We have obtained the Raman spectra of TiCl n (n= 2, 3, and 4). Assignments of the observed Raman bands were made by a normal mode analysis. The force constants were determined from the observed Raman band frequencies. We have found that the Ti-Cl stretching force constant increases as the oxidation number of the Ti species increases.

The terahertz frequency absorption spectra of DNA molecules reflect low-frequency internal helical vibrations involving rigidly bound subgroups that are connected by the weakest bonds, including the hydrogen bonds of the DNA base pairs, and/or non-bonded interactions. Although numerous difficulties make the direct identification of terahertz phonon modes in biological materials very challenging, recent studies have shown that such measurements are both possible and useful. Spectra of different DNA samples reveal a large number of modes and a reasonable level of sequence-specific uniqueness. This chapter utilizes computational methods for normal mode analysis and theoretical spectroscopy to predict the low-frequency vibrational absorption spectra of short artificial DNA and RNA. Here the experimental technique is described in detail, including the procedure for sample preparation. Careful attention was paid to the possibility of interference or etalon effects in the samples, and phenomena were clearly differentiated from the actual phonon modes. The results from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of DNA macromolecules and related biological materials in the terahertz frequency range are presented. In addition, a strong anisotropy of terahertz characteristics is demonstrated. Detailed tests of the ability of normal mode analysis to reproduce RNA vibrational spectra are also conducted. A direct comparison demonstrates a correlation between calculated and experimentally observed spectra of the RNA polymers, thus confirming that the fundamental physical nature of the observed resonance structure is caused by the internal vibration modes in the macromolecules. Application of artificial neural network analysis for recognition and discrimination between different DNA molecules is discussed.

In this article, we report a method for coarse-grained normal mode analysis called the minimalist network model. The main features of the method are that it can deliver accurate low-frequency modes on structures without undergoing initial energy minimization and that it also retains the details of molecular interactions. The method does not require any additional adjustable parameters after coarse graining and is computationally very fast. Tests on modeling the experimentally measured anisotropic displacement parameters in biomolecular x-ray crystallography demonstrate that the method can consistently perform better than other commonly used methods including our own one. We expect this method to be effective for applications such as structural refinement and conformational sampling.
