Abstract
Raman spectra of the formate anion in water (H2O and D2O) have been measured for four concentrations under ambient conditions and for two concentrations at temperatures ranging from 49 to 239 °C and a pressure of 10 MPa. Five of the six fundamental modes of vibration are polarized. This result is inconsistent with C2ν symmetry. The Fermi resonance doublet clearly results from the interaction of 2ν5 and ν1. The latter mode decreases in frequency as the temperature rises, thus increasing the coupling and hence the intensity of the 2ν5 component. The coupling constant, W, and the positions of the unperturbed bands [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been calculated. No evidence to support a bifurcated structure for the solvated anion was found.
