Abstract

An extensive spectral assignment of the 𝝂𝑺-𝑯 bands of H2S clusters up to tetramer in argon matrix have been carried out. Spectral bands within 2615-2651 cm-1 spectral range, which has hitherto been accepted as vibration-rotation transitions, have been assigned to clusters of different sizes along with π‚πŸ and π‚πŸ‘ bands of monomer. Spectral shifts have been found to increase monotonically with size of cyclic clusters confirming cooperative nature of S–H‧‧‧S H-bond.
