Fermi resonance and conformation in glycolaldehyde particles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The infrared spectra of gas-phase glycolaldehyde and small glycolaldehyde particles both exhibit a split carbonyl band around 1730 cm 1 . Ab initio calculations show that this splitting can be traced back to a Fermi resonance involving the C=O-stretching band and the first overtone of the CC-stretching band. The analysis of this resonance leads to detailed information about the conformation of glycolaldehyde in the particles. The results can be summarized as follows. (i) In the particles, monomers with OCCO dihedral angles of 0° and CCOH dihedral angles around 50° are strongly preferred. (ii) The intramolecular hydrogen bond observed in the gas phase is partly replaced by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. (iii) The calculated infrared spectrum and the results from the Fermi resonance analysis are in good agreement with the formation of long chains of monomeric glycolaldehyde. This is in contrast to the solid bulk, which consists of chemically bound dimers. Key words: Fermi resonance, conformation, glycolaldehyde particles, hydroxyacetone particles, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
