Nearly degenerate asymmetric stretches with perpendicular transition dipole moments of the deuterated guanidinium cation (DGdm(+)) in D(2)O and D-glycerol/D(2)O mixtures at 1600 cm(-1) were investigated by linear FTIR spectroscopy and polarization dependent femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The vibrational coupling of the asymmetric stretches of guanidinium occurs within 0.5 ps and leads to fast decay of the anisotropy to a level of 0.1. A systematic study of the influence of the coherence transfer on pump-probe signals is given. Following this decay, the anisotropy decays with a time constant of 4.1 ps in D(2)O by rotational diffusion about an axis perpendicular to the DGdm(+) mean plane. The presence of aggregation was demonstrated for concentrations higher than 0.2 M.

We report nonadiabatic dynamics computations on CH initiated on a coherent superposition of the five lowest cationic states, employing the Quantum Ehrenfest method. In addition to the totally symmetric carbon-carbon double bond stretch and carbon-hydrogen stretches, we see that the three non-totally symmetric modes become stimulated; torsion and three different CH stretching patterns. Thus, a coherent superposition of states, of the type involved in an attochemistry experiment, leads to the stimulation of specific non-totally symmetric motions.

Reaction of Co(NCS) with 4-methyl-pyridine in water leads to the formation of single crystals of the title compound, [Co(NCS)(CHN)] . The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent thio-cyanate anions and two crystallographically independent 4-methyl-pyridine coligands in general positions, as well as of two different Co cations, of which one is located on a twofold rotational axis, whereas the second occupies a center of inversion. The methyl H atoms in both 4-methyl-pyridine ligands are disordered and were refined using a split model.

Brain tumors are among the most dangerous, due to their location in the organ that governs all life processes. Moreover, the high differentiation of these poses a challenge in diagnostics. Therefore, this study focused on the chemical differentiation of glioblastoma G4 (GBM) and two types of meningiomas (atypical - MAtyp and angiomatous - MAng) were done using Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy, combined with statistical, multivariate, machine learning and rate of spectrum changes methods.
