Lattice Dynamics of Molecular Crystals and Weak Chemical Interactions: Investigation using Raman Spectroscopy Methods shows how to fully exploit the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy in weak chemical interactions in molecular crystals, presenting the concept of weak chemical interactions based on experimental study of a wide class of molecular crystals. Primarily written for physical and organic chemists, scientists, and engineers involved in crystal engineering and the synthesis and design of molecular crystals and crystalline structures containing weak chemical interactions, this book is also ideal for anyone investigating lattice dynamics probed by Raman spectroscopy, including a diverse range of chemists and physicists.
Provided information on the temperature dependence of the parameters of vibrational modes makes it possible to obtain information on the potential of intermolecular interaction, the degree of its anharmonicity, the orientational mobility of molecules in a crystal, structural phase transitions, and the behavior of a proton on a hydrogen bond.
