Rotationally Resolved Studies of the Exciton Coupled S1/S2 Origin Regions of Diphenylmethane and the d12 Isotopologue

December 9, 2008
Author(s)
David F. Plusquellic, Kevin O. Douglass, Jaime Stearns, Nathan Pillsbury, Timothy Zwier, Christian Muller
Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d^12 have been obtained in S 0, Sd1 and S2 electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S0 and S1

THz Investigations of Condensed Phase Biomolecular Systems

October 8, 2008
Author(s)
Kevin O. Douglass, Hailiang Zhang, Susan K. Gregurick, Karen M. Siegrist, David F. Plusquellic
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopic investigations of crystalline dipeptide nanotubes are discussed in the frequency region from 0.6 THz (2 cm-1) to 3 THz (100 cm-1). The THz region provides access to collective modes of biomolecular systems and is therefore

Terahertz Spectroscopy of Biomolecules

December 22, 2007
Author(s)
David F. Plusquellic, Edwin J. Heilweil
Far-infrared (Terahertz or THz) spectroscopic investigations of condensed-phase biological and model organic species including substituted benzenes, amino acids, sugars, polypeptides, small proteins and DNA/RNA are reviewed. These studies reveal that for

The Microwave Spectrum of a Two-Top Peptide Mimetic: The N-Acetyl Alanine Methyl Ester Molecule

September 14, 2006
Author(s)
I Kleiner, J Demaison, David F. Plusquellic, R D. Suenram, R J. Lavrich, Francis J. Lovas, Gerald T. Fraser, Vadim V. Ilyushin
Rotational spectra of the ground torsional state of the N-acetyl alanine methyl ester molecule, a derivative of the alanine dipeptide biomimetic molecule, have been measured using a mini Fourier transform spectrometer between 10 and 20 GHz as part of a

Microwave Spectrum of the Heterodimers: CH 3 OH-CO 2 and CH 3 OH-H 2 CO

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Vadim V. Ilyushin, Francis J. Lovas, David F. Plusquellic
Molecular complexes, dimers and heterodimers, often show interesting structures, large amplitude internal motions and orientations for reaction coordinates. These properties were the motivations for the current study of the rotational spectra of the

Microwave Spectrum and Structure of Methyl Phosphonic Difluoride

January 2, 2006
Author(s)
R D. Suenram, Francis J. Lovas, David F. Plusquellic, M W. Elizy, J M. Lochner, J O. Jensen, A C. Samuels
The rotational spectrum of methyl phosphonic difluoride has been reinvestigated using a pulsed-molecular-beam Fabry-Perot cavity microwave spectrometer. The enhanced resolution of the Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectrometer (compared to the

Interstellar Isomers: The Importance of Bonding Energy Differences

October 10, 2005
Author(s)
A J. Remijan, J M. Hollis, Francis J. Lovas, David F. Plusquellic, P R. Jewell
We present new observations of large cyanide molecules and their corresponding isocyanide isomers toward the Sgr B2(N)molecular cloud. We report the first detection of the JK=10-00 transition of methyl isocyanide (CH3NC) with the 100-m Green Bank Telescope

Submillimeter and THz Detection of Chemical-Warfare Agents in Air

December 31, 2004
Author(s)
Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, R J. Lavrich, T M. Korter, Gerald T. Fraser, David F. Plusquellic, A C. Samuels
Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations were performed to assess the potential for using continuous-wave submillimeter and THz (far-infrared) linear-absorption spectroscopies to detect chemical-warfare agents in air at ambient temperatures
