Abstract
The Raman spectra of DMF-water/heavy water binary solutions at different volume ratios are measured to investigate the hydrogen bond structure between N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water/heavy water. It was observed that when VDMF below 40 %, DMF reinforces the hydrogen bond among water molecules through the substitution of a small amount of water molecules within the tetrahedral structure. However, a similar enhancement phenomenon is not observed in heavy water. When VDMF is less than 60 %, the hydrogen bonds among DMF and heavy water molecules affect the symmetry of OD covalent bond. Furthermore, as VDMF exceeds 40 %/60 %, the tetrahedral structures of water and heavy water are gradually replaced by DMF·3H2O/3D2O, DMF·2H2O/2D2O, and DMF·H2O/D2O clusters. The transition point of hydrogen bond structure in DMF- aqueous solution moved to VDMF = 15 % under the influence of under the influence of dynamic high pressure caused by pulsed laser beam. This study provides valuable insights into the microstructure of water/heavy water clusters.
