X-ray and neutron scattering studies of liquid formic acid DCOOD at various temperatures and under pressure
A structural investigation of fully deuterated liquid formic acid was performed by neutron scattering at pressure up to 3 kbar. The molecular pair correlation function was also deduced from x-ray study of DCOOD at ambient pressure and at 294 K. The results could be explained in terms of an open-chain structure with only two H bonds per molecule. The mean O ... O distance is about 2.72 Angstrom. The effect of both temperature and pressure on the hydrogen bond network is examined.
