Headline news:
In a collaboration between the MBI, the Free University
Berlin and the University of Wroclaw, different spectroscopic
techniques are used to determine hydrogen bond complexation
and tautomerization of 2-pyridone, a classic spectroscopic
problem, in dichloromethane solution. |

One sentence summary:
Hydrogen bond complex formation of 2-pyridone in dichloromethane
solution is unraveled in a combined approach exploiting NMR,
steady-state FT-IR (including 2D correlation spectroscopy),
femtosecond IR pump-probe wavepacket spectroscopy, and quantum
chemical calculations. |

One sentence summary:
Ultrafast IR spectroscopy of the NH and PO stretching bands
of adenine–thymine base pairs in DNA oligomers enable
to separate and assign DNA and water vibrations, to determine
their couplings, and to unravel microscopic processes governing
the dynamics of hydration shells. |
