要旨

Hydrogen (H)-bonding interactions of uric acid (UA) with water have been investigated via IR-UV double resonance measurements in the mid-IR region. Comparison of the present results with those obtained previously in the near-IR region enables us to examine microscopic hydration effects that are specific to the H-bonding acceptor sites of UA. It is shown that hydration of the C8O site promotes the mode coupling of this stretch with the C2O stretch. The occurrence of this coupling is manifested in the IR intensity pattern, in which the transition associated with the in-phase contribution C8O + C2O is significantly suppressed, whereas the corresponding out-of-phase contribution gives rise to a strong peak. We also measured the mid-IR spectra of the 1 : 1 complex formed between UA and melamine (MEL) and carried out a structural analysis using the spectroscopic signature of the H-bonding derived from the result of the monohydrated cluster. It is shown that the complex possesses a triple H-bonding structure with the C2O acceptor site of UA H-bonded to MEL. Furthermore, the IR-depleted UV spectroscopy technique was employed in order to ascertain whether other structural isomers are present in the probe UV spectra.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
