Vibrational Spectroscopy of Secondary Amine Salts: 1. Assignment of NH₂⁺Stretching Frequencies in Crystalline Phases

Abstract

The NH(2)(+) stretching modes of secondary amine salts have been previously studied, but the band assignments are inconsistent between the various studies. This paper assigns characteristic NH(2)(+) group frequencies between approximately 2500 and 2400 cm(-1). Crystal structures of four diamine salts are reported here. Vibrational frequencies were calculated with the B3LYP hybrid Hartree-Fock/density functional method and the 6-31G(d) split-valence plus polarization basis set, and the results are in agreement with the experimental frequencies. Deuterium dilution experiments result in a group of sharply featured bands between the NH(2)(+) and the ND(2)(+) stretching bands. These bands, located between 2200 and 2100 cm(-1), are attributed to modes that contain contributions from coupled N-H and N-D stretching motions.

“…In addition, it was proposed the theoretical model of complex Ag‐MBC based on the hybrid functional B3LYP calculation with base LanL2DZ. No scaling factor was used because studies showed that the frequency deviations are less than 5% to experimental frequencies …”

“…In this way, a broad band at ca. 2380 cm À1 is observed, which can be assigned to an overlap of N-H þ 2 stretching modes of secondary amines of the peptide chain [81] and S-H stretching mode of cysteines located at ca. 2500 cm À1 [82] (see Fig.…”

“…94 Our calculations rule out the assignment of the ν[NH 2 ] modes to the features commonly occurring between approximately 2500 and 2400 cm −1 in the IR spectra. 94 Figure 4 shows convincingly that these bands stem from anharmonicity, most likely corresponding to difference bands captured by the simulations at the higher temperatures, where excitations of low-energy phonons also play a role.…”
