Trapping sites of hydrogen atoms in solid HD and D2 : An electron spin echo study Reviewed

T. Kumada, T. Noda, J. Kumagai, Y. Aratono, T. Miyazaki

J. Chem. Phys. Vol. 111 ( 24 ) page： 10974-10978 1999.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Trapping sites of H and D atoms in solid HD and D-2 have been determined using electron spin echo (ESE) spectroscopy. It was found that all the H and D atoms are trapped in substitutional sites and that the H atoms push back surrounding HD(D-2) molecules to produce local lattice distortion around the atoms, whereas the D atoms do not. It is expected that the local lattice distortion is produced by zero-point motion of the H atoms whose amplitude is larger than that of host HD(D-2) molecules and that the isotope effect is due to difference in the amplitude between the H and D atoms. The lattice distortion around the H atoms may induce the increase in rate constant for the tunneling reaction D+DH --> D-2+H with the increase in temperature in solid HD reported in Chem. Phys. Lett. 261, 463 (1996).

Differences in the sensitivity to UVB radiation of two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) based on observation of long-lived radicals Reviewed

J. Kumagai, H. Katoh, T. Miyazaki, J. Hidema, T. Kumagai

J. Radiat. Res. Vol. 40 ( 4 ) page： 303-310 1999.12

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Free radicals with a long lifetime were observed in the leaves of two rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L,.), Sasanishiki (UVB resistant) and Norin-1 (UVB sensitive), by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The leaves of both cultivars grown with visible light show very similar ESR spectra composed of radical 1 (R1) and radical 2 (R2), which may be attributable to P-700 cation radicals in the reaction center of photosystem I, and tyrosine cation radicals in the reaction center of photosystem II, respectively. The ESR spectrum composed of R1 and R2 radicals in the leaves of Sasanishiki grown under visible light with supplemental UVB was similar to that in the plant grown without supplemental UVB. On the other hand, the amount of R2 radicals in the leaves of Norin-1 grown under visible light with supplemental UVB was significantly smaller than that in the plant grown without supplemental UVB. It is suggested that the loss of R2 radicals in Norin-1 upon UVB irradiation is related to the instability of the plant.

Observation of electron bubbles in para-H2-D2 (HD) mixtures by high-resolution ESR spectroscopy Reviewed

T. Kumada, S. Mori, J. Kumagai, Y. Aratono, T. Miyazaki

J. Phys. Chem. A Vol. 103 ( 45 ) page： 8966-8968 1999.11

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

A sharp singlet signal assigned to electron bubbles was observed in gamma-irradiated solid para-H-2-D-2 (HD) mixtures by use of high-resolution ESR spectroscopy. The signal was not observed in pure para-H-2 but in the mixtures. This result indicates that the D-2 and HD molecules play an important role in the formation of the electron bubbles in para-H-2. The electron bubbles decay with a half-lifetime of about 2 h, and the decay rate constant at 4.2 K is very close to that at 2.2 K. This result shows that the electron bubbles migrate in the p-H-2 sample via quantum mechanical tunneling.

Suppression of the Anderson localization of charge carriers on polysilane quantum wire Reviewed

T. Ichikawa, Y. Yamada, J. Kumagai, M. Fujiki

Chem. Phys. Lett. Vol. 306 ( 5-6 ) page： 275-279 1999.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Comparison of the ESR and electronic absorption spectra of the radical ions of poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) and poly(n-decyl-(s)-2-methylbutylsilane) has shown that the Anderson localization of charge carriers on part of the Si-Si polymer skeleton can be suppressed by replacing the pendant groups with bulky ones. Replacement reduces the flexibility of the polymer skeleton and therefore the dispersion of the resonance energies of the charge carriers between adjacent Si atoms, which suppresses the localization of the charge carriers arising from irregularity of the periodic potential field on the skeleton.

