Acid sites, base sites, and acid–base site pairs on zirconia, magnesia, and hydroxyapatite
were investigated using diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS) to evaluate the …

The aliphatic amino acids glycine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine are thermally placed into
the gas phase and expanded into a vacuum system for access by time of flight mass …

Infrared absorption spectra of (HCOOH) 2 and (DCOOH) 2 in solid argon, krypton, and
xenon matrices have been measured and each fundamental band has been assigned …

Hydrogen bond interactions present in formamide (FMD)+ propionic acid (PA) and
formamide+ acetic acid (AA) binary solutions at various molar concentrations have been …

2-Pyridone (PD) tautomerises to 2-hydroxypyridine (HP) in liquid solution, the equilibrium of
which is solvent dependent. Dimerization of PD and HP leads to the cyclic dimers (PD) …

Lanthanum acetylacetonate La (C5H7O2) 3· xH2O has been used in the preparation of the
precursor solution for the deposition of polycrystalline La2O3 thin films on Si (111) single …

Femtosecond mid-IR transient absorption spectroscopy was used to probe the vibrational
dynamics of formic acid and acetic acid isolated in solid argon following excitation of the …

The double proton transfer process in the cyclic dimer of propionic acid in the gas phase
was studied using a path integral molecular dynamics method. Structures, energies and …

A significant number of phenomena in chemistry are related to the interaction between
closed-shell systems. To this category belong most of the non-covalent interactions known …

This thesis provides a detailed understanding of vibrational dynamics and couplings in a
base pair model system and artificial DNA oligomers at different levels of hydration. By using …
