In the 150 years of history of this subject, one can distinguish six peculiarly definitive periods or moments, spaced roughly 30 years apart. The first was the period around 1820, when Biot discovered optical activity, and Herschel noticed its relation to crystal morphology in quartz. The second was the period of 1850, when Pasteur, by his observations on the morphology of crystalline tartrates in relation to their optical activity in solution, narrowed the cause to one of chirality (handedness) in molecules. The third was the year 1874, when both van’t Hoff and Le Bel advanced the first specific model of molecular chirality, that of structures built from a tetrahedral carbon atom, the model that applies throughout organic chemistry, though other forms of chirality in octahedral inorganic complexes, and in helical secondary structures have since been recognized. Thus was the question of the physics of the light-matter interaction that leads in chiral matter to optical activity asked in the last century: it has been answered in this one. The fourth period was that around 1900, when Drude showed that the dispersion of rotation, like that of refraction, obeyed frequency terms, each with its own resonance denominator, leading in simplest principle to an infinity, and in practice, as we know, to an absorption band. So he forged the first link with spectroscopy, at a time when the electron itself was only in the process of being discovered, when there was no electronic theory of the atom, and no quantum theory, and when nobody had the least idea as to what an absorption band is in molecular terms.

<div><div>Scattering-mode Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (sSNOM) allows one to obtain absorption spectra in the mid-IR region for samples as small as 20 nm in size. This configuration has made it possible to measure FTIR spectra of the protein complement of membranes. (Amenabar 2013) We now show that mid-IR sSNOM has the sensitivity required to measure spectra of phospholipids in individual bilayers in the spectral range 800 cm<sup>-1</sup>–1400 cm<sup>-1</sup>. We have observed the main absorption bands of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine headgroups in this spectral region above noise level. We have also mapped the phosphate absorption band at 1070 cm<sup>-1</sup> simultaneously with the AFM topography. We have shown that we could achieve sufficient contrast to discriminate between single and multiple phospholipid bilayers and other structures, such as liposomes. This work opens the way to further research that uses nano-IR spectroscopy to describe the biochemistry of cell membranes and model systems.</div></div><div></div>

A method for the synthesis of reactive oligomeric silsesquioxanes, combining fragments of azo dye 4-(phenylazo)phenol and fluorescent dye Rhodamine B in various proportions in an organic shell was developed. These compounds were obtained by the reaction between the oligosilsesquioxane nanoparticles consisting of a mixture of linear, branched, ladder and polyhedral structures with epoxy groups in an organic frame (OSS–Ep) and the dyes. The structure of the synthesized substances was characterized by the methods of IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectra of OSS–Pp–Rh in DMF solution contain absorption bands characteristic of both acidic (560 and 350 nm) and lactone (in the range of 318–326 nm) forms of Rhodamine B. The absorption band of 4-(phenylazo) phenol fragments corresponding to π−π* transition is observed at 348 nm and overlaps the absorption band of Rhodamine B at 350 nm.The intensity of the absorption bands of fragments of various dyes depends on their content in organic frame of the silsesquioxane core. The intensity of the absorption bands at 348 nm and at 560 nm increases with an increase in the content of 4-(phenylazo)phenol and Rhodamine B correspondingly.It should be noted that when using DMF as a solvent the absorption band corresponding to acidic form of Rhodamine B at 560 nm in the UV-Vis spectra of the compounds obtained is more intense than similar band in the spectrum of the original Rhodamine B. Therefore, the attachment of Rhodamine B to the silsesquioxane core of oligomeric silsesquioxanes mixture does not have a significant effect on the position of absorption maxima in the UV-spectrum and prevents dye’s fragments from converting to the colorless lactone form. In the fluorescence spectra of OSS–Pp–Rh obtained using DMF as a solvent a peak at λ max = 592 nm (λex= 520 nm) is observed. The position of the fluorescence peak and its intensity in the spectra at the same optical density of the medium practically do not depend on the ratio of fragments of 4-(phenylazo)phenol and Rhodamine B in organic frame of OSS–Pp–Rh.  The combination of two different chromophores in organic shell of the silsesquioxane core broadens the range of absorbed light and the change of their ratio allows to adjust the absorption intensity in a certain area. The presence of hydroxyl groups makes it possible to introduce the obtained compounds into the composition of polymeric organic-inorganic nanocomposites by covalent bonding.

