✦ Synopsis


Infrared absorption spectra of 5-bromo-9-hydroxyphenalenone were measured and analyzed in detail as a function of temperature. An intense and broad peak at 83 cm 21 occurring in the protonated crystal, but not in the deuterated analog, arises from the coherent tunneling motion of the hydrogen in the intramolecular hydrogen bond. Strong temperature dependence of the frequency and width of the tunneling peak determined by fitting the Gaussian or Lorentzian peak shape function is reproduced well by three-parameter functions representing the thermal population of the excited state of the tunneling proton.

Using low-temperature UV, 1 H and 15 N NMR spectroscopy, we studied the easily polarizable bond of the labeled Mannich base[ 15 N] 2-(N,Ndiethylaminomethyl)-3,4,6-trichlorophenol (Cl 3 MB) dissolved in dichloromethane and in a 2 : 1 mixture of CDF 3 and CDClF 2 . Whereas at high temperature the mol
