Vapor phase near infrared spectroscopy of the hydrogen bonded methanol-trimethylamine complex

J Phys Chem A. 2006 Aug 10;110(31):9597-601. doi: 10.1021/jp061547o.

Abstract

The spectroscopy of the vapor phase hydrogen bonded complex formed between methanol and trimethylamine has been studied in the near-infrared region. A combination band involving one quantum of OH stretch and one quantum of COH bend has been observed for the complex. The much less intense first OH-stretching overtone transition has been tentatively assigned. This assignment is supported by anharmonic oscillator local mode calculations.
