title: Concerted proton motion in hydrogen-bonded trimers: a spontaneous Raman scattering perspective.
abstract: Raman active symmetric O-H stretching modes are detected and assigned for the first time in isolated methanol, ethanol and methyl lactate trimers, providing insights into cluster structure, vibrational assignments and hydrogen-bond mediated couplings.
