Anionic effects on Raman OD stretching spectra for alcoholic LiX solutions (X = Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4-, NO3-, and CH3COO-)

Raman OD stretching spectra of alcoholic LiX (X = Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4-, NO3-, and CH3COO-) solutions ( alcohols D methanol and ethanol) were measured in the liquid state at room temperature and in the glassy state at liquid nitrogen temperature. The effects of the anions on the Raman OD stretching spectra in these alcoholic solutions are investigated and the structural changes of the solutions are discussed. It is shown that the structure-breaking effects of anions on the intrinsic alcoholic structure increase in the order: Cl- < Br- < I- < ClO4-. From spectral changes, it seems that CH3COOLi exerts little effect on the liquid structure of the alcohol.
