    Crystal structure of (1S,2R,4S)-1-[(morpholin-4-yl)-methyl]-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohexane-1,2-diol
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Outouch, Rachid; Oubaassine, Saadia; Ali, Mustapha Ait; El Firdoussi, Larbi; Spannenberg, Anke
    The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H25NO3, contains two independent mol­ecules with similar geometry. The morpholine and cyclo­hexane rings of both mol­ecules adopt a chair conformation. Intra­molecular O-H...N hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O-H...O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the [101] direction. The chains are further connected through C-H...O hydrogen bonds forming undulating layers parallel to the (-101) plane. The absolute configuration was assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure.

    Hydrogen bonding in ionic liquids probed by linear and nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy
    (Bristol : IOP, 2012) Roth, C.; Chatzipapadopoulos, S.; Kerlé, D.; Friedriszik, F.; Lütgens, M.; Lochbrunner, S.; Kühn, O.; Ludwig, R.
    Three imidazolium-based ionic liquids of the type [Cnmim] [NTf2] with different alkyl chain lengths (n = 1, 2 and 8) at the first position of the imidazolium ring were studied applying infrared, linear Raman and multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. The focus has been on the CH-stretching region of the imidazolium ring, which is supposed to carry information about a possible hydrogen bonding network in the ionic liquid. The measurements are compared with calculations of the corresponding anharmonic vibrational spectra for a cluster of [C 2mim][NTf2] consisting of four ion pairs. The results support the hypothesis of weak hydrogen bonding involving the C(4)-H and C(5)-H groups and somewhat stronger hydrogen bonds of the C(2)-H groups.

    Compact, high-repetition-rate source for broadband sum-frequency generation spectroscopy
    (Melville, NY : AIP Publishing, 2017) Heiner, Zsuzsanna; Petrov, Valentin; Mero, Mark
    We present a high-efficiency optical parametric source for broadband vibrational sum-frequency generation (BB-VSFG) for the chemically important mid-infrared spectral range at 2800-3600 cm-1 to study hydrogen bonding interactions affecting the structural organization of biomolecules at water interfaces. The source consists of a supercontinuum-seeded, dual-beam optical parametric amplifier with two broadband infrared output beams and a chirped sum-frequency mixing stage providing narrowband visible pulses with adjustable bandwidth. Utilizing a pulse energy of only 60 μJ from a turn-key, 1.03-μm pump laser operating at a repetition rate of 100 kHz, the source delivers 6-cycle infrared pulses at 1.5 and 3.2 μm with pulse energies of 4.6 and 1.8 μJ, respectively, and narrowband pulses at 0.515 μm with a pulse energy of 5.0 μJ. The 3.2-μm pulses are passively carrier envelope phase stabilized with fluctuations at the 180-mrad level over a 10-s time period. The 1.5-μm beamline can be exploited to deliver pump pulses for time-resolved studies after suitable frequency up-conversion. The high efficiency, stability, and two orders of magnitude higher repetition rate of the source compared to typically employed systems offer great potential for providing a boost in sensitivity in BB-VSFG experiments at a reduced cost.

    Ultrafast phosphate hydration dynamics in bulk H2O
    (Melville, NY : American Institute of Physics, 2015) Costard, Rene; Tyborski, Tobias; Fingerhut, Benjamin P.; Elsaesser, Thomas
    Phosphate vibrations serve as local probes of hydrogen bonding and structural fluctuations of hydration shells around ions. Interactions of H2PO4− ions and their aqueous environment are studied combining femtosecond 2D infrared spectroscopy, ab-initio calculations, and hybrid quantum-classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Two-dimensional infrared spectra of the symmetric (𝜈𝑆(PO−2)) and asymmetric (𝜈𝐴𝑆(PO−2)) PO−2 stretching vibrations display nearly homogeneous lineshapes and pronounced anharmonic couplings between the two modes and with the δ(P-(OH)2) bending modes. The frequency-time correlation function derived from the 2D spectra consists of a predominant 50 fs decay and a weak constant component accounting for a residual inhomogeneous broadening. MD simulations show that the fluctuating electric field of the aqueous environment induces strong fluctuations of the 𝜈𝑆(PO−2) and 𝜈𝐴𝑆(PO−2) transition frequencies with larger frequency excursions for 𝜈𝐴𝑆(PO−2). The calculated frequency-time correlation function is in good agreement with the experiment. The 𝜈(PO−2) frequencies are mainly determined by polarization contributions induced by electrostatic phosphate-water interactions. H2PO4−/H2O cluster calculations reveal substantial frequency shifts and mode mixing with increasing hydration. Predicted phosphate-water hydrogen bond (HB) lifetimes have values on the order of 10 ps, substantially longer than water-water HB lifetimes. The ultrafast phosphate-water interactions observed here are in marked contrast to hydration dynamics of phospholipids where a quasi-static inhomogeneous broadening of phosphate vibrations suggests minor structural fluctuations of interfacial water.
