In order to determine the provenance of these unique terra cotta icons, the mass fractions of 19 different chemical elements were previously determined in ten fragments of the terra cotta icons and thirty three samples of clays from eight different sites from the region. Due to the dimensionality and complexity of the experimental data, the archaeometric results were treated with self-organising maps (SOM). The results obtained using SOM were compared with the ones obtained using principal component analysis. Both chemometric methods revealed that Vinica terra cotta icons were made from clay from Grnčarka, 2.5 km SouthEast from the Vinica Fortress.

IR spectroscopy provided data for assessing the firing temperature of the ceramic body as well as the basic mineralogical composition, while micro-Raman spectroscopy was used for studying the glazes as well as for estimating the mineralogical composition of the ceramic body. The firing temperature of the Byzantine pottery was more uniform and ranged between 700 and 800 • C. In the case of the Ottoman pottery, a clear distinction between two different firing temperatures in the samples was made, thereby dividing them into two groups (700-800 and 800-900 • C). According to the previously established relationship between glaze composition and Raman parameters, the glazes in all analyzed samples were found to be lead-based, with firing temperature below 700 • C. A total of 25 different mineral phases was identified in the body of the ceramics. Some pigments were also identified in the pottery glazes. Oleic acid (oil) and apatite residues (protein?) were identified in one sample.

Our spectra of benzanilide, C 6H 5(CO)NHC 6H 5, and thiobenzanilide, C 6H 5(CS)NHC 6H 5, show that in this region there are, at least, four prominent bands which shift on deuteration. That could indicate that all these bands are in connection with the vibrations of amide and/or thioamide groups. Some other amide and thioamide bands have been also discussed.

ABSTRACT The multiplet structure of νNH and νND bands of solid phtalimide, monothiophtalimide, ... more ABSTRACT The multiplet structure of νNH and νND bands of solid phtalimide, monothiophtalimide, dithiophtalimide, isatin, saccharin and of their deuterated analogues has been explained as being a result of Fermi resonance of the fundamentals of νNH and νND with combinations and/or overtones. The submaxima of 3080 and 2970 cm−1 of saccharin as well as pronounced doublet of 2465 and 2345 cm−1 of d-phtalimide move to lower frequency in the low temperature ir spectra, while the “windows” remain fixed at 3045 and 2380 cm−1, respectively. These examples could be a striking demonstration of Evans type Fermi resonance.

Micro-Raman spectroscopy allowed fast and in situ analysis of majority of pigments and inks used, except for the purple-red organic pigment, brown-purple ink and metallic pigments (silver and gold). The nature of the organic purple-red pigment and organic purple ink was revealed applying ATR-FTIR. In the analysis of the metallic pigment (silver and gold) as well as additional technique in characterizing organic purple-red dye and ink, SEM–EDS was used.Varieties of inks were used in the manuscripts. Gold and silver inks were used for capital letters and for emphasizing certain paragraphs. Red ink was identified as madder in illuminated manuscripts and as vermilion in simple texts. Gall ink was identified as black-brown ink in most of the manuscripts. In 18th century manuscript logwood was identified while in the 12th century manuscript, goethite was used as ink.The analysis of the pigments and inks revealed that over the course of 5 centuries, the pigments used for decoration in Byzantine manuscripts remained similar and traditional (mineral and organic), with pronounced variations in the 18th century post-Byzantine manuscript.

Activities regarding the use of micro-Raman spectroscopy in characterization of archaeological objects were recently carried out in Republic of Macedonia. As a pilot project, pigment analysis (1) in the underlayer and overlayer (from the 17 th and from the 19 th century, respectively) of the wall paintings in Sveta Bogorodica Church in Lešok and (2) in the paints (blue, red, orange, green and yellow) used in six icons painted by Dičo Zograf, in three different churches in the Skopje region, was undertaken. The pigments used, as well as their mixtures, were identified using micro-Raman spectroscopy. In order to achieve some understanding and characterization of the materials of the Byzantine glazed ceramic finds in Republic of Macedonia, as well as to obtain information on their manufacturing technology, micro-Raman spectra of fifteen glazed fragments, all dated from 12 th to 15 th century, were recorded. Based on their Raman spectra, it was possible to estimate the firing temperature of the analyzed glazes.

This manuscript displayed an extensive degree of deterioration in 28 of the folios, while the rest of the manuscript is in considerably better condition. The aforementioned deteriorated sections of the book proved to be brittle and much darker in colour compared to the rest of this manuscript. The possible cause for this condition was ascertained using complementary techniques including the utilisation of micro-chemical (spot) tests, SEM-EDS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The Micro-chemical Herzberg test indicated rag fibres in the paper used for the Koran, while the Raspail test #1 revealed rosin only in the sizing material of the deteriorated folios. SEM-EDS identified the presence of iron in all layers of the deteriorated folios but not in the stable folios. These results led subsequently to the conclusion that the deterioration of the folios was in fact related to the acid-catalysed hydrolysis due mainly...

Depending on crystallization conditions, thiobenzanilide can give, at least four different spectra, which belong to four polymorphic modifications.

The crystal structure of tripotassium trisaccharinate dihydrate, K 3 (C 7 H 4 NO 3 S) 3 ¢2H 2 O, ... more The crystal structure of tripotassium trisaccharinate dihydrate, K 3 (C 7 H 4 NO 3 S) 3 ¢2H 2 O, is triclinic, space group P 1, Z = 2. It consists of three crystallographically independent potassium and saccharinato ions as well as two structurally di¬erent water molecules. Potassium coordination polyhedra are irregular, with K1 and K3 six-coordinated and the third one K2 seven-coordinated. The K{O distances range from 2.652(9) to 3.100(2)A(mean: 2.790A) whereas the K{N distance is 3.025(3)A. The water molecules W2 is disordered over three positions with occupancies of approximately 0.6, 0.2 and 0.2. The hydrogen atom (H1W1) of the ordered water molecule (O1W) is hydrogen bonded to the sulfonyl oxygen atom (O11) (R(O¢ ¢ ¢O) = 2.976(3)A), whereas the other hydrogen atom (H2W1) is bifurcated to the carbonyl oxygen atom (O13) (R(O ¢ ¢ ¢O) = 2.851(3)A) and the disordered water molecules (O23W) (R(O¢ ¢ ¢O) = 3.067(12)A). The carbonyl oxygens (O13, O23 and O33) and one of the disordered water molecules (O22W) are involved in C{H¢ ¢ ¢O hydrogen bonds (R(C{H¢ ¢ ¢O) = 3.027(4)-3.304(9)A). Structural characteristics of the studied compound are compared with the analogous trisodium trisaccharinate dihydrate and dipotassium sodium trisaccharinate monohydrate. Infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound have been analyzed in relation to the structure, and compared with the spectra of trisodium trisaccharinate dihydrate.

Two monomeric chlorosaccharinatopyridinemercury(II) moieties are joined together forming a dim -chloro bridged dimmer by an inversion centre operation. The mercury atom is coordinated with two bridging chlorine and the pyridine and saccharinato nitrogen atoms in the shape of a heavily distorted tetrahedron. There is a significant difference between Hg1-Cl1 [2.533(2) Å] and Hg1-Cl1 i [2.715(2) Å] distances as well as between Hg1-N11 [2.106(7) Å] and Hg1-N21 [2.209(7) Å] bond lengths. The valence bond angles at the metal atom deviate significantly from the standard tetrahedral value, ranging from 86.23(7)°for Cl1-Hg1-Cl1 i to 131.5(3)°for N11-Hg1-N21. Discrete molecules are linked together by weak intermolecular C-HLO attractions at distances less than 3.5 Å.
