Vibrational spectra of vapor-phase 1,2-ethanedithiol and 2-mercaptoethanol were recorded to investigate weak intramolecular interactions. The spectra were recorded with conventional absorption spectroscopy and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy in the 2000-11 000 cm(-1) region. The room temperature spectra of each molecule are complicated by contributions from several conformers. Anharmonic oscillator local-mode calculations of the OH- and SH-stretching transitions have been performed to facilitate assignment of the different conformers in the spectra. We observe evidence of hydrogen-bond-like interactions from OH to S, but not from SFI to O or S. The OH to S intramolecular interaction in 2-mercaptoethanol is weak and comparable to that found in the OH to O interaction in ethylene glycol.

Spectroscopy of Retinoic Acid at the Air-Water Interface

Veronica Vaida, Benjamin N. Frandse

Summary: In this study, the spectroscopy of ATRA at the air-water interface is investigated using UV-Vis and IR reflection spectroscopy. The results show that ATRA forms aggregates and exhibits a significant redshift in its spectra. Pure ATRA monolayers are unstable, while mixtures stabilize the monolayers and inhibit the loss of surface ATRA. ATRA may play an important role as a photosensitizer in natural aqueous environments.

Microbially influenced tungsten mobilization and formation of secondary minerals in wolframite tailings

Zhengdong Han, Alan Levett, Mansour Edraki, Michael W. M. Jones, Daryl Howard, Gordon Southam

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the biogeochemical influences on tungsten mobilization in wolframite tailings through a high-resolution depth profile analysis. It was found that several indigenous bacteria associated with iron and sulfur were highly correlated with tungsten, arsenic, and rare earth elements in the tailings. The weathering of wolframite was accelerated by the biooxidation of metal sulfides, which resulted in the mobilization of tungsten species. The study also highlighted the potential economic value of reprocessing tungsten waste for valuable metal recovery.

Reaction of Atmospherically Relevant Sulfur-Centered Radicals with RO2 and HO2

Jing Chen, Joseph R. Lane, Henrik G. Kjaergaard

Summary: The atmospheric oxidation of dimethyl sulfide and other emitted sulfur species can lead to the formation of different sulfur-centered radicals. We performed computational investigations on the reactions of these radicals with peroxy radicals. The results show that certain sulfur-centered radicals form short-lived peroxide intermediates, while others form stable peroxide products. The valence of the sulfur atom plays a crucial role in determining the reaction outcome.

Oxygen Effect on the Ultraviolet-C Photochemistry of Lactic Acid

Alexandra M. Deal, Veronica Vaida

Summary: In this study, the gas phase photolysis of lactic acid was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy and isotopically labeled oxygen (O-18(2)). The major products of lactic acid photolysis were found to be CO2, CO, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid. The role of oxygen in the photolysis mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results. Furthermore, the photoactivity of lactic acid during UVC sterilization procedures was evaluated.

Cryogenic Absorption and Emission Spectroscopy of the Oxyluciferin Anion In Vacuo

Jeppe Langeland, Nanna Falk Christensen, Emil Vogt, Christina Kjaer, Thomas Toft Lindkvist, Steen Brondsted Nielsen, Henrik G. Kjaergaard

Summary: This paper investigates the bioluminescence of fireflies, click beetles, and railroadworms, specifically focusing on the role of oxyluciferin in color variation. Experimental and theoretical study of the absorption and emission spectra of 5,5-dimethyl-oxyluciferin anion (keto form) at different temperatures is presented, along with fluorescence-based lifetime measurements. The results reveal the involvement of various vibrational modes in Franck-Condon progressions, with reduced spectral congestion at lower temperatures.

Accelerating bioleaching of tungsten mining wastes using indigenous acidophilic bacteria

Zhengdong Han, Alan Levett, Mansour Edraki, Michael W. M. Jones, Daryl Howard, Gordon Southam

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of using biogeochemical reprocessing for the decontamination of tungsten tailings and the recovery of valuable metals. It was found that while early-stage dissolution of tungsten minerals can occur, the formation of secondary tungsten minerals limits tungsten dissolution.

Quantum Chemical Investigation of the Cold Water Dimer Spectrum in the First OH-Stretching Overtone Region Provides a New Interpretation

Emil Vogt, Iren Simko, Attila G. Csaszar, Henrik G. Kjaergaard

Summary: This study calculated the intramolecular vibrational transition wavenumbers and intensities in different vibrational regions of the water dimer's spectrum, and computed the rotational-vibrational spectrum in the Delta v(OH) = 2 region. The calculated spectrum was obtained by combining results from a full-dimensional vibrational model and a reduced-dimensional vibrational-rotational-tunneling model. The Delta v(OH) = 2 spectral region is characterized by multiple vibrational-rotational-tunneling sub-bands, which contribute to the rich features in the spectrum.

Atmospheric Oxidation of Hydroperoxy Amides

Eva Kjaergaard, Kristian Moller, Henrik Kjaergaard

Summary: This study uses advanced theoretical methods to investigate the oxidation pathways and reaction rates of hydroperoxy amides in the atmosphere, and identifies the oxidation products of hydroperoxy amides under specific conditions. The results indicate that hydroperoxy amides predominantly form imides and have slow reaction rates due to structural constraints.

Highly Efficient Autoxidation of Triethylamine

Eva R. Kjaergaard, Kristian H. Moller, Torsten Berndt, Henrik G. Kjaergaard

Summary: Autoxidation is an important oxidation pathway in the atmosphere for various compounds, including isoprene and monoterpenes. This study reveals that autoxidation also plays a dominant role in the oxidation of nonhydrocarbons like dimethyl sulfide and trimethylamine. The research focuses on the autoxidation of triethylamine and provides theoretical calculations and experimental evidence to support the efficient autoxidation in this compound.

Summary: Through experiments, we found a new ROOR substance in the reaction of RO2 center dot and HO2 center dot, which has a gas-phase branching fraction of 23%. We also observed that the ratio of the rate coefficient for the reaction of RO2 center dot + RO2 center dot to that of RO2 center dot + HO2 center dot is approximately 0.22.

Cryogenic fluorescence spectroscopy of oxazine ions isolated in vacuo

Christina Kjaer, Emil Vogt, Jeppe Langeland, Nanna Falk Christensen, Thomas Toft Lindkvist, Henrik G. Kjaergaard, Steen Brondsted Nielsen

Summary: Recent developments in fluorescence spectroscopy allow for the measurement of absorption and dispersed fluorescence spectra of isolated molecular ions at low temperatures. Lower temperatures provide narrower spectra and better information on vibronic features. Experiments were conducted on oxazine dyes cooled to around 100 K, and the results showed small Stokes shifts and broader spectra for the darrow-red cations compared to other ionic dyes.
