@article{6937, author = {J. Oomens and J. D. Steill}, title = {Free carboxylate stretching modes}, abstract = {We report the first IR spectroscopic observation of carboxylate stretching modes in free space, i.e., in the complete absence of solvent or counterions. Gas-phase spectra of a series of benzoate anions have been recorded and compared to condensed-phase spectra, revealing the profound influence of the environment on the symmetric and antisymmetric carboxylate stretch modes.}, year = {2008}, journal = {Journal of Physical Chemistry A}, volume = {112}, number = {15}, pages = {3281-3283}, month = {Apr}, isbn = {1089-5639}, url = {://000254883800001 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 286YWTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 24}, language = {English}, }
