The rotational spectrum of 4-aminobenzonitrile in the gas phase between 2 and 8.5 GHz is reported. Due to the two chemically distinct nitrogen atoms, the observed transitions showed a rich hyperfine structure. From the determination of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, information about the electronic environment of these atoms could be inferred. The results are compared to data for related molecules, especially with respect to the absence of dual fluorescence in 4-aminobenzonitrile. In addition, the two-photon ionization spectrum of this molecule was recorded using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer integrated into the setup. This new experimental apparatus is presented here for the first time.

Background: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern, primarily resulting from chronic alcohol consumption, with oxidative stress as a key driver. The ethyl acetate extract of (CGE) exhibits antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties, but its detailed mechanism of action against ALD remains unclear. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of CGE in alleviating alcohol-induced oxidative stress and liver injury.

Relax: Analytic and automatic NMR relaxation theory.

J Magn Reson

January 2025

NMR Research Unit, University of Oulu, P.O. Box 3000, FI-90014, Finland. Electronic address:

Spin relaxation is modelled using the so-called relaxation superoperator Γˆˆ. Analytic forms of Γˆˆ have been derived in the literature in the simplest cases of one- or two-spin systems, with S=12 nuclei and no more than two different simultaneous relaxation mechanisms involved. Beyond that, for systems of more than two spins, with S>12 and/or multiple relaxation mechanisms at play, the derivations become notoriously complicated, which is why analytic relaxation theory has mostly been considered a dead end.

Rotational spectroscopy is an excellent tool for structure determination, which can provide additional insights into local electronic structure by investigating the hyperfine pattern due to nuclear quadrupole coupling. Jet-cooled molecules are good experimental benchmark targets for electronic structure calculations, as they are free of environmental effects. We report the rotational spectra of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, 3-chlorobenzaldehyde, and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, including a complete experimental description of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, which were previously not experimentally determined.

The temperature dependence of Mössbauer quadrupole splitting values: a quantum chemical analysis.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Quantum Chemistry, TU Darmstadt, Peter-Grünberg-Str. 4, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany.

The two key parameters extracted from Mössbauer spectroscopy, isomer shift and quadrupole splitting, have well-known temperature dependencies. While the behavior of the values following a temperature change has long been known, its microscopic origins are less clear. For quantum chemical calculations - formally representing the situation at 0 K - significant discrepancies with the experiment can arise, especially at elevated temperatures.
