Abstract

The structure, isomerization pathways and vibrational spectra of the important N-hydroxyurea (HU) molecule were studied by matrix isolation FT-IR spectroscopy and molecular orbital calculations undertaken at the MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. In agreement with theoretical predictions, 1Ea represents the most stable keto isomer in the gas-phase, being the dominant species trapped in argon matrices, while the 1Za isomer also contributes to the spectrum of isolated HU molecules. According to the calculated abundance values at the temperature of evaporation of the compound (393 K), the 1Ea and 1Za isomers together with a small contribution of 1Eb are expected to appear in the experimental spectra. Since the barrier for interconversion 1Ea ↔ 1Eb is only ∼2 kJ mol−1, these two isomers are in equilibrium in the matrices and, at low temperature, the population of the less stable 1Eb form is too small to be observed. Full assignment of the observed spectra of N-hydroxyurea and its deuterium analogue was undertaken on the basis of comparison with theoretical data.

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.
