The polarized crystal spectra of M2MnCl4•2X2O (M = Cs, Rb; X = H, D) have been measured at 10 K in the near-infrared region. The data have been analyzed using a local-mode model that includes the bending mode. The resulting parameters are related to hydrogen bonding in the crystals. The spectra of partially deuterated species show a large number of bands due to HOD vibrations. The parameters from these spectra are compared to those from the H2O and D2O spectra. Arguments as to the importance of Fermi resonance in these spectra are presented. Key words: near-infrared, single crystal, hydrogen bond, Fermi resonance.

Polarized near-infrared spectra of single crystals of CsMnCl3•2X2O (X = H, D) were recorded at 10 K. Those bands which could be assigned to O—H or O—D stretch overtones were analyzed using local-mode theory specifically adapted for systems having less than C2v symmetry. Both O—H oscillators form nearly linear hydrogen bonds to neighboring chloride ions at different distances. As a result, the local-mode harmonic frequency and anharmonicity parameters show characteristic shifts from their gas-phase values. The parameter values cover an unusually narrow range in this crystal, considering the spread in hydrogen-bond distances. Assignment of stretch overtone bands to specific oscillators in the crystal was made by using the polarization behavior expected of local modes in the oriented gas model. Several of the overtone bands show combinations with lattice modes or low-energy hydrogen-bond modes in unusual detail.

The fundamental and overtone vibrational spectra of Ba(NO2)2•X2O (X=H,D) have been interpreted using the local mode model. The calculated parameters are consistent with the structure, which has one strong hydrogen bond and one weak bifurcated hydrogen bond. Evidence for Fermi resonance between stretch and bend features having similar energies is discussed. Evidence for the breakdown of the simple Morse oscillator model, which was quite successful for [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds, is also presented. Keywords: overtone, spectra, near-infrared, hydrates, local-mode model.

Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...
