Vibrational Spectroscopy of C60

The fullerene era was started in 1985 with the discovery of the stable C60 cluster and its interpretation as a cage structure with the familiar shape of a soccer ball [1]. An explosive growth in fullerene research was triggered in 1990 by the development of a method to produce fullerenes in bulk quantities [2]. Subsequently, the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of many fullere...

Vibrational spectroscopy of resveratrol.

In this article the authors deal with the experimental and theoretical interpretation of the vibrational spectra of trans-resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) of diverse beneficial biological activity. Infrared and Raman spectra of the compound were recorded; density functional calculations were carried out resulting in the optimized geometry and several properties of the molecule. Ba...

Vibrational spectroscopy and imaging.

Vibrational spectroscopy of Methyl benzoate.

Methyl benzoate is studied as a model compound for the development of new IR pulse schemes with possible applicability to biomolecules. Anharmonic vibrational modes of Methyl benzoate are calculated on different level (MP2, SCS, CCSD(T) with varying basis sets) ab initio PESs using the vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) method and its correlation corrected extensions. Dual level schemes, ...

Vibrational Spectroscopy of Ionic Liquids.

Vibrational spectroscopy has continued use as a powerful tool to characterize ionic liquids since the literature on room temperature molten salts experienced the rapid increase in number of publications in the 1990's. In the past years, infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies have provided insights on ionic interactions and the resulting liquid structure in ionic liquids. A large body of informa...
