M. Baginsky et al., FOURIER-TRANSFORM INFRARED-SPECTROSCOPY .5. VIBRATIONAL STUDIES ON PHENANTHROLINE PERCHLORIC-ACID COMPLEXES, Vibrational spectroscopy, 7(3), 1994, pp. 231-242
Infrared spectra of phenanthrolines-perchloric acid hydrogen-bonded co
mplexes are discussed together with x-ray results and theoretical calc
ulations in order to verify the participation of ortho-hydrogens or or
tho-methyls of phenanthroline in the complex formation. The role of th
rough-bond and through-space contributions to hydrogen bonding is cons
idered.
