Abstract:We have investigated vibrational dynamics of hydrogen-bonded complexes in solutions by sub-picosecond infrared (IR) pump-probe spectroscopy. The anharmonic coupling between the OH stretching mode of benzoic acid dimer and low-frequency mode was studied from analysis of the quantum beat observed in the pump-probe signal. The IR absorption spectrum of 9-fluorenone (FL) in alcohol shows three distinct contributions from the free FL, its complex with one alcohol molecule, and that with two molecules. The time cons… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
