Abstract

"Absolute" intensities of the vOH IR bands of acid salts with linear, short and strong hydrogen bonds have been measured. The interrelations of spectral parameters, namely the intensification of the vOH as ΔA 1/2 ≡ A1/211 - A1/2O, the displacement of the vOH band as Δv = vO - vH and the increased frequency of the out-of-plane vibration τOH as Δτ2 = τ2H - τ2O (O and H denote spectral parameters of free and bonded OH groups respectively) were found to be close to those previously determined for the H-bond spectra in solutions. An estimation of the H-bond energy has been made according to logansen's correlations between spectral and thermodynamic parameters. An anomalous isotopic intensity ratio was found in the spectra of KH(D)C2O4 for the τOH band (AOH/AOD = 0.36) as well as for the vOH band (AOH/AOD = 2.7). The intensity ratios of vOH in the spectra of KH(D)(C6H5COO)2 and RbH(D)(CCl3COO)2 are close to the harmonic value AOH/AOD = (vOH/vOD)2 = 2.
