Photoelectron Imaging of Anions Illustrated by 310 Nm Detachment of F<sup>−</sup>
摘要： Anion photoelectron imaging is a very efficient method for the study of energy states of bound negative ions, neutral species and interactions of unbound electrons with neutral molecules/atoms. State-of-the-art in vacuo anion generation techniques allow application to a broad range of atomic, molecular, and cluster anion systems. These are separated and selected using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Electrons are removed by linearly polarized photons (photo detachment) using table-top laser sources which provide ready access to excitation energies from the infra-red to the near ultraviolet. Detecting the photoelectrons with a velocity mapped imaging lens and position sensitive detector means that, in principle, every photoelectron reaches the detector and the detection efficiency is uniform for all kinetic energies. Photoelectron spectra extracted from the images via mathematical reconstruction using an inverse Abel transformation reveal details of the anion internal energy state distribution and the resultant neutral energy states. At low electron kinetic energy, typical resolution is sufficient to reveal energy level differences on the order of a few millielectron-volts, i.e., different vibrational levels for molecular species or spin-orbit splitting in atoms. Photoelectron angular distributions extracted from the inverse Abel transformation represent the signatures of the bound electron orbital, allowing more detailed probing of electronic structure. The spectra and angular distributions also encode details of the interactions between the outgoing electron and the residual neutral species subsequent to excitation. The technique is illustrated by the application to an atomic anion (F?), but it can also be applied to the measurement of molecular anion spectroscopy, the study of low lying anion resonances (as an alternative to scattering experiments) and femtosecond (fs) time resolved studies of the dynamic evolution of anions.

Simple Acid Vapor Method for Production of HCl and DCl Gas for IR Spectroscopy
摘要： We report here a method that utilizes the vapor pressure of HCl(g) above a concentrated HCl(aq) solution as an extremely simple and safe method to produce small amounts of HCl vapor in an IR gas cell. This vapor pressure approach can also be used to produce DCl(g) by introducing a few drops of concentrated DCl(aq) into the gas cell.

Exploring the Gel State: Optical Determination of Gelation Times and Transport Properties of Gels with an Inexpensive 3D-Printed Spectrophotometer
摘要： The study of gels and their properties is a compelling topic both technologically and scienti?cally, and should therefore be emphasized in chemistry and material science syllabuses. In the present laboratory experiment, we propose two experiences, aimed at introducing gelation and gel transport properties using silica gels made from sodium silicate and sodium citrate bu?er. In particular, gelation times are used to teach kinetics and optical properties to ?rst and second year General Chemistry students. Gelation times are determined by measuring the increment in scattering intensity with a 3D-printed spectrophotometer. The gel transport properties are presented to further exemplify Fickian and non-Fickian behavior through ionic dyes di?using in gels. A qualitative description is obtained from charge interactions, and a quantitative description utilizing the di?usion coe?cient is achieved by analyzing absorbance pro?les. These tasks were designed to encourage students to work with unusual topics in a holistic way, approaching new materials, properties, and DIY equipment. Blueprints for the spectrophotometer, resources for instructors, and a detailed students’ guide are provided together with a short report model to promote critical discussion of the observations.

[ACS Symposium Series] Raman Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum Volume 1305 || Connecting Organic and Physical Chemistry Students with Raman Spectroscopy
摘要： The profile of Raman spectroscopy may be elevated in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum by intentionally tying together students’ experiences in the organic and physical chemistry laboratories. In this way the valuable role Raman spectroscopy can play in structure elucidation is highlighted. The Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society includes the category of optical molecular spectroscopy (e.g., IR, UV-Vis, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopies) as an option in the panel of instruments required for certification. To the authors’ knowledge there are no Raman spectroscopy experiments that build directly on the analysis of compounds synthesized by students in a prior course for the intended purpose of scaffolding the curriculum. This chapter highlights the roles Raman spectroscopy may play in the determination of molecular structure when used in conjunction with other, more common techniques. Indeed, direct comparison to infrared spectroscopy holds the potential to reinforce that technique and its applications while introducing the study of Raman spectra. A set of three reaction products from electrophilic aromatic substitution, Diels-Alder, and aldol condensation (this including site-specific deuteration) is explored. All of these reactions are currently part of the organic chemistry curriculum. By combining analyses performed in organic chemistry with new laboratories written for the physical chemistry laboratory the authors hope to impress upon undergraduates the value of Raman spectroscopy in a context that builds on their previous experiences with other molecular spectroscopy methods.

A Simple Synthetic Approach To Prepare Silver Elongated Nanostructures: From Nanorods to Nanowires
摘要： A procedure for one-pot preparation and characterization of silver 1D nanostructures is described. The main advantages of this synthetic approach are the simplicity and reproducibility, where the size of the final product can be controlled just by changing the reaction time. This experiment is designed as a laboratory introduction to colloidal chemistry for undergraduate and graduate students; they can appreciate the role of the different reagents in a relatively complex reaction and understand the relation between the morphology of a metal at the nanoscale and some macroscopic properties, such as its visible absorption spectrum (i.e., color).
