Raman spectra have been measured for a number of nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, ferrocyanides, and ferricyanides, both in the solid phase and in aqueous solution. Accurate locations of peak maxima are given. Limits of detection for some of the compounds are given for solutions and for solid mixtures in NaNO3. Preliminary measurements have been made on core material recovered from the storage tanks on the Hanford site in Richland, Washington. Representative spectra are presented, showing that it is possible to observe responses of individual components from measurements made directly on untreated cores, with the use of a fiberoptic sampling probe.

Cyclic voltammetry and laser Raman spectroscopy were applied to investigate insitu the properties and structures of metal meso-tetrakis (p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrins (MeTPPS, Me = Co, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni) adsorbed on a silver electrode in 0.05 M H2SO4 aqueous solution. The cyclic voltammograms for O2 reduction were investigated by changing the metal cations in the porphyrin ring. Among the porphyrins examined, only CoTPPS shows catalytic behavior for O2 electrochemical reduction. The Raman spectra of MeTPPS in aqueous solution are very similar to those of metal tetraphenylporphyrins (MeTPP), and the band assignments were carried out on the basis of the results for [FeTPP]2O. The Raman spectra of MeTPPS on a silver electrode were measured under a N2 or O2 atmosphere, changing the applied potentials and the metal cations in the porphyrin ring. Their spectra are very sensitive to metal cations, but not so to applied potential. Keywords: porphyrin, SERS, electrochemistry, dioxygen, silver electrode.

Abstract Raman spectra of solid H3BO3, Na2[B4O5(OH)4] · 8 H2O, K[B5O6(OH)4] · 2H2O and Na[B(OH)4] were recorded between 300 and 1500 cm-1 as well as of borax in aqueous solutions as a function of concentration and pH. Because of better solubility in water, the Raman spectrum of ammonium tetraborate in aqueous solution was also recorded as a function of pH. For comparisons the Raman spectra of solid (NH4)2[B4O5(OH)4] · 2 H2O, β-NH4[B5O6(OH)4] · 2 H2O, NH4[B5O6(OH)4] · 0,67 H2O and NH4[B5O6(OH)4] were considered. In solution, all lines in the Raman spectra could be assigned and the degree of depolarization measured. The assigned Raman frequencies can be used for the identification of unknown B-O-lines and therefore of unknown borate or polyborate structures.

Raman spectroscopy has been applied to the study of the pH-dependent decomposition of 12-molybdophosphoric acid, H3(PMo12O40), and 12-molybdosilicic acid, H4(SiMo12O40), in aqueous solution. The decomposition schemes involving several smaller polymeric molybdate species, proposed from indirect techniques such as electrochemistry, are confirmed. Identification of the species present in solution is made by comparison of the Raman spectra to the spectra of known species, except in the case of (PMo11O39)7-, for which the spectrum is reported for the first time.

Abstract Failure analysis of organics at the microscopic scale is an increasingly important requirement, with traditional analytical tools such as FTIR and Raman microscopy, having significant limitations in either spatial resolution or data quality. We introduce here a new method of obtaining Infrared microspectroscopic information, at the submicron level in reflection (far-field) mode, called Optical-Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, that can also generate simultaneous Raman spectra, from the same spot, at the same time and with the same spatial resolution. This novel combination of these two correlative techniques can be considered to be complimentary and confirmatory, in which the IR confirms the Raman result and vice-versa, to yield more accurate and therefore more confident organic unknowns analysis.

Background: Herbicides are very beneficial in the crop yield with the aid of controlling weeds within the agriculture, but several herbicides are chronic in soil. Objective: In this study, nanoparticles and the packages of synthesized novel silica nanoparticles were studied for the preconcentration of herbicides. Methods: These nanoparticles prepared by the Stöber mechanism were purified and functionalized. Nanoparticles thus prepared successfully were used as supporting material for the preconcentration of residues of herbicides in the water. Results: Preconcentration was achieved by preparing the silica-based solid-phase-extraction cartridges. Nanoparticles used for this purpose were within the range of 50-250 nm. An SPE cartridge was prepared by packing 200 mg of silica nanoparticle in the empty cartridge of diameter 5.5 cm and length 0.6 cm in between PTFE frits. Aqueous solutions of 0.1 μg/ml of herbicides were prepared separately, and 10 ml of the solution was passed through the cartridge at the rate of 0.2 ml/min. After passing 10 ml volume of the aqueous solution, residues adsorbed on the cartridge were eluted using 2 ml of acetonitrile. The eluate was injected to determine the herbicide residue adsorbed on the SPE cartridge. Conclusion: In the study, it was found that greater than 90% of the herbicide residues were trapped on silica nanoparticle-based SPE cartridge. An analytical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of these herbicides. The residues were quantified by LC-MS/MS with ESI mode.
