PROTONATED CARBONYL GROUPS: IV. N,N-DIMETHYLACETAMIDE SALTS
The infrared spectra of N,N-dimethylacelamide salts have been recorded and are consistent with protonation at the oxygen atom, vOH is between 2 095 and 3 360 cm−1 depending on the anion. The average value of the two components of the OH in-plane hydrogen-bending mode, δOH, is 1 253 cm−1 (splitting of about 147 cm−1 due to correlation field effects). The out-of-plane hydrogen-deformation mode occurs at 928 to 761 cm−1 depending on the salt. The 1 680 and 1 400 cm−1 bands which are present in all the salts are associated chiefly with stretching the CN and CO bonds respectively, in the OCN group, though it is likely that the vibrations are somewhat mixed.Some salts of complex acids are of the 2 base: 1 acid variety with very strong broad absorption centered near 900 cm−1, containing sharp transmission windows.
