Area of Science:

  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Chemical Physics

Background:

  • Sulfuric acid and trimethylamine are relevant to atmospheric chemistry.
  • Proton transfer is expected between strong bases like trimethylamine and sulfuric acid.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the infrared spectra of matrix-isolated trimethylamine-sulfuric acid complexes.
  • To understand the role of water in stabilizing these complexes.

Main Methods:

  • Matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy.
  • Analysis of spectral features to identify complex structures and proton transfer.

Main Results:

  • Formation of an ionic trimethylamine-sulfuric acid complex via proton transfer.
  • Complex stabilization by multiple water molecules, forming a Zundel-like ion.
  • Identification of bisulfate and hydrated sulfate species.

Conclusions:

  • Trimethylamine and sulfuric acid form ionic complexes in the presence of water.
  • Water significantly stabilizes the ionic complex through hydration.
  • The observed spectra suggest a complex interplay of hydrogen bonding and proton transfer.
