title: Gaussian analysis of Raman spectroscopy of acetic acid reveals a significant amount of monomers that effectively cooperate with hydrogen bonded linear chains.
abstract: Gaussian analysis of Raman spectroscopy reveals three significant structures in the liquid acetic acid (AA): linear chains involving C-H···O=C and O-H···O=C hydrogen bonding, cyclic dimers and dissociated monomers that can effectively cooperate with hydrogen bonded stacks of linear AA or polymer chains.
