Metal ion binding by a bicyclic diamide: Deep UV Raman spectroscopic characterization
Deep UV resonance Raman spectroscopy was used for characterizing ligand-metal ion complexes. The obtained results demonstrated a strong intrinsic sensitivity and selectivity of a Raman spectroscopic signature of a bicyclic diamide, a novel chelating agent for lanthanides and actinides (Lumetta, G. J.; Rapko, B. M.; Garza, P. A.; Hay, B. P.; Gilbertson, R. D.; Weakley, T. J. R.; Hutchison, J. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 5644). Molecular modeling, which included structure optimization and calculation of Raman frequencies and resonance intensities, allowed for assigning all strong Raman bands of the bicyclic diamide as well as predicting the band shifts observed because of complex formation with metal ions. A comparative analysis of Raman spectra and the results of the molecular modeling could be used for elucidating the structure of complexes in solution.
