Article Abstract
We have studied temperature dependent IR spectra of the C-H stretching modes of the imidazolium ring in [bmim][PF(6)], [bmim][Tf(2)N], [emim][Tf(2)N], [hmim][Tf(2)N], and [bmim][BF(4)]. Temperatures in this study are from 278 to 348 K at an interval of 10 K. Spectra of the C-H stretching modes have been deconvoluted using our previous computer program of the Voigt-lineshape function. Frequency shifts, Lorentzian spectral widths, and band absorbance were examined as a function of temperature. In order to interpret the observed behaviors, we have developed a simple mechanical model as well as a chemical equilibrium model. The model analyses suggest that enthalpy changes for the cluster and/or ion-pair breaking reactions in the liquid state are several kJ mol(-1) endothermic, and the degree of dissociations of ion pairs or hydrogen bonded clusters is in the range from 0.3 to 0.9 with different magnitudes for the five ionic liquids.

Vibrational spectra of NbCH ( = 1-4) and dehydrogenation products NbCH and NbCH produced by the reaction of Nb with methane are measured using photofragment spectroscopy in the C-H and H-H stretching regions (2500-3600 cm). Entrance channel complexes Nb(CH) are observed with red-shifted vibrations of proximate C-H stretches. Calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory assist in identifying the structures of the ions.

We report on a novel method for tuning and enhancing fluorescence from irradiated polystyrene through focused electron-beam exposure in gaseous environments. We describe the effect of electron dose and ambient gas on the photoluminescence (PL) spectra and yield of irradiated polystyrene films on insulating and conductive substrates. Polystyrene films were exposed in an environmental scanning electron microscope using a 20 keV electron-beam, ambient gas pressures from < 10mbar (high vacuum) to 3 mbar, and electron doses from 1.

The versatile non-biodegradable material plastic has significantly enhanced innovation, but its production heavily relies on fossil fuels and non-renewable resources, which causes severe pollution and ecosystem disruption, highlighting the urgent need for eco-friendly alternatives. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a class of bioplastics that offer a promising solution as biodegradable, environmentally compatible, and versatile biopolymer synthesized by microorganisms using various substrates, aiding in organic waste management. This study was aimed to isolate and profile PHA producing bacteria from diverse sources such as soil, compost, landfill site, and sewage in Nepal.

The degradation of rubber seals (RS) in chlorinated water within the water distribution system has been confirmed, yet there is a lack of research exploring the aging effects of different disinfection conditions on RS surfaces in drinking water distribution systems. This study investigates the impact of various disinfection factors, including disinfectant type, dose, and pH, on RS degradation in chlorinated water. It employs parallel factor analysis of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (PARAFAC-EEM) and two-dimensional correlation analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS).
