Solvation of a chiral carboxylic acid: effects of hydrogen bonding on the IR and VCD spectra of α-methoxyphenylacetic acid
Literature Information
Karoline Bünnemann, Christian Merten
Strong hydrogen bonding to solvent molecules can significantly alter the IR and VCD spectra of a chiral solute. This can be particularly troublesome for the determination of absolute configurations, as all spatial configurations of solute–solvent clusters need to be considered explicitly in spectra calculations. With this contribution, we aim to derive general guidelines for the explicit solvation of carboxylic acids, and characterize the solute–solvent interactions of the model compound α-methoxyphenylacetic acid (MPAA) in organic solvents of different polarity. We show that, in the typical concentration range employed for VCD studies, MPAA prefers the formation of dimers in chloroform. In the other investigated solvents (acetonitrile, methanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide), hydrogen bonded solute–solvent clusters have to be considered explicitly for the spectral analysis. We discuss the origin of the solvent dependence of the VCD spectra of MPAA in detail, show which vibrational modes are most strongly affected, and that the spectral response correlates with the hydrogen bonding strength.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
