Abstract
Raman spectra of solutions of LiBr in mixtures of acetonitrile and water of varying compositions are reported. The symmetric CH stretching and CN stretching bands of acetonitrile are used as probes to study the ion molecular interactions. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) and frequency shifts of the bands under consideration are analysed. Vibrational correlation functions for the CH 3 stretching mode are computed and vibrational relaxation times are evaluated for additional information. The results are explained on the basis of ion-molecular interactions in general and preferential solvation of Br − ions by water in particular.
