AbstractTitan, the largest satellite of the planet Saturn, has a thick atmosphere which consists of nitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4). In 2004, the Cassini-Huygens mission observed the occultation of two stars through the atmosphere of Titan and measured ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra. Through these spectra it was possible to identify the molecular species contained in this environment. In the present work, we have simulated a spectrum of this atmosphere using some molecules such as CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C4H2, and C6H6. Our cross sections data were experimentally obtained using the electron energy-loss technique, where the electron energy-loss spectra, measured high incident energies and in small scattering angles, are similar to photoabsorption spectra. The comparison of our synthetic spectrum with that measured by Cassini shows that this method is very efficient for identifying molecules as well as estimating abundances.

Despite many studies, the mechanisms of nonradiative relaxation of uracil in the gas phase and in aqueous solution are still not fully resolved. Here we combine theoretical UV absorption spectroscopy...

Ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra were recorded of chloramben (3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid) and selected relatives in solutions of different pH's. From these spectra, the Broensted acid-base properties of chloramben were deduced. Interpretations of solution spectra were applied to UV absorption spectra of chloramben adsorbed onto Ca-montmorillonite at low water content. Infrared (IR) transmittance spectra were recorded of chloramben and selected derivatives in KBr pellets and band assignments were made. Interpretations of these spectra were also applied to IR spectra of chloramben adsorbed onto Ca-montmorillonite at low water content. Both UV and IR measurements indicated that protonation of the amino group occurs and that the carboxyl group of chloramben is strongly hydrogen-bonded to the hydration water of the interlayer cations.

High level ab initio methods are employed to study the addition of methanol to the simplest Criegee intermediates and its methylated analogue. Kinetic rate constants over a range of temperatures are computed and compared to experimental results.
