Intermolecular Proton Bond (IPB)
• Refers to the interaction between the electronegative atoms of two closed-shell molecules sandwiching an excess proton (H+).

What is the relationship between
ΔPA and νIPB?
How about for ΔPA =0?

Motivation
• Most of the experimental literatures do speculate the coupling between IPB and flanking group motions.
– A theoretical study can shed light on the extent of these interactions.

StratagemDimensionality Aspect
• Insights from One-Dimensional Treatment– The effective scan range
• Insights from Two-Dimensional Treatment – Modes that couple
• Insights from Higher-Dimensional Treatment– Cumulative effect of other modes on IPB stretch
11
StrategyMethod of Finite Difference:• For a one-dimensional problem we have:
Where, 𝜇𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒 1 is the reduced mass for normal mode 1 𝑞𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒 1 is the coordinate associated with normal mode 1

(MeOH)2H+
F ig. 1 Mixing of the fi rst exci ted states of IPB st re tching mode w i th out phase C-O st re tching mode (upper row ) and f ree O-H bending ( low er row ). Due to a near ly 45° t i l t ing of nodal planes, i t is possible to make an assignment f rom the w avef unc t ions topology. T he co lored contour refe rs to the corresponding PES and the color map values are in te rms of atomic uni t s.
Assignment may NOT easy with Normal Mode Coordinates
IPB Stretch will be based on the larger oscillator strength

Motivation
• It is well known that Ar tagging do affect the stretching frequency of free O-H.
• How about the IPB bond? • Is Ar really innocent?

Take Home Messages• Intermolecular Proton Bond (IPB) indeed could strongly couple with
some of the flanking group motions.
• Our isotope studies w/ (MeOD)2D+ predicts that coupling will be lessened and a clean spectrum is obtained. Opens for expt. validation
• Argon tagging perturbs the modes of (MeOH)2H+
– IPB is sensitive with the environment– Perhaps studies tagged by He, Ne and other messengers can help us to
understand IPB’s sensitivity with the environment.• Isotope substitution, messenger tagging are useful weapons in resolving the
nature of IPB’s coupling.
