Abstract
Building on recent progress in the vibrational spectroscopy of the formic acid trimer, we present the first high-resolution measurements of the jet-cooled laser absorption spectrum of (HCOOH)3. The spectra of the lowest- and highest-frequency C-O stretching fundamentals are analyzed whereas the third band is not observed, complicated by monomer and dimer absorptions at 1219 cm-1 (8.2 μm). Vibration-rotation parameters are obtained for the band at 1172.31512(68) cm-1 whereas the C-O stretch at 1246.33(5) cm-1 exhibits a significantly larger breadth, allowing only resolution of the coarse PQR structure. Vibrational predissociation can be ruled out, and intramolecular vibrational redistribution mechanisms are discussed, particularly coupling to the concerted proton exchange within the cyclic dimer subunit. Ultimately, the question remains open. The prospects of high-resolution measurements of other trimer bands or isotope substitution experiments, which might assist in revealing the mode-specificity of the underlying broadening mechanisms, are discussed.

Abstract
Although it is well known that hydrogen bonds commonly exist in ammonia clusters and play an important role, there are still many challenges in understanding the electronic structure properties of hydrogen bonds. In this paper, the geometric and electronic structure properties of cyclic ammonia clusters are investigated by using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). The calculation results show that the pentamer and hexamer have deviated from the perfect plane, while the trimer and tetramer present planarization that has been confirmed by infrared (IR) spectra. The electronic structure analysis further shows that the covalent properties play a non-negligible role in hydrogen bonding. The results also indicate that the electronic structure facilitates structure planarization. Our work not only provides insight into the role and nature of hydrogen bonds in ammonia clusters but also provides a theoretical basis for frontier science in fields such as atmospheric haze and biomolecular functions.
