Abstract:
Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) is usually governed by surface-selective signals of dipole origin, but it can also contain some bulk signals of quadrupole origin. In this work, we examined the dipole and quadrupole contributions in the C═O stretching band of organic carbonate liquids with collaboration of heterodyne SFG measurement and theoretical analysis. As a result, we found that these spectra are substantially affected by the quadrupole contribution of the bulk, which resolved the discrepancy between the experimental and computational SFG spectra.

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,...
