We report here the vibrational analysis of the infrared spectrum of doubly hydrogen bonded dimer of δ-valerolactam measured in CCl4 solution at room temperature (22 °C). The compound shows an equilibrium of population distributed over the monomer and doubly hydrogen bonded dimer, which is manifested by the isosbestic point in the normalized spectra for solutions of different concentrations. Dimerization induced changes in transition frequencies and intensities have been measured and compared with the computed results. Our results suggest doubling of the intensity of the amide-I (predominantly νC═O) band by double hydrogen bonding at the amide (-C(O)-N(H)-) interface. The amide-A (νN-H) spectral region appears broad and is featured with quite a few numbers of substructures. These substructures are theoretically reproduced by incorporating electrical anharmonicity to the vibrational states. Computational results at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory are seen to nicely agree with the measured spectral data.

Seventeen electronic states of the dication VH were characterized by the SA-CASSCF/icMRCI methodology using very extended basis sets; 11 were described for the first time. Potential energy curves were constructed and the associated spectroscopic parameters evaluated. Triplet and quintet states correlating with the V + H channel are thermodynamic stable.

Photoelectron imaging of the doubly deprotonated ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dianion (EDTA) at variable wavelengths indicates two electron loss pathways: direct detachment and thermionic emission from monoanions. The structure of EDTA is also investigated by electronic structure calculations, which indicate that EDTA has two intramolecular hydrogen bonds linking a carboxylate and carboxylic acid group at either end of the molecular backbone. The direct detachment feature in the photoelectron spectrum is very broad and provides evidence for a dissociative photodetachment, where decarboxylation occurs rapidly after electron loss.

An established concept to create radical intermediates is photoexcitation of a catalyst to a higher energy intermediate, subsequently leading to a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) with a reaction partner. The known concept of consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (con-PET) leads to catalytically active species even higher in energy by the uptake of two photons. Generally speaking, increased photon uptake leads to a more potent reductant.

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and single electron transfer (SET) are two fundamental pathways for antiradical/antioxidant processes; however, a systematic operational evaluation of the same system is lacking. Herein, we present a comparative study of the HAT and SET processes applied to a library of well-characterized hybrid materials SiO@GA, SiO@GLA, SiO@GLAM, and the doubly hybrid material {GLA@SiO@GLAM}. Hydroxyl radicals (OH), produced by a Fenton system, react via the single electron transfer (SET) pathway and hydrogen atom transfer, through oxygen- and carbon-atoms, respectively, while the stable-radical DPPH via the HAT pathway through oxygen-atoms.

To understand the recently observed enigmatic nonadiabatic energy transfer for hyperthermal H atom scattering from a semiconductor surface, Ge(111)(2 × 8), we present a mixed quantum-classical nonadiabatic molecular dynamics model based on the time-dependent evolution of Kohn-Sham orbitals and a classical path approximation. Our results suggest that facile nonadiabatic electronic transitions from the valence band to the conduction band occur selectively at the rest atom site, where surface states are doubly occupied, but not at the adatom site, where empty surface states are localized. This drastic site specificity can be attributed to the changes of the local band structure upon energetic H collisions at different surface sites, leading to transient near degeneracies and significant couplings between occupied and unoccupied orbitals at the rest atom but not at the adatom.
