Abstract

Molecular models of the interaction between triacetin and water molecules were built using the density functional theory (DFT) methods B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and wB97XD/6-311++(d,p). The thermodynamic parameters of association were calculated. The simulation of the IR absorption bands generated by the vibrations of hydrogen-bonded molecules of ordinary water and its deuterated analogue was performed, taking into account Fermi resonances and the formation of small water clusters. The theoretical data are compared with the experimental ones obtained by IR spectroscopy. [1]
