Abstract
Understanding photoinduced chemical reactions beyond the Born-Oppenheimer paradigm requires a comprehensive examination of vibronic interactions. Although femtosecond studies have unveiled the influence of vibrational modes strongly coupled to ultrafast intramolecular reactions in the excited state, they often lack direct observations of how vibrations modulate electronic properties due to the rapid disappearance of reactants. To address this gap, our research investigates the dynamics of photoexcited molecules that do not react. Specifically, we focus on the coherent librational motion of molecular transition dipole moments, discovering that the coherent libration primarily originates from symmetry-breaking components in vibronically excited vibrational modes. Symmetry breaking motion can significantly impact the excited-state dynamics of highly symmetric molecules, potentially leading to nonadiabatic transitions. In essence, the data analysis framework introduced in this study can be harnessed to uncover potential reactivity in photoexcited molecules, further enhancing our understanding of the mechanisms governing these reactions.

Abstract
Spectroscopic investigation of phthalocyanine in the gas phase has tremendously profited from molecular beam spectroscopy. Isentropic expansion succeeds in reducing the population of rovibrational states to the vibrational ground state so that only low energy rotational states remain populated. However, with respect to UV-vis spectroscopy the pioneers of molecular beam spectroscopy came to the discouraging conclusion that the information contained in the rotational structure of a large molecule is minimal, and even if the rotational structure could be resolved with great effort, the results are unlikely to be worth the difficulty [Levy, Annu. Rev. Phys. Chem., 1980, 31 197-225]. Just over 4 decades later we would like to announce that the result is worth the effort, indeed. Even without full line resolution, the rotational structure at the electronic band origin of phthalocyanine provides deep insight into configurational details of phthalocyanine for both electronic states. These details serve as gas phase compliment to the investigation of microsolvation in superfluid helium droplets. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest molecule ever analyzed by means of its rotational degrees of freedom.

Abstract
Understanding the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the residues of proteins and nucleic acids, and between drugs and proteins/nucleic acids, etc., has extraordinary relevance in biomolecular structure and function. It helps in interpreting the dynamics of complex biological systems and enzymatic activity, which is esential for new drug design and efficient drug delivery. NCIs like hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) and π-stacking have been researchers' delight for a long time. Prominent among the recently discovered NCIs are halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, tetrel, carbo-hydrogen, and spodium bonding, and n → π* interaction. These NCIs have caught the imaginations of various research groups in recent years while explaining several chemical and biological processes. At this stage, a holistic view of these new ideas and findings lying scattered can undoubtedly trigger our minds to explore more. The present review attempts to address NCIs beyond H-bonding and π-stacking, which are mainly n → σ*, n → π* and σ → σ* type interactions. Five of the seven NCIs mentioned earlier are linked to five non-inert end groups of the modern periodic table. Halogen (group-17) bonding is one of the oldest and most explored NCIs, which finds its relevance in biomolecules due to the phase correction and inhibitory properties of halogens. Chalcogen (group 16) bonding serves as a redox-active functional group of different active sites of enzymes and acts as a nucleophile in proteases and phosphates. Pnictogen (group 15), tetrel (group 14), triel (group 13) and spodium (group 12) bonding does exist in biomolecules. The n → π* interactions are linked to backbone carbonyl groups and protein side chains. Thus, they are crucial in determining the conformational stability of the secondary structures in proteins. In addition, a more recently discovered to and fro σ → σ* type interaction, namely carbo-hydrogen bonding, is also present in protein-ligand systems. This review summarizes these grand epiphanies routinely used to elucidate the structure and dynamics of biomolecules, their enzymatic activities, and their application in drug discovery. It also briefs about the future perspectives and challenges posed to the spectroscopists and theoreticians.

Abstract
Weakly-bound intermolecular clusters constitute reductionist physical models for non-covalent interactions. Here we report the observation of the monomer, the dimer and the monohydrate of 2-adamantanol, a secondary alcohol with a bulky ten-carbon aliphatic skeleton. The molecular species were generated in a supersonic jet expansion and characterized using broadband chirped-pulse microwave spectroscopy in the 2–8 GHz frequency region. Two different gauche-gauche O-H···O hydrogen-bonded isomers were observed for the dimer of 2-adamantanol, while a single isomer was observed for the monomer and the monohydrate. The experimental rotational parameters were compared with molecular orbital calculations using density functional theory (B3LYP-D3(BJ), B2PLYP-D3(BJ), CAM-B3LYP-D3(BJ), ωB97XD), additionally providing energetic and electron density characterization. The shallow potential energy surface makes the dimer an interesting case study to benchmark dispersion-corrected computational methods and conformational search procedures.

