Abstract

Far-infrared absorption spectroscopy is used to investigate the low frequency ({center_dot} 100 cm{sup -1}) intermolecular interactions in liquid methanol. Using an intense source of far-infrared radiation, modes are elucidated at approximately 30 cm{sup -1} and 70 cm{sup -1} in the absorption spectrum. These modes are believed to arise from intermolecular bending and librational motions respectively and are successfully reproduced in an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of methanol.

The Influence of Chain Dynamics on the Far Infrared Spectrum of Liquid Methanol-Water Mixtures

Technical Report Woods, K N ; /Stanford U., Phys. Dept. ; Wiedemann, H ; ...

Far-infrared absorption spectroscopy has been used to study the low frequency ({center_dot} 100 cm{sup -1}) intermolecular modes of methanol in mixtures with water. With the aid of a first principles molecular dynamics simulation on an equivalent system, a detailed understanding about the origin of the low frequency IR modes has been established. The total dipole spectrum from the simulation suggests that the bands appearing in the experimental spectra at approximately 55 cm{sup -1} and 70 cm{sup -1} in methanol and methanol-rich mixtures arise from both fluctuations and torsional motions occurring within the methanol hydrogen-bonded chains.

The effect of hydrogen bonding on torsional dynamics: A combined far-infrared jet and matrix isolation study of methanol dimer

Journal Article Kollipost, F. ; Heger, M. ; Suhm, M. A. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The effect of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding on torsional degrees of freedom is investigated by far-infrared absorption spectroscopy for different methanol dimer isotopologues isolated in supersonic jet expansions or embedded in inert neon matrices at low temperatures. For the vacuum-isolated and Ne-embedded methanol dimer, the hydrogen bond OH librational mode of the donor subunit is finally observed at ∼560 cm{sup −1}, blue-shifted by more than 300 cm{sup −1} relative to the OH torsional fundamental of the free methanol monomer. The OH torsional mode of the acceptor embedded in neon is observed at ∼286 cm{sup −1}. The experimental findings are heldmore »« less

First-principles study of the infrared spectrum in liquid water from a systematically improved description of H-bond network

Journal Article Xu, Jianhang ; Chen, Mohan ; Zhang, Cui ; ... - Physical Review B

An accurate ab initio theory of the H-bond structure of liquid water requires a high-level exchange correlation approximation from density functional theory. Based on the liquid structures modeled by ab initio molecular dynamics by using maximally localized Wannier functions as a basis, we study the infrared spectrum of water within the canonical ensemble. In particular, we employ both the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the state-of-the-art meta-GGA level approximation provided by the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) functional. We demonstrate that the SCAN functional improves not only the water structure but also the theoreticalmore »« less

Far-infrared vibration--rotation-tunneling spectroscopy of Ar--NH sub 3 : Intermolecular vibrations and effective angular potential energy surface

Journal Article Schmuttenmaer, C A ; Cohen, R C ; Loeser, J G ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics; (USA)

Two new intermolecular vibration--rotation-tunneling (VRT) bands of Ar--NH{sub 3} have been measured using tunable far infrared laser spectroscopy. We have unambiguously assigned these and a previously measured FIR band (Gwo {ital et} {ital al}., Mol. Phys. {bold 71}, 453 (1990)) as {Pi}(1{sub 0}, {ital n}=0){l arrow}{Sigma}(0{sub 0}, {ital n}=0), {Sigma}(1{sub 0}, {ital n}=0){l arrow}{Sigma}(0{sub 0}, {ital n}=0), and {Sigma}(0{sub 0}, {ital n}=1){l arrow}{Sigma}(0{sub 0}, {ital n}=0). The three upper states of these are found to be strongly mixed by anisotropy and Coriolis effects. A simultaneous least squares fit of all transitions has yielded vibrational frequencies, rotational and centrifugal distortion constants,more »« less

IR and SFG vibrational spectroscopy of the water bend in the bulk liquid and at the liquid-vapor interface, respectively

Journal Article Ni, Yicun ; Skinner, J. L. - Journal of Chemical Physics

Vibrational spectroscopy of the water bending mode has been investigated experimentally to study the structure of water in condensed phases. In the present work, we calculate the theoretical infrared (IR) and sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectra of the HOH bend in liquid water and at the water liquid/vapor interface using a mixed quantum/classical approach. Classical molecular dynamics simulation is performed by using a recently developed water model that explicitly includes three-body interactions and yields a better description of the water surface. Ab-initio-based transition frequency, dipole, polarizability, and intermolecular coupling maps are developed for the spectral calculations. The calculated IR and SFGmore »« less
