Abstract

Infrared spectra of dimethyl oxalate isolated in low-temperature argon matrix and of the compound in the solid amorphous and crystalline state are reported. The experimental observations are interpreted in terms of a large amplitude, low frequency vibration along the torsional coordinate OC–CO. Assumption of the large amplitude vibration allows consistent explanation of the spectra observed in matrixes and in the gas phase, and the differences between these and the spectrum of the compound in the crystalline state, in which the planar trans structure is fixed. IR spectra of crystalline dimethyl oxalate clearly show that in the relaxed crystal lattice only the trans form is populated. Davydov splitting, due to the presence of two molecules per unit cell, was observed for several bands in the IR spectrum of the crystalline compound.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
