Infrared bandshapes of intramolecularly H-bonded systems, 2,4,6-tribromophenol

Abstract A detailed quantitative analysis of the IR bandshape of the ν S (OH) vibration of 2,4,6-tribromophenol in a series of solvents of varying polarity is presented. A distinct dependence of band parameters on solvent polarity has been found. Various contributions to the bandshape are discussed.

Infrared bandshapes of intramolecularly H-bonded systems—III. Vibrational dephasing of vs (OH) in 2,6-dichlorophenol

Abstract The shape of the v s (OH) absorption band of intramolecularly H-bonded 2,6-dichlorophenol was measured in a series of solvents of increasing polarity and quantitatively analyzed. A distinct dependence of band positions, shape parameters, band moments, integrated intensities, correlation functions and correlation times on the polarity of solvent has been found. Vibrational dephasing due to dipole—dipole interactions seems to be an important relaxation pathway determining the bandshape in the studied systems.

Solvent dependence of the νs(OD) bandshape in 2,6-dichlorophenol

Abstract The infrared bandshape of νs(OD) of 2,6-dichlorophenol is measured in a series of solvents of increasing polarity, and is quantitatively analysed. The bandshape is described in terms of band indices, moments, correlation functions and correlation times. A distinct solvent dependence of bandshape and relaxation parameters has been found. The changes of the νs(OD) bandshape with increasing solvent polarity are compared in detail with those obtained earlier for analogous solvents for νs(OH) of 2,6-dichlorophenol. The overall behaviour of the spectral and relaxation parameters is similar, but the changes are less distinct for the weaker OD ⋯ Cl bond.

Vibrational dephasing of νs (OH) in 2,4-dichlorophenol

Abstract A quantitative analysis of the infrared bandshape of ν s (OH) in intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded 2,4-dichlorophenol in a series of solvents is presented. A distinct dependence of bandshape indices and relaxation parameters on the polarity of solvent has been found. The band shifts to lower wavenumbers, broadens and becomes more intense with increasing solvent polarity; correspondingly, the correlation function decays faster and the correlation time diminishes. The results are compared with those for previously studied systems. Factors influencing the bandshape are discussed.
