title: Vibrational overtone spectra of chloroanilines--evidence for intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o-chloroaniline.
abstract: The near infrared vibrational overtone absorption spectra of liquid phase aniline and chloroanilines are reported. The analysis of the observed CH and NH local mode mechanical frequency values shows that intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between NH2 group and chlorine atom in o-chloroaniline. This observation supports the conclusion drawn from microwave spectroscopic studies reported earlier.
