“…(b) In other cases of cyclic crystalline systems, e.g., - hydrogen-bonded dimers, e.g., arylacetic acids − and styrylacetic acid
- hydrogen-bonded trimers, e.g., AceOxm ,
- hydrogen-bonded tetramers, e.g., 7-azaindole and 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-thione
the ν X–H bands are fairly similar to the corresponding spectra of the other group of crystals, i.e., those with open hydrogen-bond chains in their lattices (e.g., crystals diverse amides and thioamides, − 3- and 4-benzaldehyde, indole-3-carboxaldehyde and 3-acetylindole, acetic acid crystals). In this case, the ν X–H band contours can be treated as a “ mirror reflection ” of the corresponding band shapes of systems from point “a”.…”