The isotopic content of natural silicon (28Si (92.23 %), 29Si (4.68 %) и 30Si (3.09 %)) affects noticeably the shape of IR absorption bands related to the oxygen impurity atoms. In the present work an attempt is undertaken to determine the positions of local vibrational modes (LVMs), related to quasimolecules 28Si16OS29Si and 28Si16OS30Si (OS – substitutional oxygen atom), for the absorption spectra measured at room temperature. An estimation of the isotopic shifts of corresponding modes is done by fitting the shape of the experimentally measured absorption band related to the vacancy–oxygen center in irradiated Si crystals. The LVM isotope shifts are found to be equal 2,2 ± 0.25 cm–1 for 28Si-16OS29Si and 4,3 ± 0,9 см–1 for 28Si-16OS30Si in relation to the basic band due to 28Si-16OS28Si, and the full width at half maximum of the A-center absorption band (28Si-16OS28Si) is 5,3 ± 0.25 cm–1. By means of infrared absorption spectroscopy a clear correlation between the disappearance of the divacancy (V2) in the temperature range 200–275 ºС and appearance of two absorption bands with their maxima at 825.8 and 839.2 cm–1 in irradiated oxygen-rich Si crystals is found. The band positioned at 825.8 cm–1 is assigned to a divacancy-oxygen defect V2O formed via an interaction of mobile V2 with interstitial oxygen (Oi ) atoms. The 839.2 cm–1 band is much more pronounced in neutron irradiated samples as compared to samples irradiated with electrons. We argue that it is related to a trivacancy–oxygen defect (V3O) formed via an interaction of mobile V3 with Oi atoms.

Electronic absorption spectra of gaseous chlorine and their saturated solutions in molten alkali chlorides were studied in wide ranges of temperature and wavelength. It was found that gaseous chlorine has a wide absorption band between 20 000 and 43 500 cm−1. There is a tendency to both widening of the band and shifting of the absorption maximum to the short-waves region with rising temperature.The absorption bands of saturated solutions of chlorine in all molten alkali chlorides show a maximum in the neighborhood of 30 000 cm−1. A good correlation was found between the optical density of molten salt-Cl2 systems and the solubility of chlorine.

Radicals formed by γ-irradiation of propylene carbonate (PC) glasses at 77 °K were studied by e.s.r. and optical spectroscopy. Trapped electrons were identified by their narrow (ΔHms = 4.5 G) Gaussian e.s.r. line at g = 2.0028 which was completely resolved from the radical spectrum. The trapped electrons were unstable at 77 °K. They decayed fairly rapidly via a process exhibiting non-homogeneous kinetics believed to be reaction with positive ions. The temperature dependence of the e.s.r. spectra of the other radicals formed is discussed although conclusive assignment of the lines could not be made.Ultraviolet photolysis of the radicals in the irradiated PC glasses produced new species identified as HCO, CO3−, and CH3 by their characteristic e.s.r. spectra. In addition, a complex optical absorption band in the 500–750 nm region was assigned to a combination of the absorption bands of the CO3− radical anion and the HCO radical.

In situ DRIFTS was employed to investigate the reaction of hydrogen with supported subnanometer Pt-ReOx species that are active in the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids. Absorption bands of platinum hydrides in the region of 2025–2043 cm–1 were detected; high reactivity of the hydrides toward the adsorbed acetic acid was revealed. In the process, the absorption band of platinum hydride shifted to high frequencies and increased in intensity due to the influence of adjacent acetates on the electronic state of platinum. It was found that in a hydrogen medium the intensity of platinum hydride bands sharply increases after the adsorption of acetic acid and then gradually decreases owing to the reaction of the hydrides with surface acetates.

The time for the appearance of the cytochrome C absorption band after shaking a suspension of bakers' yeast with various O2-N2 mixtures was determined at each of six temperatures. At each temperature a linear relation between this interval—called the reduction time—and O2 tension was found. It was shown: 1. That under our experimental conditions, absorption bands of cytochrome were seen when the O2 tension of the suspension was reduced to, or below, a certain pressure which was found to be specific for each temperature (this pressure is provisionally considered to be identical with or very near to the "critical O2 tension" usually found in QOO2-O2-tension relationships); 2. That the x-axis intercept obtained from the reduction time - O2-tension plot gives the value of the "critical" O2 pressure at each temperature; 3. That the O2 tension within the suspension is reduced by the respiratory activity of the yeast cells. An equation describing these observations is given and is used in calculating rates of O2 consumption from measurements of reduction time of cytochrome. The average difference between the calculated values and the manometric measurements of QOO2 was found to be 6.6 per cent. A rapid optical method of measuring rates of O2 consumption based on the findings of these experiments is proposed for use with cytochrome-containing microorganisms.

Out of solution artificial PbCrO4-single-crystals, monoclin modification, equal to natural Crocoit have been produced. The optical constants for natural and these artificial crystals have been found to be equal by measurements of reflectivity and transmission with unpolarised light in the range 0.3 — 15 µm perpendicular to the (110) -plain. Between 1 and 8 µm the refractive index is constant (n = 2,1). In this region some absorption bands occur (2.8 µm corresponding to the donator activation energy of 0.44 eV and 6 μm). At 0.45 µm there is another absorption band but no absorption edge, which was expected with respect to the photoconductivity. Above 8 µm the optical constants are determined by the reststrahlen band at 11.3 μm. The absorption of free charge carriers is discussed because leadchromate in the literature is known to be a purely electronical conductor. An influence of the free charge carriers in the tested spectral range could not be recognized. From this fact it is possible to give some estimations about the conductivity mechanism respectively the mobility of the free electrons.
