Abstract

We use optical frequency comb Fourier transform spectroscopy to measure high-resolution spectra of iodomethane, CH$_3$I in the C-H stretch region from 2800 to 3160 cm$^{-1}$. The fast-scanning Fourier transform spectrometer with auto-balanced detection is based on a difference frequency generation comb with repetition rate, f$_{rep}$, of 125 MHz. A series of spectra with sample point spacing equal to f$_{rep}$ are measured at different f$_{rep}$ settings and interleaved to yield sampling point spacing of 11 MHz. Iodomethane is introduced into a 76 m long multipass absorption cell by its vapor pressure at room temperature. The measured spectrum contains three main ro-vibrational features: the parallel vibrational overtone and combination bands centered around 2850 cm$^{-1}$, the symmetric stretch $ν_1$ band centered at 2971 cm$^{-1}$, and the asymmetric stretch $ν_4$ band centered at 3060 cm$^{-1}$. The spectra of the $ν_4$ band and the nearby $ν_3$+$ν_4$-$ν_3$ hot band are simulated using PGOPHER and a new assignment of these bands is presented. The resolved ro-vibrational structures are used in a least square fit together with the microwave data to provide the upper state parameters. We assign 2603 transitions to the $ν_4$ band with standard deviation (observed - calculated) of 0.00034 cm$^{-1}$, and 831 transitions to the $ν_3$+$ν_4$-$ν_3$ hot band with standard deviation of 0.00084 cm$^{-1}$. The hyperfine splittings due to the ${^{127}}$I nuclear quadrupole moment are observed for transitions with J$\leq$2xK. Finally, intensities of 157 isolated transitions in the $ν_4$ band are reported for the first time using the Voigt line shape as a model in multispectral fitting.

Global approximations to the error function of real argument for vectorized computation

The error function of real argument can be approximated to a given uniform relative accuracy by a single closed-form expression for the whole variable range either in terms of addition, multiplication, division, and square root operations only, or also using the exponential function. The coefficients have been tabulated for up to 128-bit precision. Tests of a computer code implementation using the standard single- and double-precision floating-point arithmetic show good performance and vectorizability. Approximations to the complementary error function have also been found, including those where only additions, multiplications, and one division are needed to reach a uniform absolute accuracy.

From Heuristics to Machine Learning: The Performance Ceiling for Single-Ion Magnets and Its Electronic Origin

Machine learning (ML) is expected to speed up the discovery of single-ion magnets (SIMs), but does the structural information available before synthesis allow such predictions? For 1215 lanthanide complexes from the SIMDAVIS 1.2.1 database we compared three increasing levels of structural description: tabular features of the coordination site, continuous symmetry measures of the coordination polyhedron, and the complete 3D arrangement of atoms. All three converge to an accuracy near 76%, only slightly above the 71% of the single rule "predict SIM for Dy3+". To explain the failures, we combined multireference ab initio calculations with an inspection of the structures behind the high-confidence errors. The SIMs missed by the geometric models are field-induced relaxers whose ground Kramers doublets are prone to tunnelling, a property invisible to geometric descriptors. Many false positives contain several lanthanide centers or radicals, so their relaxation is collective and outside the single-ion picture. The electronic-structure and connectivity information needed to identify SIMs is therefore not accessible to geometric methods alone. Geometric models remain useful: restricting the screening to compounds with high prediction confidence raises the accuracy to 88% while retaining 48% of the dataset. Building on the analysis of the failures, we propose a strategy that combines simple filters for nuclearity and for radicals with ligand-field descriptors from ab initio calculations.

Composition-Dependent Self-Diffusion Coefficients in Liquid Mixtures from Hybrid Machine Learning

Self-diffusion coefficients are key descriptors of molecular mobility, yet experimental data remain scarce, highlighting the need for reliable prediction methods. In previous work, we introduced the hybrid Enhanced Stokes-Einstein (ESE) model, which advanced the state of the art in the physically consistent prediction of self-diffusion coefficients of solutes at infinite dilution in pure solvents by integrating the Stokes-Einstein equation with machine learning (ML). Here, we extend this approach to concentration-dependent self-diffusion coefficients and multicomponent solvents with HADES. This hybrid architecture leverages a deep-set neural network to connect pure-component and mixture prediction within a single framework. HADES predicts self-diffusion coefficients in liquid mixtures with any number of components at any composition and temperature. The only required inputs are SMILES-encoded molecular structures of the components and the pure-component viscosities, making the method broadly applicable. Trained and evaluated on a comprehensive dataset of 2526 data points for 600 systems, HADES significantly outperforms benchmark prediction methods. The trained model and its source code are fully disclosed, and the application is available via an interactive website https://ml-prop.mv.rptu.de/.
