Formation of Hydrogen Bonds; Hydroxyl and Methyl Groups Dynamics in 2,2-dimethylbutan-1-ol and 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol: DFT, IINS and IR Investigations

Dynamics of 2,2-dimethylbutan-1-ol and 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol have been studied by experimental spectroscopy methods, i.e., inelastic incoherent neutron scattering and infrared absorption. Experimental results were discussed and compared with the results of the quantum chemical calculations performed by semi-empirical PM3 and the density functional theory methods assuming the isolated molecule and dimer, trimer and tetramer clusters. The density functional theory modelling of vibrational spectra of monomers and OH bonded molecular clusters allows to assign the inter- and intermolecular vibrational modes observed in density of states and absorption spectra

IINS, MIR, and DFT Investigations of Vibrational Spectra of 3,3-Dimethyl-1-Butanol and 3,3-Dimethyl-2-Butanol

Molecular vibrational spectra in 3, 3-dimethyl-1-butanol, $(CH_3)_3$ $CCH_2CH_2OH$, and 3, 3-dimethyl-2-butanol, $(CH_3)_3CCHOHCH_3$, were measured by the inelastic incoherent neutron scattering and mid infrared spectroscopy and for 3, 3-dimethyl-2-butanol additionally by the far infrared absorption method. Experimental results were discussed and compared with the results of the quantum chemical calculations performed by the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP/6-311G**) and semi-empirical PM3 calculation methods assuming the isolated molecule approximation
