Abstract: The IR-spectroscopic properties of three esters of 1-coumarinylbenzylphosphonic acid are elucidated both in solution and in solid-state. Linear-polarized IR-spectroscopy of oriented colloid suspensions in nematic host is used for experimental IR-characteristic band assignment in solid-state. Theoretical quantum chemical DFT calculations at B3LYP level of theory and 6-31++G** basis set are carried. Theoretical electronic structure and vibrational properties of compounds studied are discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Twelve new Au(III), Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes with glycyl-containing homopeptides glycyl-glycine (G2), glycyl-glycyl-glycine (G3), glycyl-glycyl-gycyl-glycine (G4), glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycine (G5) and glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycine (G6) have been synthesized, isolated and characterized spectroscopically and structurally by means of solid-state linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy of oriented colloids in nematic liquid crystal host, 1H- and 13C-NMR, TGA and DSC, UV-Vis spectroscopy, EPR, ESI- and FAB mass spectrometry and HPLC tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Quantum chemical calculations are carried out with a view to obtain the structures and spectroscopic properties of the ligand and newly synthesized metal complexes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The structure of a mononuclear Au(III) complex of the dipeptide glycyl-S-serine (Gly-Ser) has been predicted using solid-state linear dichroic IR (IR-LD) spectroscopy, based on an orientation technique in a nematic liquid crystal suspension. Results are compared with data from 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The metal ion is coordinated as a tridentate through NH2, N (from deprotonated amide) and O (COO-) groups to form [Au(C5H9N2O4)Cl], with the fourth position of the square-planar coordination sphere being completed by a Cl- ion.
