Published: February 2025

Applying a novel and universal action spectroscopic technique, called leak-out spectroscopy, this paper revisits the proton shuttle motion of the symmetric linear molecule He-H-He. For this, a 4 K cryogenic ion trap apparatus has been combined with a high-resolution quantum cascade laser operating around 1300 cm. Seven rovibrational lines of this fundamental three-nucleus-four-electron system are recorded, demonstrating the suitability of the leak-out method for such fundamental hydrogen-helium cations.

Article Synopsis
  • The molecular ion HCCCH was studied using a cryogenic ion trap and leak-out spectroscopy at very low temperatures (4 K).
  • For the first time, high-resolution measurements were obtained for the fundamental ν band (antisymmetric H-C-H stretch) and the combination band ν + ν (C≡C stretch and CH rock).
  • This research, supported by advanced quantum chemical calculations, significantly improved the accuracy of the rotational constant for HCCCH by seventy times compared to previous studies.

Infrared messenger-tagging predissociation action spectroscopy (IRPD) is a well-established technique to record vibrational spectra of reactive molecular ions. One of its major drawbacks is that the spectrum of the messenger-ion complex is taken instead of that of the bare ion. In particular for small open-shell species, such as the Renner-Teller (RT) affected HCCH and DCCD, the attachment of the tag may have a significant impact on the spectral features.

Microvascular imaging is required to understand tumor angiogenesis development; however, an appropriate whole-body imaging method has not yet been established. Here, we successfully developed a supramolecular magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent for long-term whole-tissue observation in a single individual. Fluorescein- and Gd-chelate-conjugated polyethylene glycols (PEGs) were synthesized, and their structures were optimized.

High-resolution ro-vibrational and rotational spectroscopy of HCO.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

July 2023

I. Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Zülpicher Str. 77, 50937 Köln, Germany.

The ro-vibrational and pure rotational spectra of the linear ion HCO have been investigated in a 4 K cryogenic ion trap instrument. For this, a novel action spectroscopic technique, called leak-out-spectroscopy (LOS, Schmid , 2022, , 8111), has been utilized and characterized. In total, 45 ro-vibrational transitions within the fundamental band of the C-H stretching mode were measured with a band center at 3237.