Abstract
Combined IR and UV laser spectroscopic techniques in molecular beams merged with theoretical approaches have proven to be an ideal tool to elucidate intrinsic structural properties on a molecular level. It offers the possibility to analyze structural changes, in a controlled molecular environment, when successively adding aggregation partners. By this, it further makes these techniques a valuable starting point for a bottom-up approach in understanding the forces shaping larger molecular systems. This bottom-up approach was successfully applied to neutral amino acids starting around the 1990s. Ever since, experimental and theoretical methods developed further, and investigations could be extended to larger peptide systems. Against this background, the review gives an introduction to secondary structures and experimental methods as well as a summary on theoretical approaches. Vibrational frequencies being characteristic probes of molecular structure and interactions are especially addressed. Archetypal biologically relevant secondary structures investigated by molecular beam spectroscopy are described, and the influences of specific peptide residues on conformational preferences as well as the competition between secondary structures are discussed. Important influences like microsolvation or aggregation behavior are presented. Beyond the linear α-peptides, the main results of structural analysis on cyclic systems as well as on β- and γ-peptides are summarized. Overall, this contribution addresses current aspects of molecular beam spectroscopy on peptides and related species and provides molecular level insights into manifold issues of chemical and biochemical relevance.

Abstract
In the past decade, many gas-phase spectroscopic investigations have focused on the understanding of the nature of weak interactions in model systems. Despite the fact that non-covalent interactions play a key role in several biological and technological processes, their characterization and interpretation are still far from being satisfactory. In this connection, integrated experimental and computational investigations can play an invaluable role. Indeed, a number of different issues relevant to unraveling the properties of bulk or solvated systems can be addressed from experimental investigations on molecular complexes. Focusing on the interaction of biological model systems with solvent molecules (e.g., water), since the hydration of the biomolecules controls their structure and mechanism of action, the study of the molecular properties of hydrated systems containing a limited number of water molecules (microsolvation) is the basis for understanding the solvation process and how structure and reactivity vary from gas phase to solution. Although hydrogen bonding is probably the most widespread interaction in nature, other emerging classes, such as halogen, chalcogen and pnicogen interactions, have attracted much attention because of the role they play in different fields. Their understanding requires, first of all, the characterization of the directionality, strength, and nature of such interactions as well as a comprehensive analysis of their competition with other non-covalent bonds. In this review, it is shown how state-of-the-art quantum-chemical computations combined with rotational spectroscopy allow for fully characterizing intermolecular interactions taking place in molecular complexes from both structural and energetic points of view. The transition from bi-molecular complex to microsolvation and then to condensed phase is shortly addressed.

Abstract
![]()
Gas-phase, double
resonance IR spectroscopy has proven to be an
excellent approach to obtain structural information on peptides ranging
from single amino acids to large peptides and peptide clusters. In
this review, we discuss the state-of-the-art of infrared action spectroscopy
of peptides in the far-IR and THz regime. An introduction to the field
of far-IR spectroscopy is given, thereby highlighting the opportunities
that are provided for gas-phase research on neutral peptides. Current
experimental methods, including spectroscopic schemes, have been reviewed.
Structural information from the experimental far-IR spectra can be
obtained with the help of suitable theoretical approaches such as
dynamical DFT techniques and the recently developed Graph Theory.
The aim of this review is to underline how the synergy between far-IR
spectroscopy and theory can provide an unprecedented picture of the
structure of neutral biomolecules in the gas phase. The far-IR signatures
of the discussed studies are summarized in a far-IR map, in order
to gain insight into the origin of the far-IR localized and delocalized
motions present in peptides and where they can be found in the electromagnetic
spectrum.

Abstract
We investigate the photodissociation of helium-solvated cesium dimer cations using action spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The spectrum of Cs2He+ shows three distinct absorption bands into both bound and dissociative states. Upon solvation with further helium atoms, considerable shifts of the absorption bands are observed, exceeding 0.1 eV (850 cm-1) already for Cs2He10+, along with significant broadening. The shifts are highly sensitive to the character of the excited state. Our calculations show that helium atoms adsorb on the ends of Cs2+. The shifts are particularly pronounced if the excited state orbitals extend to the area occupied by the helium atoms. In this case, Pauli repulsion leads to a deformation of the excited state orbitals, resulting in the observed blue shift of the transition. Since the position of the weakly bound helium atoms is ill defined, Pauli repulsion also explains the broadening.

