced Raman spectroscopy studies on n-pentane have been carried out up to 17 GPa at ambient temperature. n-Pentane undergoes a liquid-solid transition around 3.0 GPa and a solid-solid transition around 12.3 GPa. The intensity ratio of the Raman modes related to all-trans conformation (1130 cm-1 and 2850 cm-1) to that of gauche conformation (1090 cm-1 and 2922 cm-1) suggests an increase in the gauche population conformers above 12.3 GPa. This is accompanied with broadening of Raman modes above 12.3 GPa. The high-pressure phase of n-pentane above 12.3 GPa is a disordered phase where the carbon chains are kinked. The pressure-induced order-disorder phase transition is different from the behavior of higher hydrocarbon like n-heptane.     

DNA碱基激光拉曼光谱检测方法的研究

Ship-in-bottle formation of Ru_3(CO)_(12) in NaY zeolite

NaY zeolite entrapped Ru3(CO)12 cluster has been synthesized from RuCl3 ion-exchanged NaY, which is well characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopies and CO chemisorp-tion. When the Ru3+/NaY sample is heated from 298 K to 393 K for 25 h and for 10 h at 393 K, the sample colour changes from dark to brown-yellow. The in situ infrared spectrum exhibits absorption bands at 2130, 2064, 2040, 2017, 1990, 1953 and 1925 cm-1. The bands at 2130 cm-1 arises from the Runm+(CO)l m =1-3;n = 1 - 3; l = 1-12). The bands at 2064, 2040, 2017 and 1990 cm-1 are proposed to be associated with the Ru3(CO)12/NaY, which are close to Ru3(CO)12 crystalline. Furthermore, the Raman results provide bands at 150 and 185 cm-1, which can be attributed to Ru-Ru bonds of the sample as in the case of Ru3(CO)12 crystalline, for which the A1' Ru-Ru stretching mode is assigned to 185 cm-1 and E1' Ru-Ru stretching mode is assigned to a band at 150 cm-1, respectively. CO chemisorption of [Ru3]/NaY gives a CO/Ru ratio of 3.85, which is simila     

Raman study of the hexafluoroaluminate ion in solid and molten FLINAK

Raman spectra have been obtained for matrix-isolated AlF6(3-) in an LiF/NaF/KF (FLINAK) eutectic mixture. Three Raman bands characteristic of the hexafluoroaluminate ion were identified in the solids formed from FLINAK melts which contained small amounts (5-11 mol%) of either AlF3 or Na3AlF6. The three allowed Raman-active bands of the matrix-isolated octahedral complex ion, nu 1(A1g), nu 2(Eg), and nu 5(F2g), were observed at 560.5, 380, and 325 cm-1, respectively, for the solid sample at 25 degrees C. Wavenumbers and relative intensities were similar to those of Na3AlF6 (cryolite), K3AlF6, and K2NaAlF6 (elpasolite) and other crystals known to contain discrete, octahedral AlF6(3-) ions. Peak positions, half-widths, and relative intensities for the bands were measured for samples at temperatures different from room temperature through the melting transition and into the molten state. The transition from high-temperature solid to molten salt at about 455 degrees C occurred gradually without perceptible change in the peak positions, half-widths, or relative intensities. For a sample in molten FLINAK at 455 degrees C, the nu 1(A1g), nu 2(Eg), and nu 5(F2g) modes of the AlF6(3-) ion were observed at 542, 365, and 324 cm-1, respectively. Raman depolarization experiments were consistent with these assignments, and the low value of the depolarization ratio of the nu 1(A1g) mode at 542 cm-1 indicated that the sample was molten above 455 degrees C. Differential thermal analysis also indicated that the FLINAK samples melted at about 455 degrees C. Raman measurements were performed for samples at temperatures from 25 to 600 degrees C in a silver dish, on a hot stage, in an argon-filled atmosphere, under a microscope. Additional Raman experiments were performed on samples at temperatures from 25 to 750 degrees C in a conventional graphite windowless cell, in an argon-filled quartz tube, in a standard furnace. Over the concentration range 4.8-11 mol% AlF3 (CR 23-8.0) in FLINAK, only bands due to the AlF6(3-) ion were detected. There was no evidence to support the presence of other aluminum complexes in these melts.     

