Abstract

Alpha-keto acids are environmentally and biologically relevant species whose chemistry has been shown to be influenced by their local environment. Vibrational spectroscopy provides useful ways to probe the potential inter- and intramolecular interactions available to them in several phases. We measure and compare the IR spectra of 2-oxo-octanoic acid (2OOA) in the gas phase, solid phase, and at the air–water interface. With theoretical support, we assign many of the vibrational modes in each of the spectra. In the gas phase, two types of conformers are identified and distinguished, with the intramolecularly H-bonded form being the dominant type, while the second conformer type identified does not have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The van der Waals interactions between molecules in solid 2OOA manifest C–H and CO vibrations lower in energy than in the gas phase and we propose an intermolecular hydrogen bonding scheme for the solid phase. At the air–water interface the hydrocarbon tails of 2OOA do interact with each other while the carbonyls appear to interact with water in the subphase, but not with neighboring 2OOA as might be expected of a closely packed surfactant film.

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.
