The infrared and Raman spectra of histamine monohydrochloride and its N-deu
terated derivative as solid samples were recorded. The data obtained were a
nalyzed from the crystal structure. A general assignment of the fundamental
vibrational modes was proposed on the basis of the measured isotopic shift
s and correlations with previous data reported for imidazole and related mo
lecules. The results are consistent with the interactions between adjacent
molecules present in solid state. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
