The resonant Raman spectra of the H2O⋯Cl2 and H2O⋯Br2 halogen-bonded complexes have been studied in the framework of a 2-dimensional model previously used in the simulation of their UV-visible absorption spectra using time-dependent techniques. In addition to the vibrational progression along the dihalogen mode, a progression is observed along the intermolecular mode and its combination with the intramolecular one. The relative intensity of the inter to intramolecular vibrational progressions is about 15% for H2O⋯Cl2 and 33% for H2O⋯Br2. These results make resonant Raman spectra a potential tool for detecting the presence of halogen bonded complexes in condensed phase media such as clathrates and ice.

In this work, a series of three-dimensional (3D) SERS substrate were successfully fabricated by assembling silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a porous gelatin sponge (GS) for highly sensitive thiram residues detection in vegetables. These 3D micro-nanostructures could induce the sufficient surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of noble metals on their surface and achieve high enrichment of pollutant molecules. As crystal violet (CV) was used as a probe molecule, the lowest CV solution could be detected at 10 M, and the enhancement factor (EF) was calculated to be 9.

Multi-copper oxidases (MCOs) are enzymes of significant interest in biotechnology due to their efficient catalysis of oxygen reduction to water, making them valuable in sustainable energy production and bio-electrochemical applications. This study employs time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to investigate the electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of the Type 1 (T1) copper site in Azurin, which serves as a model for similar sites in MCOs. Four model complexes of varying complexity were derived from the T1 site, including 3 three-coordinate models and 1 four-coordinate model with axial methionine ligation, to explore the impact of molecular branches and axial coordination.

This article studies the synthesis, as well as the structural, vibrational, and optical properties of Eu-doped ZnO quantum dots (QDs) and investigates the energy transfer mechanism from the ZnO host to Eu ions using Reisfeld's approximation. Eu-doped ZnO QDs at varying concentrations (0-7%) were successfully prepared using a wet chemical method. The successful doping of Eu ions into the ZnO host lattice, as well as the composition and valence states of the elements present in the sample, were confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses.

Nanotechnology is an important science that finds a wide range of applications from energy production to industrial production processes and biomedical applications. Nanoparti-cles, which are the most frequently preferred nanomaterials that form the basis of nanotechnolo-gy, are prepared with different composition, size, shape and surface chemistry to provide new techniques in applications in many different fields. The use of nanoparticles in the preparation of plasmonic sensors has increased the interest in plasmonic sensors such as surface plasmon resonance, electrochemical sensors, surface enhanced raman scattering and colorimetric sensors due to their increased sensing capacity on sensor surfaces.

Background Emerging evidence suggests mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the fatigue experienced by individuals with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), commonly called long COVID, which can be assessed using MR spectroscopy. Purpose To compare mitochondrial function between participants with fatigue-predominant PCC and healthy control participants using MR spectroscopy, and to investigate the relationship between MR spectroscopic parameters and fatigue using the 11-item Chalder fatigue questionnaire. Materials and Methods This prospective, observational, single-center study (June 2021 to January 2024) included participants with PCC who reported moderate to severe fatigue, with normal blood test and echocardiographic results, alongside control participants without fatigue symptoms.
