“…Using Raman scattering, the distribution function of OH oscillators over frequencies that depict the changes in the number of structural nano-associates can be understood. 21,22 As the contour of the OH band is affected by the hydrogen bond, 21 special attention was devoted to estimating the vibrational frequencies of the OH groups. This analysis provides the quantitative contributions of the molecules with different strengths of hydrogen bonding into the OH stretching bands.…”

“…[15][16][17][18] Therefore, Raman spectroscopy allows us to understand hydrogen bonding in water and in aqueous solutions in general. [19][20][21] In this study, we established a correlation between the different states of hydrogen bonding of alcohol, which is a vehicle for homeopathic medicine, due to the effect of potentization and measured from Raman data, and the electrical measurement, which provides the ionic state of the liquid. We selected the two homeopathic medicines Chininum purum and Acidum benzoicum for such studies for a specific reason: the former is basic in nature, while the latter is acidic in nature.…”

Background For the study of homeopathic medicines in proper perspective, emerging techniques in material science are being used. Vibrational spectroscopy is one such tool for providing information on different states of hydrogen bonding as an effect of potentization. The associated change in electrical properties is also correlated with this effect. Objective From the vibrational spectra, the changes in hydrogen bonding due to dilution followed by unidirectional vigorous shaking (together termed potentization) of 91% ethanol and two homeopathic medicines Chininum purum and Acidum benzoicum have been studied. The aim was to correlate the result with the change in the electrical properties of the system. Methods Raman spectroscopy was used to study the vibrational spectra. A U-shaped glass tube (electrochemical cell), where one arm contained bi-distilled water and the other arm alcohol/homeopathic medicine (the arms being separated by a platinum foil), was used to measure the voltage generated across two symmetrically placed platinum electrodes. Results For all samples, it was observed that potentization affected the intensity of OH stretching bands at the frequencies 3240 cm−1, 3420 cm−1 and 3620 cm−1, corresponding to strong hydrogen bond, weak hydrogen bond and broken hydrogen bond, respectively. With the increase in potency, in the presence and absence of the two medicines in ethanol, the number of OH groups linked by strong hydrogen bonds decreased, while the number of OH groups with weak hydrogen bonds increased. With the increase in potentization, the number of OH groups with broken hydrogen bonds showed a difference in the presence and absence of the medicine.The voltage measurements for ethanol show that, with succussion, the magnitude of voltage increased with the two medicines at lower potencies, but not at higher potency where the voltage is lower. Acidum benzoicum, which is acidic in nature, had higher voltage values (113mV, 130 mV and 118 mV at 6C, 30C and 200C, respectively), compared with Chininum purum, which is basic in nature (20 mV, 85 mV and 65 mV at 6C, 30C and 200C, respectively). Conclusion The experimental results indicate a correlation between the vibrational and electrical properties of the homeopathic medicines Acidum benzoicum and Chininum purum at different potencies.

“…Impurities released by containers or other contaminants affect the physicochemical variables of SDVSPL. However, analyses of SDVSPL prepared in glass or plastic vessels show that such impurities cannot account for their typical properties (Elia and Niccoli, 2004a&b;Witt et al, 2006;Ciavatta et al, 2008;Montagnier et al, 2009;Elia and Napoli, 2010;Upadhyay and Nayak, 2011;Demangeat, 2013Demangeat, , 2015Pershin et al 2015;Ryzhkina et al, 2015b;Yinnon and Liu, 2015b).…”

Aqueous solutions and other polar liquids, perturbed by serial dilutions and vigorous shaking, have properties which are of importance for toxicology, medicine and wastewater treatment. Extensive research has shown that for serially diluted polar liquids, e.g., water, alcohol and their solutions, vigorous shaking after each dilution step may alter their structure, physicochemical characteristics and bioactivity. The alterations may occur when the concentrations of the liquids drop below a solute dependent threshold concentration. Typically, the threshold concentrations are in the 10 -6 -10 -10 mol / liter range. In the current study, the ultraviolet absorption and emission spectra of such liquids are analyzed. The analyses are carried out within the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The analyses show that the spectra can be consistently explained by the QED model for serially diluted vigorously shaken polar liquids, developed by Yinnon and Yinnon [Int J Mod Phys B 25:3707-3743 (2011)].

“…Duval et al (2012) showed that the Landau-Placzek ratio, i.e., the ratio of the Rayleigh scattering intensity over the total Brillouin intensity, for SDVSAS of LiCl and for SDVSAS of sodium chloride (NaCl) depends non-monotonically on these liquids' NDS. Pershin et al (2015Pershin et al ( , 2016 demonstrated that for SDVSAS of potassium phenosan, the following variables were all found to depend non-monotonically on this liquid's NDS: the frequency of the center of the Raman scattering OH vibration band of its H 2 O, the Rayleigh line width in its four-wave mixing spectra, its integrated elastic scattering profile of 527-nm laser pulses, its fluctuation of the elastic-scattering coefficient and its optical activity. Kozumi and Kitagawa (2016) demonstrated that the aquaporin permeability of serially diluted, vigorously shaken water kept for 24 h in contact with ceramics nonmonotonically changes with the NDS.…”
