Abstract
The stretching vibrations of the -CH3 and -CH2- groups not only overlap but also interfere with each other in the Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG) vibrational spectra of the air/ethanol interface. Using deuterated ethanol samples, i.e., CH3CD2OH and CD3CH2OH, the C-H stretching vibrational modes are clearly assigned for the SFG vibrational spectra of their air/liquid interfaces according to the polarization selection rules. It is found that the CH3-ss and CH2-ss modes overlap in the ∼2875 cm-1 peak, the CH3-as and CH2-ss-Fermi modes overlap in the ∼2970 cm-1 peak, and the ∼2930 cm-1 peak belongs to the CH3-ss-Fermi mode, respectively.
