Abstract
Raman spectra of acetylacetone were recorded for molecules isolated in an argon matrix at 10 K and for a polycrystalline sample. In the solid sample, broad bands appear superimposed on a much weaker Raman spectrum corresponding mainly to the stable enol form. The position of these bands depends on the excitation wavelength (514.5 and 488.8 nm argon ion laser lines were used), sample temperature, and cooling history. They are attributed to transitions from an excited electronic state to various isomer states in the ground electronic state. Laser photons have energies comparable to energies of a number of excited triplet states predicted for a free acetylacetone molecule (Chen, X.-B.; Fang, W.-H.; Phillips, D. L. J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 4434). Since singlet-to-triplet photon absorption transitions are forbidden, states existing in the solid have mixed singlet/triplet character. Their decay results in population of different isomer states, which except for the lowest isomers SYN enol, TS2 enol (described in Matanovi I.; Dosli, N. J. Phys. Chem. A 2005, 109, 4185), and the keto form, which can be detected in the Raman spectra of the solid, are not vibrationally resolved. Differential scanning calorimetry detected two signals upon cooling of acetylacetone, one at 229 K and one at 217 K, while upon heating, they appear at 254 and 225 K. The phase change at higher temperature is attributed to a freezing/melting transition, while the one at lower temperature seems to correspond to freezing/melting of keto domains, as suggested by Johnson et al. (Johnson, M. R.; Jones, N. H.; Geis, A; Horsewill. A. J.; Trommsdorff, H. P. J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 5694). Using matrix isolation in argon, the vibrational spectrum of acetylacetone at 10 K was recorded. Strong bands at 1602 and 1629 cm(-1) are assigned as the SYN enol bands, while a weaker underlying band at 1687 cm(-1) and a medium shoulder at 1617 cm(-1) are assigned as TS2 enol bands.
