Article Abstract
The present paper reports the possible geometries and vibrational spectra of AsF6- anion and M+ AsF6- (M+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+) contact ion pairs. It was shown that the tridentate C3v structure of M+ AsF- was preferred over the monodentate and bidentate geometry. In the tridentate structure, the symmetry of AsF6- in the coordination is lowered because of the presence of M+, and its structural parameters and vibrational modes largely differ from its original octahedral structure. The effect of Li+ on the structure of AsF6- was greater due to its larger charge/radius ratio. The calculated bands for AsF6- in M+ AsF6-, located in the range of 600-800 cm(-1), could be used to fingerprint what kind of ion pair was present in solutions.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopic imaging combines the molecular specificity of vibrational spectroscopy with imaging capabilities of microscopy, potentially allowing for simultaneous quantitative observations of drugs and cellular response. However, accurately quantifying drug concentration within changing cells is complicated by the overlap between exogenous molecules' and native cellular spectra. Here, we address this challenge by developing a derivative of the widely used chemotherapeutic doxorubicin as a spectral bioprobe (DOX-IR) using a strongly absorbing metal-carbonyl moiety [(Cp)Fe(CO)].

An improved rotational characterization of the E3Σ1+(63S1) Rydberg state of the CdAr diatom produced in a supersonic beam and studied using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectra is presented. As an example, the spectra of the E3Σ1+←A3Π0+(53P1) transition, originating from the excitation of a single 116Cd40Ar isotopologue, are recorded and analyzed. In the experiment, the optical-optical double resonance method is employed, utilizing the E3Σ1+(υ')←A3Π0+(53P1)(υ″=6)←X1Σ0+(υ=0) scheme.

Sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) has been well-established as a unique spectroscopic probe to interrogate the structure, interaction, and dynamics of molecular interfaces, with sub-monolayer sensitivity and broad applications. Sub-1 cm-1 High-Resolution Broadband SFG-VS (HR-BB-SFG-VS) has shown advantages with high spectral resolution and accurate spectral line shape. However, due to the lower peak intensity for the long picosecond pulse used in achieving sub-wavenumber resolution in the HR-BB-SFG-VS measurement, only molecular interfaces with relatively strong signal have been studied.

Based on a theoretical analysis of systems composed of subsystems described using a coupled cluster parametrization, we developed a vibrational coupled cluster embedding theory specifically tailored for the computation of response properties. This work identifies several strategies for calculating excitation energies, transition probabilities, and other response functions in large systems of interacting subsystems. A particularly effective embedding approach was formulated around a Lagrangian with multilinear interaction terms, yielding a structure that is nonlinear in both coupled cluster amplitudes and multipliers.

The incorporation of transitional elements into silicon or germanium-based semiconductor clusters not only notably improves their structural stability but also endows them with unprecedented multifunctionalities. In this work, the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties for copper-doped silicon and germanium cation clusters Cu (X = Si or Ge, = 6-16) are systematically investigated. The ground-state structures are identified using the PBE0 and mPW2PLYP method combined with a global search technique.
