THE IR-SPECTRA OF N-METHYLACETAMIDE CHAIN ASSOCIATES

The vibrational frequencies of the N-methylacetamide chain complexes w ere computed using the perturbation theory. The amide modes of the hyd rogen-bonded n-mers were studied. The correlations among the resonance coupling interactions and the dispersion curves of the amide modes we re discussed. Comparison with experimental IR and Raman spectra on ami des aggregation in solution and in hydrocarbon matrix indicate that in formation about chain length and structure may be obtained.
