Intermolecular Coupling of Water Molecules in Copper Chloride Dihydrate

Polarized and unpolarized infrared spectra have been obtained for copper chloride dihydrate samples, containing low mole ratios of H2O and D2O. The positions of the absorption bands of these samples are shown to differ from those of samples, containing high percentages of these same molecules. The s...

Description
Summary:Polarized and unpolarized infrared spectra have been obtained for copper chloride dihydrate samples, containing low mole ratios of H2O and D2O. The positions of the absorption bands of these samples are shown to differ from those of samples, containing high percentages of these same molecules. The spectral differences noted are shown to be related to the interactions between water molecules in the solid. Furthermore, a criterion is provided for sensing a variation of hydrogen bond strength with deuteration, and the origin of bands in the ν2 overtone regions of H2O, D2O, and HOD is also considered.