Rodrigues NDN, Staniforth M, Stavros VG. Photophysics of sunscreen molecules in the gas phase: a stepwise approach towards understanding and developing next-generation sunscreens. Proc Math Phys Eng Sci 2016; 472:20160677. [PMID: 27956888 PMCID: PMC5134319 DOI: 10.1098/rspa.2016.0677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2016] [Accepted: 10/24/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The relationship between exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and skin cancer urges the need for extra photoprotection, which is presently provided by widespread commercially available sunscreen lotions. Apart from having a large absorption cross section in the UVA and UVB regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the chemical absorbers in these photoprotective products should also be able to dissipate the excess energy in a safe way, i.e. without releasing photoproducts or inducing any further, harmful, photochemistry. While sunscreens are tested for both their photoprotective capability and dermatological compatibility, phenomena occurring at the molecular level upon absorption of UV radiation are largely overlooked. To date, there is only a limited amount of information regarding the photochemistry and photophysics of these sunscreen molecules. However, a thorough understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms by which popular sunscreen molecular constituents dissipate excess energy has the potential to aid in the design of more efficient, safer sunscreens. In this review, we explore the potential of using gas-phase frequency- and time-resolved spectroscopies in an effort to better understand the photoinduced excited-state dynamics, or photodynamics, of sunscreen molecules. Complementary computational studies are also briefly discussed. Finally, the future outlook of expanding these gas-phase studies into the solution phase is considered.

Abstract
IR spectroscopy of nucleobases in the gas phase reflects simultaneous advances in both experimental and computational techniques. Important properties, such as excited state dynamics, depend in subtle ways on structure variations, which can be followed by their infrared signatures. Isomer specific spectroscopy is a particularly powerful tool for studying the effects of nucleobase tautomeric form and base pair hydrogen-bonding patterns.

Abstract
We investigate the vibrational predissociation dynamics of the hydrogen-bonded 3-aminophenol-ammonia cluster (3-AP-NH3) in the OH and NH stretching regions. Vibrational excitation provides enough energy to dissociate the cluster into its constituent 3-AP and NH3 monomers, and we detect the 3-AP fragments via (1 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI). The distribution of vibrational states of the 3-AP fragment suggests the presence of two distinct dissociation pathways. The first dissociation channel produces a broad, unstructured feature in the REMPI-action spectrum after excitation of any of the OH or NH stretching vibrations, pointing to a nearly statistical dissociation pathway with extensive coupling among the vibrations in the cluster during the vibrational predissociation. The second dissociation channel produces distinct, resolved features on top of the broad feature but only following excitation of the OH or symmetric NH3 stretch in the cluster. This striking mode-specificity is consistent with strong coupling of these two modes to the dissociation coordinate (the O-H⋯N bond). The presence of clearly resolved transitions to the electronic origin and to the 10a(2) + 10b(2) state of the cis-3-AP isomer shows that vibrational excitation is driving the isomerization of the trans-3-AP-NH3 isomer to the cis-3-AP-NH3 isomer in the course of the dissociation.

Abstract
Linear alkanes CnH2n+2 in vacuum isolation are finite models for an infinite polyethylene chain. Using spontaneous Raman scattering in supersonic jet expansions for n = 13-21 in different spectral ranges, we determine the minimal chain length nh for the cohesion-driven folding of the preferred extended all-trans conformation into a hairpin structure. We treat fully stretched all-trans alkanes as molecular "nanorods" and derive Young's modulus E for the stretching of an isolated single-strand polyethylene fibre by extrapolating the longitudinal acoustic mode to infinite chain length. Two key quality parameters for accurate intra- and intermolecular force fields of hydrocarbons (nh = 18 ± 1, E = 305 ± 5 GPa) are thus derived with high accuracy from experimental spectroscopy.

Abstract
We predict that a large class of helium-containing cold polar molecules form readily in a cryogenic buffer gas, achieving densities as high as 10(12) cm(-3). We explore the spin relaxation of these molecules in buffer-gas-loaded magnetic traps and identify a loss mechanism based on Landau-Zener transitions arising from the anisotropic hyperfine interaction. Our results show that the recently observed strong T(-6) thermal dependence of the spin-change rate of silver (Ag) trapped in dense (3)He is accounted for by the formation and spin change of Ag(3)He van der Waals molecules, thus providing indirect evidence for molecular formation in a buffer-gas trap.