Optical and electronic properties of polysilane radical anions Reviewed

T. Ichikawa, H. Koizumi, J. Kumagai

J. Phys. Chem. B Vol. 103 ( 19 ) page： 3812-3817 1999.5

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Analyses of the electronic absorption spectra and their polarization spectra of the radical anions of permethylated hexa- and octasilane and poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) in the mixed solvents of nonpolar methylcyclohexane and polar 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at 77 K have revealed that the orbitals of the excess electrons in the radical anions are antibonding pseudo-pi composed of Si 3p(y) atomic orbitals bisecting the Si-Si-Si planes. The near-IR and UV bands of the radical anions are assigned as being due to the excitation of an electron from the SOMO pseudo-pi(3p(y)) to pseudo-pi(3p(y)) and from the HOMO pseudo-pi(3p(x)) to antibonding-sigma(3s), respectively. The near-IR band of the polysilane radical anion shows strong solvatochromic shift, which arises from the localization of the excess electron on a part of the main chain. Localization of the excess electron is proposed to be due to Anderson localization which is induced by the fluctuation of pseudo-pi conjugation arising from the irregularity of the torsional angles of the Si-Si bonds.

Decay of H₂-anions in solid parahydrogen via two-stage quantum tunneling diffusion processes Reviewed

T. Kumada, N. Kitagawa, S. Mori, J. Kumagai, Y. Aratono, T. Miyazaki

J. Low Temp. Phys. Vol. 114 ( 5-6 ) page： 413-429 1999.5

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Decay mechanism of H-2(-) anions in X(gamma)-irradiated solid para-H-2 (p-H-2) has been studied using high-resolution ESR spectroscopy in the temperature range between 1.3-6.6 K. The results are summarized as follows. First, the decay rate constant of the H-2(-) anions is not proportional to initial yields of reactive species such as cations and H atoms but proportional to the concentration of less-reactive species of HD molecules in p-H-2. This result shows that the decay of the H-2(-) anion is due to the reaction neither with cations nor H atoms but the HD molecules originally contained in the p-H-2 sample at natural abundance. Second, the decay rate constant of the H-2(-) anions increases proportionally with the increase in temperature below 3 K and decreases with the increase in temperature between 3-5 K, although it increases exponentially with the increase in temperature above 5 K. This result indicates that the decay rate constant of the H-2(-) anions is controlled by the rate constant for the diffusion of the H-2(-) anions via one-phonon assisted quantum tunneling below 3 K, two-photon scattered or assisted quantum tunneling between 3-5 K, and thermally-activated process above 5 K.

An ENDOR spectrum of H atoms in solid H2 Reviewed

T. Kumada, N. Kitagawa, T. Noda, J. Kumagai, Y. Aratono, T. Miyazaki

Chem. Phys. Lett. Vol. 288 ( 5-6 ) page： 755-759 1998.5

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

An ENDOR spectrum of H atoms produced in the gamma-ray irradiated solid H-2 was measured at 4.2 K in order to elucidate the structure of the local environment of the H atoms in solid H-2. We found that the H atoms were not trapped in interstitial sites but in substitutional sites of the solid, and almost all the ortho-H(2 )molecules at the first nearest sites from the H atoms converted into para-H-2 molecules. This result shows that the ortho-para conversion is induced by electron spins of the H atoms

Temperature Effect on Selective Tunneling Abstraction Reaction by H Atoms in Neopentane-Alkane Mixtures 4-100K Reviewed

J. Kumagai, T. Kumada, N. KItagawa, N. Morishita, T. MIyazaki

J. Phys. Chem. A Vol. 102 ( 17 ) page： 2842-2846 1998.4

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

When H atoms are produced by the photolysis of HI or the radiolysis of neo-C5H12 in the neo-C5H12-i-C4H10(2 mol %) mixtures above 40 K, the H atoms react selectively with the solute i-C4H10. The selective reaction is suppressed below 30 K. The reactions have been studied by electron spin resonance and electron spin echo measurements at 4-100 K. The drastic temperature effect on the reaction by H atoms suggests that the H atoms concerned are not hot atoms, but thermal atoms. The thermal H atoms react with the solute alkane by quantum tunneling at low temperature. Temperature effects on the ESR spectra and the spin-lattice relaxation times of the solvent neo-C5H11 radicals and the solute t-C4H9 radicals indicate that local motions of the solute i-C4H10 molecules take place above 40 K, while motions of the solvent neo-C5H12 molecules are severely restricted even at 100 K. It is concluded that the local motions of the solute i-C4H10 assist the tunneling abstraction reaction by H atoms, resulting in the selective reaction with the solute above 40 K.

