  • femtosecond 2dir spectroscopy of the nitrile Stretching Vibration of thiocyanate anions in liquid to supercritical heavy water spectral diffusion and libration induced hydrogen bond dynamics
    Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2015

    Abstract:

    Femtosecond two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy was carried out to study the dynamics of Vibrational spectral diffusion of the nitrile Stretching Vibration of thiocyanate anions (S–CN−) dissolved in liquid-to-supercritical heavy water (D2O). The 2DIR line shapes were used to extract through a nodal slope analysis quantitative information about the correlation function for temporal fluctuations of the CN-Stretching frequency. The inverse nodal slope could be fitted phenomenologically by a simple double-exponential decay whose predominant component had a time constant ranging between 300 fs and 1 ps depending on the temperature. The temperature dependence is interpreted in terms of solvent structural fluctuations that are driven by the librational motions of the D2O molecules located in the first solvation shell of the anion. Complementary molecular dynamics simulations of the SCN−/D2O system indicate that the breaking and making of hydrogen-bonds between the terminal N-atom of the anion and the D2O molecules are induced by the same solvent-shell librational degrees of freedom that drive the Vibrational line broadening dynamics seen in the 2DIR experiment.

  • energy relaxation versus spectral diffusion of the oh Stretching Vibration of hod in liquid to supercritical deuterated water
    Journal of Chemical Physics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Dirk Schwarzer, Jorg Lindner, Peter Vohringer
    Abstract:

    The dynamics of Vibrational energy relaxation (VER) of the OH-Stretching Vibration of HOD in liquid-to-supercritical heavy water is studied as a function of temperature and solvent density by femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy. Using the dielectric constant of the fluid both, the OH-Stretching absorption frequency and the VER rate, can be correlated phenomenologically with the average hydrogen-bond connectivity within the random D2O network. This correlation enables the identification of thermodynamic conditions under which spectral diffusion due to hydrogen-bond breakage/formation is much faster than VER.
