Abstract:
Raman and thermo-Raman spectroscopy have been applied to study the natural hydrotalcite manasseite Mg(6)Al(2)(OH)(16)(CO(3)).4H(2)O. Hydrogen bond distances calculated using a Libowitzky-type empirical function varied between 2.61 and 3.00A. Stronger hydrogen bonds were formed by water units as compared to the hydroxyl units. Thermo-Raman spectroscopy enabled the identification of bands attributed to the hydroxyl units. Two Raman bands at 1062 and 1058 cm(-1) are assigned to symmetric stretching modes of the carbonate anion. Thermal treatment shifts these bands to higher wavenumbers indicating a change in the carbonate bonding.

IR and UV–Vis Spectroscopy of Carboxylic Acids
However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
