An Absorption Band of Formaldoxime at lambda9572
The third harmonic of the O [Single Bond] H band in formaldoxime vapor has been found to lie at lambda9572 (10,444.1 cm^â1) and under high dispersion has been resolved and found to resemble a parallel band of a symmetric rotator. Owing to the weakness of the lines near the center of the band a definitely unique rotational analysis could not be made but the harmonic mean of the two larger moments of inertia appears to lie between the limits 73.3 and 76.6Ă10^â40 g cm^2. The hydroxyl hydrogen does not rotate freely and indeed its torsional oscillation appears not to have a very low frequency. It is not possible to locate this hydrogen uniquely until other parameters of the molecule have been determined by electron diffraction. The possible effect of resonance on the O [Single Bond] H frequency is discussed
Structure of the O[Single Bond]H Bands in the Vapors of Halogen Substituted Alcohols
In the study of the infra-red absorption of organic substances containing hydroxyl groups it has been found that the O-H bands sometimes occur as multiplets even though only one such group is present per molecule. This has been observed both in the spectra of vapors (1) and of solutions (2,3) though in the latter case less structure is resolvable in some instances. The phenomenon has been explained by saying that the hydroxyl hydrogen is not free to rotate around the C-O bond, but may be found in more than one position of potential minimum in which the O-H frequency may be somewhat different (1,4). Though this explanation appears plausible it has seemed desirable to investigate the matter further by a quantitative study of some relatively simple substances in the vapor phase. Consequently a series of halogen substituted alcohols has been investigated with interesting results
The N[Single Bond]H Harmonic Bands of Pyrrole at lambda9900, and the Structure of the Pyrrole Molecule
In their study of the infra-red absorption of organic substances in carbon tetrachloride solution Wulf and Liddell (1) found that the strong second harmonic N-H band of pyrrole is accompanied by a weak satellite which lies approximately 50 cm^-1 to the long wave side and has roughly one-twentieth the intensity of the main band. The main band has been attributed by Pauling (2) to a planar pyrrole molecule and the weak satellite to a second molecular species in which the imino hydrogen lies out of the plane of the other atoms

The method of the weakly conjugate operator: Extensions and applications to operators on graphs and groups
In this review we present some recent extensions of the method of the weakly
conjugate operator. We illustrate these developments through examples of
operators on graphs and groups.Comment: 11 page
Spectral analysis for adjacency operators on graphs
We put into evidence graphs with adjacency operator whose singular subspace
is prescribed by the kernel of an auxiliary operator. In particular, for a
family of graphs called admissible, the singular continuous spectrum is absent
and there is at most an eigenvalue located at the origin. Among other examples,
the one-dimensional XY model of solid-state physics is covered. The proofs rely
on commutators methods.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Can the X(3872) be a 1^{++} four-quark state?
We use QCD spectral sum rules to test the nature of the meson X(3872),
assumed to be an exotic four-quark (c\bar{c}q\bar{q}) state with J^{PC}=1^{++}.
For definiteness, we work with the current proposed recently by Maiani et al
[1], at leading order in \alpha_s, consider the contributions of higher
dimension condensates and keep terms which are linear in the light quark mass
m_q. We find M_X=(3925+- 127) MeV which is compatible, within the errors, with
he experimental candidate X(3872), while the SU(3) breaking-terms lead to an
unusual mass-splitting M_{X^{s}}-M_X=- (61+-30) MeV. The mass-difference
between the neutral states due to isospin violation of about (2.6-3.9) MeV is
much smaller than the value (8+-3) MeV proposed in [1]. For the b-quark, we
predict M_{X_b}= (10144+-106) MeV for the X_b(b\bar{b}q \bar{q}), which is much
below the {\bar B}B* threshold in contrast to the {\bar B}B* molecule
prediction [2], and for the X_b^s(b\bar{b}s \bar{s}), a mass-splitting
M_{X^s_{b}}-M_{X_b}=-(121+-182) MeV. Our analysis also indicates that the
mass-splitting between the ground state and the radial excitation of about
(225~250) MeV is much smaller than in the case of ordinary mesons and is
(within the errors) flavour-independent. We also extract the decay constants,
analogous to f_\pi, of such mesons, which are useful for further studies of
their leptonic and hadronic decay widths. The uncertainties of our estimates
are mainly due to the ones from the c and b quark masses.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures. Version to appear in Phys. Rev.
