title: First observation of a dihydrogen bond involving the Si-H group in phenol-diethylmethylsilane clusters by infrared-ultraviolet double-resonance spectroscopy.
abstract: We have experimentally identified a dihydrogen bond involving the Si-H group in phenol-diethylmethylsilane (DEMS) clusters for the first time by IR-UV double-resonance spectroscopy. Vibrational shifts to lower frequency of 21-29 cm(-1) were found for the OH stretching vibration of three isomers of the phenol-DEMS clusters. Spectral simulations based on the MP2 calculations also support our observation. In addition to these clusters, dihydrogen bonds were also observed in the phenol-H(2)O-DEMS and (phenol)(2)-DEMS clusters, which exhibited much stronger interactions than the phenol-DEMS clusters.
