In the wavelength range of 231-275 nm, we have studied the mass-resolved dissociation spectra of OCS+ via B2∑+←X2П3/2(000) and B2∑+←X2П1/2(000, 001) transitions by preparing OCS+ ions in the well-defined spin-orbit states. The spectroscopic constants of v1 (CS stretch)=828.9 (810.4) cm-1, u2 (bend)=491.3 cm-1 and v3(CO stretch)=1887.2 cm-1 for OCS+(B2∑+) are deduced. The observed dependence of the v2(bend) mode excitation of B2∑+ on the spin-orbit splitting of X2П(Ω=1/2, 3/2) in the B2∑+←-X2П transition can be attributed to the K coupling between the (000)2П1/2 and (010)2∑+/2 vibronic levels of X2П state, which makes the B2∑+(010)←X2П1/2(000) transition possible.
Molecular self-assembly is extremely important in many fields, but the characterization of their corresponding intermolecular interactions is still lacking. The C-H stretching Raman band can reflect the hydrophobic interactions during the self-assembly process of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions. However, the Raman spectra in this region are seriously overlapped by the OH stretching band of water. In this work, vertically polarized Raman spectra were used to improve the detection sensitivity of spectra of C-H region for the first time. The spectral results showed that the first critical micelle concentration and the second critical micelle concentration of SDS in water were 8.5 and 69 mmol/L, respectively, which were consistent with the results given by surface tension measurements. Because of the high sensitivity of vertically polarized Raman spectra, the critical micelle concentration of SDS in a relatively high concentration of salt solution could be obtained in our experiment. The two critical concentrations of SDS in 100 mmol/L NaCl solution were recorded to be 1.8 and 16.5 mmol/L, respectively. Through comparing the spectra and surface tension of SDS in water and in NaCl solution, the self-assembly process in bulk phase and at interface were discussed. The interactions among salt ions, SDS and water molecules were also analyzed. These results demonstrated the vertically polarized Raman spectra could be employed to study the self-assembly process of SDS in water.
