Abstract
The x-ray structure of 8-aminoquinoline indicates that one of the NH b onds of the NH2 group forms a three-center hydrogen bond, the major co mponent being the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the minor component the intermolecular hydrogen bond. The IR and Raman spectra of 8-amino quinoline and of its N-deuterated counterpart reflect the non-equivale nce of the two NH(D) bonds and the weakness of the hydrogen bridge.
