Abstract

The structure of choline salts containing the anions acetate, {[}Chol]{[}Ac], and dihydrogen phosphate, {[}Chol] {[}DHP], were investigated by infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The chosen systems allow for the comparison of structural effects related to the bond acceptor characteristic of {[}Ac] and the simultaneous acceptor and donor characteristics of {[}DHP] in forming hydrogen bonds (H-bond) in salts of {[}Chol], which is itself prone to forming H-bonds. Different computational tools were used for the analysis of different spectral ranges. The calculation of the low-frequency range of Raman and INS spectra of the crystalline phases at low-temperatures by solid state DFPT (density functional perturbation theory) unveils the coupling between vibrations of the H-bonds and intramolecular modes. Changes observed in the spectral pattern of lattice and {[}DHP] modes upon heating crystalline {[}Chol]{[}DHP] are analogous to the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition known in the potassium salt of {[}DHP]. The fingerprint region of the vibrational spectra provides information concerning the {[}Chol] conformation in the solid phase (gauche in {[}Chol]{[}Ac] and anti in {[}Chol]{[}DHP]) and in aqueous solution. DFT calculations of ionic pairs and ionic clusters unveil the interplay between {[}Chol] conformation and the {[}DHP] ability to form H-bonded dimers of anions. The high-frequency spectral range and the structures driven by H-bonds are discussed using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The MD simulations of aqueous solutions highlight the strong anion-cation H-bond in {[}Chol]{[}Ac], in contrast to the strong anion-anion H-bond in {[}Chol]{[}DHP] due to occurrence of dimers and larger clusters of {[}DHP].
