Assignment of the vibrational spectra of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, LiOH·H2O

Abstract: The assignment of the vibrational spectra of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, LiOH·H(2)O, has been controversial for more than half-a-century. Here we show that only the combination of all three forms of vibrational spectroscopy: infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopies coupled with periodic-density functional theory calculations is able to satisfactorily assign the spectra. All previous work based on empirical criteria is, at least partially, incorrect. The librational modes of water do n… Show more

“…Assignment of the librational modes has long been recognised as problematic, 26,27 however, the combination of periodic-DFT and INS spectroscopy enables the modes to be observed and assigned. This approach has been previously used to assign the spectra of LiOH.H2O, 28 in this case the order of the modes was wag ≈ twist > rock, similar to that found here, but in clear contradiction to the order predicted by the moments of inertia: rock > wag > twist.…”

“…Ambient, Dryroom, and CO 2 NCA samples showed broad peaks centered at ∼3700-3745 cm −1 which are from the hydroxyl stretching mode of a LiOH · xH 2 O-type material. [38][39][40][41] The CO 3 Figure S3 (g-h) shows a decline in the magnitude of the 1576-1714 cm −1 peak after annealing at 150 • C, supporting that the peak is from water. The surfaces of the baseline materials may have also contained LiHCO 3 , but because of the similarities to the Li 2 CO 3 spectra, the presence of LiHCO 3 could not be conclusively determined.…”

“…This is consistent with the methyl groups not being involved in the bonding; in all three examples they project into vacant space in the structure. The modes due to the coordinated water molecules in the Cu and Cd compounds give rise to librational modes in the 400–900 cm −1 region [2931]. These are relatively weak and are readily assigned because they are shifted and much weaker in the D 2 O-containing samples.…”
