Raman Study of the Effect of NaClO4and NaI on the Hydrogen-Bonded Structure of Liquid NH3

Abstract
Recent studies1,2 of the Raman spectra of liquid ammonia have been in disagreement with regard to the assignment of bands in the 3000 cm−1 region. This region is complicated by Fermi resonance between the ν1 (A1) fundamental stretching mode and the 2ν4 (A1) overtone of the bending mode. In an effort to help clarify these assignments and to study further the structure of liquid ammonia, it was decided to measure the Raman spectrum of several salt solutions in liquid ammonia.
