Studying the length of trans conformational sequences in polyethylene using Raman spectroscopy: a computational study

The long standing question of how long a trans sequence in a polyethylene needs to be in order to contribute to the all-trans Raman bands at 1060 and 1130 cm⁻¹ is addressed. Various hexadecane, C₁₆H₃₄, conformers were studied using ab initio type calculations revealing vibrational frequencies and intensities. We found that only trans sequences longer than 10 trans bonds reveal Raman intensity primarily selectively at the same frequencies as the C-C stretching modes arising from crystalline polyethylene. Since it is statistically highly unlikely that such long trans sequences occur in the amorphous phase, intensity arising from all-trans sequences not belonging to crystalline structure may only be expected as a consequence of strong non-equilibrium conditions (e.g. shear), or the presence of tie-molecules.

Structure of carbon nanotubes probed by local and global probes

A review is proposed of different techniques available today for the characterization of the atomic structure of carbon nanotubes. This review covers the electron microscopies, various diffraction techniques, scanning probe microscopies, and optical spectroscopies, including Raman scattering. The advantages and limitations of the characterization techniques are discussed.     

Vanadium species in new catalysts for the selective oxidation of methane to formaldehyde: Activation of the catalytic sites

New vanadium oxide supported on mesoporous silica catalysts for the oxidation of methane to formaldehyde were investigated by infrared and Raman spectroscopies to identify and characterize the molecular structure of the most active and selective catalytic sites. In situ and operando experiments have been conducted in order to understand the redox and hydroxylation/dehydroxylation processes of the vanadium species. (SiO)₂VO(OH) species were identified in these catalysts in reaction conditions and shown to undergo a deprotonation at 580 °C under vacuum, leading to a site giving a photoluminescence band at 550 nm attributed to reverse radiative decay from the excited triplet state:

(V⁴⁺–O⁻)^*  (V⁵⁺O²⁻). An activation mechanism of vanadium monomeric species with electrophilic oxygen species is proposed.

Microplastic and other anthropogenic microparticles in water and sediments of Lake Simcoe

Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) have been reported in ecosystems worldwide and have been shown to cause adverse negative impacts on organisms. This study provides the first report of microplastics and other anthropogenic microparticles in the surface waters and sediments of Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada, a popular recreational and fishing lake. Surface waters (low volume grabs and manta trawls) and sediments were sampled from eight sites to determine microparticle abundances and character (size, morphology, material identity). Concentrations ranged from 0 to 0.7 particles/L in surface water grab samples, 0.4–1.3 particles/m³ in manta trawl samples, and 8.3–1070 particles/kg in sediment samples. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed that 72% of particles were anthropogenic, with 64% unambiguously identified as microplastics. However, confirmed microplastic concentrations were approximately 6–7 times lower than unadjusted counts in sediments, demonstrating the importance of verifying and adjusting reported values. Fibers were only quantified and characterized in surface water grab samples and sediments, and were the most common morphology, accounting for 82% and 89% of anthropogenic particles, respectively. Fragments were most common in manta trawl samples (75%, excluding fibers) and consisted predominantly of polyethylene (41%) and polypropylene (22%). The influence of proximity to urban centers and prevailing winds on the distribution of microplastics was apparent in surface water manta trawls. Microplastics and other anthropogenic microparticles are present in Lake Simcoe but at lower abundances than at locations impacted by larger population centers in other large freshwater lakes such as Lakes Ontario and Erie of the Great Lakes.     

The adsorption characteristics of two Mo sites on a sulfided MoO3/γ-Al2O3 surface

The surface structure of the oxidized and ammonia dissolved MoO₃/-Al₂O₃ samples and the adsorption characteristics of the sulfided samples were investigated by Laser Raman Spectroscopy (LRS) and Low Temperature Infrared Spectroscopy (LTIR) techniques.It was verified that there were two kinds of coordinated unsaturated Mo sites (denoted as Mo_A(CUS) and Mo_B(CUS)) on the surface and the precursors of Mo_A(CUS) and Mo_B(CUS) were Mo(O) and Mo(T), respectively. It was also concluded that Mo_A(CUS) sites could adsorb NO and CO, while Mo_B(CUS) could adsorb CO only. The surface concentration of Mo_A(CUS) might be far smaller than that of Mo_B(CUS).