Structure of Conduction Electrons on Polysilanes As Studied by Electron Spin-Echo Envelope Modulation Analysis Reviewed

T. Ichikawa, H. Koizumi, J. Kumagai

J. Phys. Chem. B Vol. 101 ( 50 ) page： 10698-10703 1997.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The orbital structures of conduction electrons on permethylated oligosilane, Si-8(CH3)(18), and poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) have been determined by analyzing the electron spin-echo envelope modulation signals of the radical anions of these silanes in a deuterated rigid matrix at 77 K. The conduction electron on permethylated oligosilane is delocalized over the entire main chain, whereas that on poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) is localized on a part of the main chain composed of about six Si atoms, Quantum-chemical calculations suggest that Anderson localization due to fluctuation of sigma conjugation by conformational disorder of the main chain is responsible for the localization of both the conduction electron and the hole.

Stabilization of Hydrogen Radical Anions in Solid Hydrogen Reviewed

T.Ichikawa, H. Tachikawa, J. Kumagai, T. Kumada, T. MIyazaki

J. Phys. Chem. A Vol. 101 ( 40 ) page： 7315-7317 1997.10

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The electron spin resonance g-factor of H-2(-) in gamma-irradiated crystalline H-2 was found to be not 2.003 but 2.0023, A novel model has been proposed for explaining the formation and stabilization of Hz-in crystalline H-2. The model assumes H-2(-) to be located at the center of a cavity that has previously been occupied by a trapped electron. The excess electron of H-2(-) is forced to be attached on one H-2 in the cavity due to strong repulsive interactions between the excess electron and H-2 molecules surrounding the cavity. A quantum mechanical calculation shows that an electron trapped in the vacancy of crystalline Hz automatically converts to H-2(-) by drawing one of the surrounding H-2 molecules into the center of the vacancy.

Direct observation of radical formation by charge recombination

Formation of the 2,3,4-trihydronaphtyl radical from the radical cation of tetralin by charge recombination has been studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Illumination of the gamma-irradiated glassy alkane solution of tetralin with visible light at 77 K causes electron ejection from the radical anion of tetralin, and the ejected electron recombines with the radical cation to generate the excited tetralin, which then converts to the neutral 2,3,4-trihydronaphtyl radical. The quantum yield of the formation of the neutral radical is approximately the same as that for UV-excited tetralin, which suggests that highly excited states of tetralin are not important for the formation of the neutral radical. The highly excited tetralin molecules generated by charge recombination relax to the first excited state without any chemical reaction, and the scission of a C-H bond takes place under the first excited state.

Interchain Migration of Electrons and Holes in Polysilanes Reviewed

J. Kumagai, H. Tachikawa, H. Yoshida, T. Ichikawa

J. Phys. Chem. Vol. 100 ( 42 ) page： 16777-16778 1996.10

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The measurements of the ESR and optical absorption spectra of polysilane radical ions revealed that the hole in the radical cation is delocalized onto the side chains, whereas the excess electron in the radical anion is confined within the silicon main chain. This observation suggests that the side chains hinder the interchain hopping of the charge for the anion but not the cation. Therefore the hole is the primary charge carrier in polysilanes.

Radical ions of oligosilane and polysilane Reviewed

J. Kumagai, T. Ichikawa, H. Yoshida

Radiat. Phys. Chem. Vol. 47 ( 3 ) page： 497-499 1996.5

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

In order to elucidate electronic properties of polysilane Si-Si skeleton, the radical ions generated by gamma-irradiation of polycyclohexylmethylsilane and polymethylphenylsilane were studied by ESR and optical absorption methods. The ion radicals of permethyloligosilanes (Si-4 similar to Si-8) have also been studied for comparison. The observed results suggest that the unpaired electron is localized on a limited region of Si-Si skeleton in the polymers and it is delocalized on the whole Si-Si skeleton of the oligomers.

