The 67Th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy on Behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank Delucia, Anne B Welcome to the 67th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy On behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank DeLucia, Anne B. McCoy, and myself, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all the attendees to the 67th Symposium and welcome you to The Ohio State University and Columbus. The Symposium presents research in fundamental molecular spectroscopy and a wide variety of related fields and applications. The continued vitality and significance of spectroscopy is annually re-affirmed by the number of talks, their variety, and the fact that many are given by students. These presentations are the heart of the meeting and are documented by this Abstract Book. Equally important is the information flowing from informal exchanges and discussions. As organizers, we strive to provide an environment that facilitates both kinds of interactions. The essence of the meeting lies in the scientific discussions and your personal experi- ences this week independent of the number of times that you have attended this meeting. It is our sincere hope that you will find this meeting informative and enjoyable both scientifically and personally, whether it is your first or 50th meeting. If we can help to enhance your experience, please do not hesitate to ask the Symposium staff or the Executive Committee. Terry A.

This mini-symposium will encompass areas from atomic physics to gas- phase biomolecules to liquid jets, where photodetachment and photoionization studies open the door to fundamental physical and chemical phenomena. Invited speakers include Frederic Merkt, ETH Zurich, Daniel Neumark, UC-Berkeley, and Lai- Sheng Wang, Brown University. A second mini-symposium is being organized by Gary Douberly, University of Georgia and David Anderson, University of Wyoming. This mini-symposium is designed to bring together researchers interested in studying the spectroscopy and chemistry of cold molecular systems in which quantum mechanical effects dominate. Invited talks for this mini-symposium will be given by Ken Brown, Georgia Tech; Marcel Drabbels, EPFL; Takamasa Momose, University of British Columbia and Pierre-Nicholas Roy, University of Waterloo. A third mini-symposium is being organized by Michael Duncan, University of Georgia entitled “Spectroscopy of Liquid and Cluster Interfaces.” The common properties of liquid interfaces and molecular clusters will be explored by bringing together researchers doing spectroscopy on these different systems. Invited speakers include Heather Allen, The Ohio State University, and Richard Saykally, UC-Berkeley. A session on theory is being organized by Anne McCoy, John Herbert, and Russell Pitzer, Ohio State University, featuring an invited talk by Henrik Kjaergaard, University of Copenhagen.

  • Simple Models for the Quick Estimation of Ground State Hydrogen Tunneling Splittings in Alcohols Cite This: Phys
    PCCP View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Simple models for the quick estimation of ground state hydrogen tunneling splittings in alcohols Cite this: Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2021, 23, 17591 and other compounds† Robert Medel Models for the quick estimation of energy splittings caused by coherent tunneling of hydrogen atoms are evaluated with available experimental data for alcohols and improvements are proposed. The discussed models are mathematically simple and require only results from routine quantum chemical computations, i.e. hybrid DFT calculation of the equilibrium geometry and the transition state within the harmonic approximation. A benchmark of experimental splittings spanning four orders of magnitude for 27 alcohol species is captured by three evaluated models with a mean symmetric deviation factor of 1.7, 1.5 and 1.4, respectively, i.e. the calculated values deviate on average by this factor in either direction. Limitations of the models are explored with alcohols featuring uncommon Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. properties, such as an inverted conformational energy sequence, a very light molecular frame, an elevated torsional frequency, or a coupling with a second internal degree of freedom. If the splitting of either the protiated or deuterated form of an alcohol is already experimentally determined, the one of the second isotopolog can be estimated by three additional models with a mean symmetric deviation factor of 1.14, 1.19 and 1.15, respectively. It is shown that this can be achieved with a novel approach without any quantum chemical calculation by directly correlating experimental splittings of isotopologs across related species.

  • Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater
    Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater Part 1000 INTRODUCTION 1010 INTRODUCTION 1010 A. Scope and Application of Methods The procedures described in these standards are intended for the examination of waters of a wide range of quality, including water suitable for domestic or industrial supplies, surface water, ground water, cooling or circulating water, boiler water, boiler feed water, treated and untreated municipal or industrial wastewater, and saline water. The unity of the fields of water supply, receiving water quality, and wastewater treatment and disposal is recognized by presenting methods of analysis for each constituent in a single section for all types of waters. An effort has been made to present methods that apply generally. Where alternative methods are necessary for samples of different composition, the basis for selecting the most appropriate method is presented as clearly as possible. However, samples with extreme concentrations or otherwise unusual compositions or characteristics may present difficulties that preclude the direct use of these methods. Hence, some modification of a procedure may be necessary in specific instances. Whenever a procedure is modified, the analyst should state plainly the nature of modification in the report of results. Certain procedures are intended for use with sludges and sediments. Here again, the effort has been to present methods of the widest possible application, but when chemical sludges or slurries or other samples of highly unusual composition are encountered, the methods of this manual may require modification or may be inappropriate. Most of the methods included here have been endorsed by regulatory agencies. Procedural modification without formal approval may be unacceptable to a regulatory body.

His intellectual incisiveness, warmth and breadth of knowledge guided and inspired a great many scientists throughout their careers. Robert was born in Norwich in 1923, the youngest of four children: John and Isobel were born before WWI, and Wendy and Robert afterwards. His father Ernest was a G.P. who served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during WWI while his mother Isabella, a trained nurse, looked after the Norwich practice. From primary schools in Norwich, Robert went to Oundle School in 1935. As soon as he turned seventeen, Robert volunteered for the RAF. After a frustratingly long period of training he was assigned to Coastal Command, where he became a pilot flying Catalina and then Sunderland flying boats. Following his release in January 1946, Robert came up to St. John’s to read Natural Sciences (Zoology) graduating with First Class honours whilst simultaneously being awarded a BSc at the University of London. He spent many hours bird watching on the Cambridge Sewage Farm, where he identified a breeding pair of Moustached Warblers, not seen in the UK before or since.

Boyer,2 and Christopher R. Arumainayagam1* 1 Department of Chemistry, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481 2 Department of Physics, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610 Abstract We report the identification of methoxymethanol (CH3OCH2OH) as a photochemistry product of condensed methanol (CH3OH) based on temperature-programmed desorption studies conducted following photon irradiation at energies below the ionization threshold (9.8 eV) of condensed methanol. The first detection of methoxymethanol in the interstellar medium was reported in 2017 based on data from Bands 6 and 7 from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The cosmic synthesis of “complex” organic molecules such as methyl formate (HCOOCH3), dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3), acetic acid (CH3COOH), ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH), and glycolaldehyde (HOCH2CHO) has been attributed to UV photolysis of condensed methanol found in interstellar ices. Experiments conducted in 1995 demonstrated that electron-induced radiolysis of methanol cosmic ice analogues yields methoxymethanol. In three recent publications (2016, 2017, and 2018), methoxymethanol was considered as a potential tracer for reactions induced by secondary electrons resulting from the interaction of cosmic rays with interstellar ices. However, the results presented in this study suggest that methoxymethanol can be formed from both radiation chemistry and photochemistry of condensed methanol.
