In contrast to the popular application of a uniform scaling factor, the local chemical structure of the alcohol is taken into account to greatly improve accuracy. Interestingly, different correction patterns emerge for results of hybrid density functional (B3LYP-D3 and PBE0-D3) and wave-function-based methods (SCS-LMP2, LCCSD(T )-F12a and CCSD(T)-F12a 1D). This raises questions about electronic structure deficiencies in these methods and differences in anharmonicity between alcohols. After its initial construction on the basis of literature assignments the model is tested with Raman jet spectroscopy of propargyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, borneol, isopinocampheol and 2-methylbutan-2-ol. For propargyl alcohol a spectral splitting attributed to tunneling is resolved. PBE0-D3 is identified as a well performing and broadly affordable electronic structure method for this model. A mean absolute error of 1.3 cm −1 and a maximum absolute error of 3 cm −1 result for 46 conformers of 24 alcohols in a 60 cm −1 range, when a single parameter is adjusted separately for each alcohol substitution class (methanol, primary, secondary, tertiary)."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/D1CP00342A"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/86816"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-425"],["dc.relation.eissn","1463-9084"],["dc.relation.issn","1463-9076"],["dc.title","Predicting OH stretching fundamental wavenumbers of alcohols for conformational assignment: different correction patterns for density functional and wave-function-based methods"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Analogous experiments with enantiopure trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol reveal the spectral signature of at least three unsymmetric homochiral dimers. A comparison to signal-enhanced spectra of 1,2-ethanediol and to calculations uncovers at least three transiently homochiral dimer contributions as well. In few of these dimer structures, the intramolecular OH⋯O contact present in monomeric 1,2-diols survives, despite the kinetic control in supersonic jet expansions. This provides further insights into the dimerisation mechanism of conformationally semi-flexible molecules in supersonic jets. Racemisation upon dimerisation is shown to be largely quenched under jet cooling conditions, whereas it should be strongly energy-driven at higher temperatures. The pronounced energetic preference for heterochiral aggregation of vicinal diols is also discussed in the context of chirality-induced spin selectivity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/c9cp04943f"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1463-9084"],["dc.identifier.issn","1463-9076"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/82335"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation.eissn","1463-9084"],["dc.relation.issn","1463-9076"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Physikalische Chemie"],["dc.rights","CC BY 3.0"],["dc.title","The reduced cohesion of homoconfigurational 1,2-diols"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
