“…Sandorfy et al (4,5) and Lord and McDowell (3,6,7) made this observation with Et3NHX, and Ebsworth and Sheppard (8) with Me,NDI, some 25 years ago. The studies that have been published since, both on triethylammonium (10,11,14,21,22), trimethylammonium (9,(23)(24)(25), and higher trialkylammonium (21) halides bear witness to the continued interest in this phenomenon, and are not confined to the simple halides but include other alkylammonium salts as well (12,13). The complex NH and ND stretching absorptions persist, with band sharpening and increased detail, down to liquid-helium temperature (3,6) and are observed also in solution spectra of these salts (9-11, 14, 21, 22).…”
