High Pressure Spectroscopic Investigation on Proton Transfer in Squaric Acid and 4,4′-Bipyridine Co-crystal

Abstract In attempt to the obtain detailed geometric information of proton transfer compound (subsequently denote as SQBP) formed between squaric acid (SQ)and 4,4′-bipyridine(BP), and to investigate the mechanisms of pressure-induced double proton transfer and related structural phase transition, we...
