    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.

    The interaction of chondroitin sulfate with a lipid monolayer observed by using nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy
    (Cambridge : RSC Publ., 2021) Szekeres, Gergo Peter; Krekic, Szilvia; Miller, Rebecca L.; Mero, Mark; Pagel, Kevin; Heiner, Zsuzsanna
    The first vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectra of chondroitin sulfate (CS) interacting with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) at air–liquid interface are reported here, collected at a laser repetition rate of 100 kHz. By studying the VSFG spectra in the regions of 1050–1450 cm−1, 2750–3180 cm−1, and 3200–3825 cm−1, it was concluded that in the presence of Ca2+ ions, the head groups together with the head-group-bound water molecules in the DPPC monolayer are strongly influenced by the interaction with CS, while the organization of the phospholipid tails remains mostly unchanged. The interactions were observed at a CS concentration below 200 nM, which exemplifies the potential of VSFG in studying biomolecular interactions at low physiological concentrations. The VSFG spectra recorded in the O–H stretching region at chiral polarization combination imply that CS molecules are organized into ordered macromolecular superstructures with a chiral secondary structure.