Dioxygen reactivity of a copper(I) complex with a N3S thioether chelate; peroxo-dicopper(II) formation including sulfur-ligation

Employing a tetradentate N3S(thioether) ligand, LN3S, dioxygen reactivity of a copper(I) complex, [(LN3S)CuI]+ (1) was examined. In CH2Cl2, acetone (at -80 degrees C), or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (at -128 degrees C), 1 reacts with O2 producing the end-on bound peroxodicopper(II) complex [{(LN3S)CuII}2(mu-1,2-O2(2-))]2+ (2), the first reported copper-dioxygen adduct with sulfur (thioether) ligation. Its absorption spectrum contains an additional low-energy feature (but not a Cu-S CT band) compared to the previously well-characterized N4 ligand complex, [{(TMPA)CuII}2(mu-1,2-O2(2-))]2+ (3) (TMPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). Resonance Raman spectroscopy confirms the peroxo formulation {nu(O-O) = 817 cm-1 (16-18O2 Delta = 46 cm-1) and nu(Cu-O) = 545 cm-1 (16-18O2 Delta = 26 cm-1), in close analogy to that known for 3 {nu(O-O) = 827 cm-1 and nu(Cu-O) = 561 cm-1}. Direct evidence for thioether ligation comes from EXAFS spectroscopy {Cu K-edge; Cu-S = 2.4 A}.     

Detection of innersphere interactions between magnesium hydrate and the phosphate backbone of the HDV ribozyme using Raman crystallography

A Raman microscope and Raman difference spectroscopy are used to detect the vibrational signature of RNA-bound magnesium hydrate in crystals of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme and to follow the effects of magnesium hydrate binding to the nonbridging phosphate oxygens in the phosphodiester backbone. There is a correlation between the Raman intensity of the innersphere magnesium hydrate signature peak, near 322 cm-1, and the intensity of the PO2- symmetric stretch, near 1100 cm-1, perturbed by magnesium binding, demonstrating direct observation of -PO2-...Mg2+(H2O)x innersphere complexes. The complexes may be pentahydrates (x = 5) and tetrahydrates (x = 4). The assignment of the Raman feature near 322 cm-1 to a magnesium hydrate species is confirmed by isotope shifts observed in D2O and H218O that are semiquantitatively reproduced by calculations. The standardized intensity changes in the 1100 cm-1 PO2- feature seen upon magnesium hydrate binding indicates that there are approximately 5 innersphere Mg2+...-O2P contacts per HDV molecule when the crystal is exposed to a solution containing 20 mM magnesium.     

Criteria for determining the hydrogen-bond structures of a tyrosine side chain by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy: density functional theory analyses of model hydrogen-bonded complexes of p-cresol

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful method to investigate the structures of key Tyr residues involved in various protein reactions. In this study, we have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations for various hydrogen-bonded complexes of p-cresol, a simple model of a Tyr side chain, in different hydrogen-bond forms to develop explicit criteria for determining the hydrogen-bond structures of Tyr using FTIR spectroscopy. The CO stretching (nuCO) and COH bending (deltaCOH) vibrations were focused as markers and calculated results were compared with experimental data of p-cresol and Tyr. The calculated and experimental nuCO frequencies appeared at 1280-1260, 1260-1250, 1255-1235, and 1240-1220 cm-(1) in the hydrogen-bond donor, free, donor-acceptor, and acceptor forms, respectively. These frequencies, which showed little overlap between the individual hydrogen-bond forms, had a negative linear correlation with the CO lengths in optimized geometries. The deltaCOH frequencies were found at 1255-1210 cm-(1) in the donor form, while the free and acceptor forms showed relatively low deltaCOH frequencies at 1185-1165 and 1190-1160 cm-(1), respectively. In the donor-acceptor form, the vibrational mode with a considerable deltaCOH contribution was found at 1280-1255 cm-(1) with a weak IR intensity. This frequency and the nuCO frequency in the donor-acceptor form are similar to the nuCO and deltaCOH frequencies, respectively, of the donor form, making it difficult to discriminate the two forms. These two forms can be clearly distinguished by detecting a strong nuCO(D) band in p-cresol-OD or Tyr-OD, in which the deltaCOD vibration largely downshifts to approximately 1000 cm-(1). The nuCO(D) frequency of the donor-acceptor form was found at 1260-1240 cm-(1), while that of the donor form was at 1270-1255 cm-(1). Practically, plotting the frequency of the lower-frequency strong IR band (nuCO of the donor-acceptor form or deltaCOH of the donor form) of undeuterated species against the nuCO(D) frequency is convenient for accurate discrimination. Because the donor form shows a positive linear correlation between deltaCOH and nuCO(D) frequencies, the two forms exhibited distinct areas in this plot. The effects of hydrogen-bond interactions on other potential IR and Raman markers are also discussed.
