Infrared spectra of crystalline complexes of N-methylacetamide (CH3CONHCH3) and of its ND analog with alcaline perchlorates, tetrabutylammonium halogenides, and alcaline halogenides have been investigated in NH stretching (3500–3050 cm−1), CO stretching (amide I, 1750–1500 cm−1), and NH bending (800–400 cm−1) regions. Possible structures for the complexes are proposed and the non-planarity of the amide group is discussed.
