With the extreme rotational and vibrational cooling in the jet much of the congestion observed in the spectrum at room temperature is removed. To resolve individual rotational lines it is necessary to remove most of the Doppler broadening. The techniques most often employed are either to use a skimmed supersonic jet, to leave only the core molecular beam, or to arrange to observe only the core. Fluorescence excitation, or resonant multiphoton ionisation, provides vibrational or high-resolution rotational information about the excited electronic state. Single vibronic level (or dispersed) fluorescence is used to obtain vibrational information about the ground state. Structural and conformational information about these molecules, in both their ground and excited states, much of it difficult to obtain in any other way, can be obtained by these techniques.","PeriodicalId":17286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76875574","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 variations of molecular structure, linear (α) and NLO polarizabilities (β, γ) for a set of push–pull quinones are discussed in terms of quinoid–benzenoid character (QBC), and the strength of donor–acceptor pairs (δDA). The parameter δDA, already used for the polyenebridge, is still valid in rationalizing the donor–acceptor strength for quinoid derivatives. In addition, we examined how an external electric field created by ‘Sparkles’ in the MOPAC package drives a quinoid molecule from the quinoid limit to the benzenoid limit, and how it affects the NLO properties. The results show that the effect produced by Sparkles is qualitatively similar to that of donor–acceptor pairs.","PeriodicalId":17286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78197105","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}

An LiNbO3 polycrystalline powder had only a peak from NO3− after exposure between room temperature and 400 °C. The oxygen vacancies of lattice oxygen were produced with both LiNbO3 samples after exposure at room temperature. These oxygen vacancies in the LiNbO3 single crystal were partially refilled with NO− after exposure at 200 and 400 °C. On the other hand, the vacancies associated with the polycrystalline powder were partially refilled by the out-diffusion of oxygen ions from the bulk to the surface after exposure at 200 and 400 °C.

The variation with ambient temperature, exothermicity and Biot number are all explicitly shown. The results are important for calculations relevant to the critical hot product assembly problem where a hot manufactured organic product is packed into containers or stockpiled at a subcritical ambient storage temperature.

The Ga2−xInxO3 solid solutions were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area, diffuse reflection spectra, photoluminescent and photoelectrochemical measurements. As the ratio of In was increased from x = 0 to 1 in Ga2−xInxO3, the lattice parameters were increased, indicating the formation of solid solutions as has previously been reported. Corresponding to this, the absorption, excitation and emission spectra were red-shifted, showing a decrease in the band gaps, and the flat band potentials were shifted positively. Among the solid solutions, GaInO3 (or Ga1.14In0.86O3) showed the highest photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution from aqueous methanol solutions and for O2 evolution from aqueous silver nitrate solutions. The dependency of the photocatalytic activities on the composition of the solid solutions was explained by taking the number of available photons and the flat band potentials into consideration.","PeriodicalId":17286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75224577","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}