Effect of ionizing radiation on polysilane Reviewed

J. Kumagai, K. Oyama, H. Yoshida, T. Ichikawa

Radiat. Phys. Chem. Vol. 47 ( 4 ) page： 631-636 1996.4

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

ESR and gel permeation chromatographic measurements of poly(diethylsilane) and poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) gamma-irradiated at temperatures between 77 K and 300 K were carried out to elucidate the mechanism of radiation-induced degradation of polysilanes. Radical species observed after the irradiation are not silyl-type radicals generated by the cleavage of the Si-Si bond but alkyl radicals generated by the scission of the C-H bond. The G value of the main-chain scission depends strongly on the irradiation temperature and dose. It is proposed that sigma-conjugation along the main chain allows the migration of the radiation energy to the weakest bond in the main chain where the direct scission of the bond is induced.

Formation and isomerization mechanisms of M⁺CO₂^-(M=Li, Na)ion-pair complexes. An Abinitio MO and RPKM study Reviewed

H. Tachikawa, Y. Takatori, A. Ohtake, J. Kumagai, H. Yoshida

Theochem. Vol. 342 page： 1-7 1995.10

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Structures and electronic states of the M(+)CO(2)(-) (M = Li and Na) ion-pairs have been investigated by means of ab initio MO calculations. The potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the ion-pair formation reaction (M + CO2 --> M(+)CO(2)(-)) show that the ground state MCO(2) complex has a van der Waals (vdW) character (M . CO2) at the entrance region in the reaction and an ionic one (M(+)CO(2)(-)) at short M-C distances and that the activation barrier is found at the intermediate region between the vdW and ion-pair states. The wavefunctions of the ion-pair for the low-lying excited states are obtained by the multireference single and double excitation configuration interaction (MR-SD-CI) method. The first and second electronic excitations are characterized by charge-transfer transition from CO2- to Na+ and local excitation within the CO2- moiety in M(+)CO(2)(-) respectively. In order to elucidate the isomerization mechanism of the Li+CO2- ion-pair from C-s to C-2v structures, which was observed by Kafafi et al. (J. Am. Chem. Sec., 105 (1983) 3886), the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel and Marcus (RRKM) theory is applied to calculate the microcanonical reaction rate along the reaction coordinate. The calculations strongly support their experimental results in which the reaction Li+CO2-(C-s) --> Li+CO2- (C-2v) occurs preferentially on IR irradiation.

Electronic Structure of Oligosilane and Polysilane Radical Cations as Studied by Electron Spin Resonance and Electronic Absorption Spectroscopy Reviewed

J. Kumagai, H. Yoshida, T. Ichikawa

J. Phys. Chem. Vol. 99 ( 20 ) page： 7965-7969 1995.5

Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The electron spin resonance (ESR) and the electronic absorption spectra of oligosilane (Si(n)R(n+1)R(n+1)', n = 2 similar to 6) radical cations in a cryogenic solid of a Freon mixture have been compared with those of poly(cyclohexylmethylsilane) and poly(methylphenylsilane) radical cations for elucidating the structure of the SOMO orbital of the radical cations or the HOMO orbitals of the neutral polysilanes, The absorption and ESR spectra of the polymer radical cations are similar to each other and also similar to those of the oligosilane radical cations, which suggests that the unpaired electron of the polymer radical cations is not delocalized all over the Si-Si main chain. The absorption spectra of the polysilane radical cations are composed of a UV and near IR bands which correspond to SOMO --> LUMO and SOMO - 1 --> SOMO, respectively. The oligosilane and the polysilane radical cations show broad isotropic ESR spectra due to hyperfine interactions with side-chain protons. Analysis of the ESR spectra shows that the unpaired electron of the polysilane radical cation is confined to only a part of the polymer chain composed of six Si atoms.
