Raman and infrared study of solid benzyl alcohol

Abstract: Raman and infrared spectra of solid benzyl alcohol and two partially deuterated homologues are reported for the first time. The internal vibrational modes and lattice modes of benzyl alcohol are assigned on the basis of isotopic wavenumber shifts. The spectra of solid benzyl alcohol at low temperatures are shown to be consistent with an ordered noncentrosymmetric structure, with at least four molecules in the unit cell.

“…The CACl in-plane bending vibrations are assigned at 226 cm À1 in Raman spectrum, which agrees well with the calculated value of 227 cm À1 with B3LYP method (scaled). These assigned modes are in agreement with the literature data [30,31].…”

“…Some authors have presented evidence of extended structures, 85,86 but others have claimed that benzyl alcohol only forms dimers 87 or that the interaction between aromatic groups is responsible for any cluster since only a small fraction of the OH groups participates in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. 88 While there is not a clear answer from the literature, if one considers the steric size of the phenyl group, it is plausible that benzyl alcohol contains smaller hydrogen bonded clusters or fewer clusters compared to the five alcohols that fail to form stable glasses. Based on the experiments in this study, we hypothesize that benzyl alcohol glasses exhibit significantly enhanced surface mobility while the five other alcohols do not.…”

“…Of these bands, the band at 1551 cm 1 has appeared characteristically strong in the IR and Raman spectra. These force constant values, on comparison with those of the related molecules, 27,28 are found to deviate approximately by one unit. 26 The in-plane ring vibrations have given rise to weak bands across the low wavenumber region, that is, below 1000 cm 1 .…”
