Abstract

We investigated the Fourier transform microwave spectra of the hydrated forms of N-methylformamide (NMF) in a supersonic expansion and assigned the rotational spectra of two mono-hydrated species. The conformation of each molecular complex was reliably determined on the basis of the values of the rotational constants, of the relative intensities of μa- and μb-type transitions, and of the features of the 14N quadrupole hyperfine structure of the rotational transitions. In both complexes water acts as a proton donor and NMF has a trans configuration of the peptidic group. In the most stable of these conformers, water is also weakly bound to the methyl group.

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.
