Slow monomer vibrations in formic acid dimer: Stepping up the ladder with FTIR and Raman jet spectroscopy

Abstract: In an effort to extend the cold gas phase spectroscopic database of the cyclic formic acid dimer (FAD), we present and analyze the jet-cooled vibrational infrared and Raman spectrum of (HCOOH)2 in the monomer fingerprint region between 600 and 1500 cm−1. The present study bridges the gap between the intermolecular dimerization-induced and the carbonyl stretching fundamentals that have already been reexamined using jet-cooled or high-resolution spectroscopy. This completes the characterization of the jet-cooled… Show more

“…For challenging vibrational assignments in the gas phase, it is helpful to probe the molecular complexes by both infrared and Raman spectroscopy, due to complementary intensities even in the absence of symmetry. We thus employ two linear but still sufficiently sensitive supersonic jet spectrometers 19 to record the OH infrared 26 and Raman 27 fingerprints of the mixed dimers and trimers formed by T and F.…”

“…As a substitute for pure coupled-cluster-quality quartic force fields, which are very expensive to compute, hybrid force fields with only MP2-level cubic and quartic force constants have proven themselves for modelling fundamental vibrational excitations of carboxylic acids and their clusters 14,19,[33][34][35] using second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2). 36,37 In this work, we combine CCSD(T)-F12a/VDZ-F12 [38][39][40] harmonic force constants, computed with Molpro version 2018, [41][42][43] with a semi-diagonal MP2/aVTZ 44,45 quartic force field (f i,j,k,l with four distinct indices missing), computed with Gaussian 16 Rev.…”

“…Since the harmonic frequencies are well described by the FAD-HDNNP, it is now appropriate to investigate the representation of mode couplings as a next step. A compact measure for the mode couplings near the equilibrium structure can be obtained from a comparison of the VPT2 frequencies computed using the PES with gas-phase experimental results 49,51,54,64,103 as well as direct ab initio results which are still feasible for FAD, although the computations are very demanding taking several weeks. The corresponding anharmonic fundamental transition frequencies are provided in Table 4.…”
