Clusters of acrylonitrile in methanol/ethanol: A structure-spectra correlation by quantum chemical and polarized Raman study

► This paper deals with the Polarized Raman spectroscopic study of acrylonitrile and its hydrogen bonded complex with methanol and ethanol. ► Quantum chemical study of molecular interactions of acrylonitrile clusters with methanol and ethanol. ► Peak position and linewidth variation of ν(CN) stretching of acrylonitrile with concentration. ► Spectra-structure correlation.
