Accurate Line Shapes from Sub-1 cm–1 Resolution Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy of α-Pinene at Room Temperature
Amanda L. Mifflin,Luis Velarde,Junming Ho,Brian T. Psciuk,Christian F. A. Negre,C. J. Ebben,Mary Alice Upshur,Zhou Lu,Benjamin F. Strick,Regan J. Thomson,Victor S. Batista,Hong-fei Wang,Franz M. Geiger +12 more
TL;DR: Subwavenumber high-resolution broad-band sum frequency generation (HR-BB-SFG) spectra of the common terpene (+)-α-pinene that reveal 10 peaks in the C-H stretching region at room temperature are presented as an attractive alternative to time domain vibrational spectroscopy or heterodyne detection schemes for studying vibrational energy relaxation and vibrational coherences in molecules at molecular surfaces or interfaces.

Vibrational Mode Assignment of α-Pinene by Isotope Editing: One Down, Seventy-One To Go
Mary Alice Upshur,Hilary M. Chase,Benjamin F. Strick,C. J. Ebben,Li Fu,Hong-fei Wang,Regan J. Thomson,Franz M. Geiger +7 more
TL;DR: Upon removing the vinyl methyl group entirely by synthesizing apopinene, the steric influence of the unlabeled C9H14 fragment on the SFG response of α-pinene SFG can be readily observed.

An oxidative [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic hydrazides.
TL;DR: The development of an efficient oxidative [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic hydrazides, via singlet N-nitrene intermediates, is reported and the products are shown to be useful precursors to a variety of compounds.

Beyond local group modes in vibrational sum frequency generation.
Hilary M. Chase,Brian T. Psciuk,Benjamin F. Strick,Regan J. Thomson,Victor S. Batista,Franz M. Geiger +5 more
TL;DR: The method is used to determine that the SFG responses that the researchers obtain from trans-β-IEPOX are almost exclusively due to nonlocal modes involving multiple C-H groups oscillating at the same frequency as one vibrational mode.

Assessment of DFT for Computing Sum Frequency Generation Spectra of an Epoxydiol and a Deuterated Isotopologue at Fused Silica/Vapor Interfaces.
Hilary M. Chase,Benjamin Rudshteyn,Brian T. Psciuk,Mary Alice Upshur,Benjamin F. Strick,Regan J. Thomson,Victor S. Batista,Franz M. Geiger +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the capabilities of eight popular density functional theory (DFT) functionals, in combination with several basis sets, as applied to calculations of vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectra of the atmospherically relevant isoprene oxidation product trans-β-isoprene epoxydiol (IEPOX) and one of its deuterated isotopologues at the fused silica/vapor interface.
