Vibrational absorption, vibrational circular dichroism and theoretical studies of methyl lactate molecules in solution phase and in argon matrices
DownloadSpring 2011
The infrared vibrational absorption (VA) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of methyl lactate in carbon tetrachloride and methanol have been measured in the 1000-1800 cm-1 region. Noticeable changes due to the solute self-aggregation and solvent-solute intermolecular...
