IR Spectrum Peak Broadening: Hydrogen Bonding

1.6K
The vibrational frequency of a bond is directly proportional to its bond strength. As a result, stronger bonds vibrate at higher frequencies, while weaker bonds vibrate at lower frequencies. The stretching vibration of the strong O–H bond in alcohols and phenols (very dilute solution or gas phase) appears as a sharp peak at 3600–3650 cm−1.
However, the extent of hydrogen bonding influences the observed stretching frequency and band broadening. Intermolecular or intramolecular...

Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview

4.1K
Ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible or UV–Vis) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that investigates the interaction between matter and UV–Vis light within the electromagnetic spectrum. This method is widely used for its versatility, simplicity, and relatively quick data acquisition, making it valuable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. When UV–Vis radiation passes through a material,  molecules absorb light depending on the energy required for...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Molecular Electronic Transitions

2.5K
In Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, the absorption of electromagnetic radiation is used to probe the electronic structure of molecules. This technique provides insights into molecular electronic transitions, particularly the movement of electrons between different molecular orbitals. Radiation is absorbed if the energy of the electromagnetic radiation passing through the molecule is precisely equal to the energy difference between the excited and ground states. During this...

Hydrogen Bonds00:26

Hydrogen Bonds

129.2K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Chemistry
  • Optics

Background:

  • Deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are crucial for technologies requiring light generation below 200 nm.
  • Traditional borates have limitations, necessitating exploration of new material classes like hydroxyborates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically screen and identify "genes" for DUV NLO materials, focusing on hydroxyborates.
  • To investigate the potential of hydroxyborates for achieving deep-ultraviolet second harmonic generation (SHG).

Main Methods:

  • First-principles calculations to predict NLO properties based on crystal structure and bonding.
  • Screening of inorganic crystal structure databases for potential hydroxyborate candidates.
  • Experimental synthesis and characterization of predicted hydroxyborates (AEB8O15H4, AE = Sr, Ca).
  • Preliminary measurements of powder absorption spectra and SHG effects.

Main Results:

  • Theoretical studies indicated that aligned hydroxyborate motifs in layered structures can yield DUV NLO capability.
  • Two novel hydroxyborates, SrB8O15H4 and CaB8O15H4, were successfully synthesized.
  • Experimental results, including SHG effects, aligned well with theoretical predictions.
  • AEB8O15H4 (AE = Sr, Ca) exhibit large band gaps, strong SHG effects, and sufficient birefringence.

Conclusions:

  • This study demonstrates for the first time that hydroxyborates can achieve deep-ultraviolet second harmonic generation (DUV SHG).
  • The findings highlight hydroxyborates as a promising new system for discovering DUV NLO materials.
