N-[(1E)-(3-Bromophenyl)methylene]-N-(2-piperidin-1-ylethyl)amine Schiff base was prepared in good yield and characterized by the reflux of equivalent amounts of 2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethanamine with 3-bromobenzaldehyde. The structure of the desired Schiff base was analyzed based on: elemental analysis, EI-MS, TG/DTG, UV-visible, FT-IR, 1H and 13C-NMR spectral analysis. The condensation reaction was...

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) separated from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae was determined by gel permeation chromatography to be homogeneous. The high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed-amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) showed a content of monosaccharides D-galactosamine and D-fucose at a molar ratio of about 2:1. The results obtained from Fourier transform...

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of 5-methyl-2-(p-fluorophenyl)benzoxazole were recorded and analysed. The vibrational frequencies of the compound have been computed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G* basis and compared with the experimental values.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a robust method for macromolecular analysis and differentiation of microorganisms. However, most studies are performed in controlled conditions and it is unclear whether this tool is appropriate for the identification of eukaryotic microalgae species from variable environments. In order to address this, nine closely-related species of marine an...

The introduction of time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to biochemistry opened the possibility of monitoring the catalytic mechanism of proteins along their reaction pathways. The infrared approach is very fruitful, particularly in the application to membrane proteins where NMR and X-ray crystallography are challenged by the size and protein hydrophobicity, as well as ...

Geometric parameters and FT-IR spectrum of 6-bromo-8-thia-1,4epoxybicyclo[4.3.0]non-2-ene were computed by the HF, B3LYP, B3PW91 and mPW1PW91 methods in conjunction with the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The calculated IR spectra are in a good agreement with the observed FT-IR spectrum. A general better performance of B3LYP, B3PW91 and mPW1PW91 versus HF was quantitatively characterized by using PAVF 1...

The development and optimization of an automated flow injection (FI) manifold coupled with a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) detector for the determination of toluene, ethyl benzene and o-xylene in an n-hexane matrix is described. FT-IR parameters optimized were resolution and number of co-added scans; FI parameters optimized were type of pump tubing, carrier flow rate and sample volume. ATR...

ATR FT-IR imaging with germanium crystals offers the potential for acquiring infrared spectral images at up to four times higher spatial resolution than is possible using conventional reflectance or transmission imaging. There is often some confusion over the meaning and inter-relationship of terms such as “spatial resolution,” “pixel size” or “sampling interval,” and it may be hard to understa...

A porous lignin-containing hydrogel was developed for dye removal via graft copolymerization of acetic acid lignin (AAL) and acrylamide (AAm), in the presence of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker and H2O2 as an initiator. AAL was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. After being washed to remove impurities, the hydrogel was characterized by FT-IR, TGA, SEM, and swelling ratio. FT...
