Our results demonstrate that upon combining with zinc ion, the one-photon absorption (OPA), emission and two-photon absorption (TPA) wavelengths show considerable red shift due to the enhanced internal charge transfer mechanism. Moreover, their intensities are enhanced to some extent. It is also shown that the red shifts are quite different for various coordination geometries. When the zinc ion is connected with the electron acceptor of the fluorophore, the OPA, emission and TPA wavelengths have larger red shifts induced by the lower energy gaps between the related molecular orbitals.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"152-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76520625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonlinear optical properties of porphyrins (Cu porphyrin, Zn porphyrin and H2MHTP) and their covalently linked composites with graphene oxide (GO) have been studied by numerically solving the rate equations and field intensity equation with an iterative predictor-corrector finite-difference time-domain technique. The three-level scheme is introduced to illustrate the interaction between the molecules and laser in picosecond time domain. The optical limiting and dynamical two-photon absorption are investigated. Our numerical results show that GO-porphyrin composites show enhanced nonlinear absorption properties compared with individual porphyrin molecules due to the strong electron acceptor capability of the GO moeity, which agrees with the experimental measurements. Moreover, the dependence of the thickness of the absorber and the pulse duration on the two-photon absorption cross sections of the medium are discussed, indicating that one can modulate the dynamical two-photon absorption process by regulating the paremeters of the medium and the laser.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"73 1","pages":"105-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80449919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potential energy curves (PECs) for the ground electronic state of NS are acquired by means of fitting the ab initio energies computed at the multi-reference configuration interaction method with the Davidson correction in combination with a series of correlation-consistent basis sets from Dunning: aug-cc-pVXZ (X = T, Q, 5 and 6). In order to obtain PECs with high accuracy, the PECs computed with aug-cc-pV(Q,5)Z basis sets are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. Such PECs are then used to fit the analytical potential energy functions (APEFs) with the extended Hartree–Fock approximate correlation energy method. Based on the APEFs of NS(X 2 Π), reliable and accurate spectroscopic parameters are obtained. By solving the radial Schrödinger equation numerically, we can acquire the complete set of vibrational levels, inertial rotation constant, centrifugal distortion constants and classical turning points when J = 0. As a whole, our research data can be regarded as a reference for prospective research on the NS molecule.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"44 1","pages":"88-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73547622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studying the fate of DPDS in the course of chemical reactions is of great significance for delineating mechanisms. In this work, the normal Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signals of DPDS in ethanol solution have been characterized. In ethanol solution, the Raman signals of DPDS are completely obscured by the solvent signal. However, after irradiation for more than 10 s, a characteristic peak of DPDS appears at =2544 cm −1 (in both normal Raman and SERS), and a further peak at =1582 cm −1 appears in the SERS spectrum. Hence, in situ measurement and monitoring of DPDS in ethanol solution by SERS is feasible. It would allow us to reveal the micro mechanisms of chemical reactions, determine kinetic characteristics, estimate reasonable reaction end points, improve reaction selectivity, assess the quality and yield of the product, and so on.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"143 2","pages":"84-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72468339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we experimentally investigated the substituent effect on benzoic acid where the mercapto group was located in different positions, namely as 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (2-MBA), 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (3-MBA) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). The substituent effect was found to have an influence on the surface plasmon-catalysed reaction on the surface of the Ag4 atoms in the reaction of MBA with silver sol. In addition to the direct evidence from the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the chemical enhancement mechanism for the generation of the MBA–Ag complex is presented. In contrast with the normal Raman scattering (NRS) spectra, new signals appeared in the SERS spectra of 2-MBA, 3-MBA and 4-MBA under the theoretical and experimental conditions. On investigation of the SERS spectra, the characteristic peaks of the C≡C bond have been demonstrated. The structural, atomic and chemical bond properties of the three types of MBAs indicate that the S atom of the mercapto group in the MBA molecules is the position site that attaches to the silver substrate through the bond of S∙∙∙Ag, and under laser irradiation, “hot electrons” are generated between the surface of MBA and Ag4 atoms. With the effect of “hot electrons”, the –COOH bond of the MBA molecules is broken, and then the two single carboxylate MBA molecules become dimerized thiophenol acetylene (TPA). To briefly consider the substituent effect, the SERS spectra of these three types of MBAs were specifically studied for the enhancement of the Raman signal intensity with a variational tendency evident. Therefore, the conclusion was reached that the substituent effect plays a vital role in the surface plasmon-catalysed reaction, where the changing of the surface-enhanced Raman intensity was demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"87 1","pages":"70-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85936884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
