Y. Moritomo et al., ANOMALOUS PRESSURE EFFECTS ON THE RAMAN-SPECTRA IN HYDROGEN-BONDED MOLECULAR CHAIN SYSTEMS, The Journal of chemical physics, 101(3), 1994, pp. 1813-1819
Effects of hydrostatic pressure on the Raman spectra have been investi
gated for four kinds of 13-diketone crystals with hydrogen-bonded mole
cular chains. In all the crystals we studied, intense CO stretching Ra
man mode shows pressure-induced softening reflecting compression of th
e hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, application of pressure broadens the bo
th C=O and C-O stretching modes and intensifies several specific vibra
tional bands. We ascribed these spectral changes to formation or growt
h of the kink-type defects of the hydrogen-bonded sequence.
