Gaussian analysis of Raman spectroscopy of acetic acid reveals a significant amount of monomers that effectively cooperate with hydrogen bonded linear chains

What is it about?

Hydrogen bonding is one of the main types of interactions between molecules. It is not detectable directly by vibrational molecular spectroscopy but Its impact on the vibrational molecular spectroscopy can be identified.The interpretation of changes in Raman spectra due to hydrogen bonding is a challenging task and largely varied between different groups by using different methods. The problems or difficulties of interpretation of acetic acid structures involving hydrogen bonding was done in this paper by using a straightforward Gaussian analysis of Raman spectroscopy.
