摘要: The vibrational dynamics of vacuum-isolated hydrogen-bonded complexes between water and the two simplest alcohols is characterized at low temperatures by Raman FTIR spectroscopy. Conformational preferences during adaptive aggregation, relative donor/acceptor strengths, weak secondary hydrogen bonding, tunneling processes in acceptor lone pair switching, thermodynamic anomalies are elucidated. ground state splitting methanol–water dimer predicted to be larger than 2.5 cm−1. Two types alcohol–water trimers identified from spectra. It shown that methanol ethanol better bond donors water, but even more so acceptors. As a consequence, induced red shifts OH modes behave non-linearly as function composition resulting cluster excess quantities correspond nicely bulk enthalpies room temperature. effects C–H⋯O bonds quantified case mixed ethanol–water dimers.
