Terahertz Absorption Spectroscopy of Benzamide, Acrylamide, Caprolactam, Salicylamide, and Sulfanilamide in the Solid State by Ye Jiang, Fengshan Zhou, Xiaodong Wen, Limin Yang, Guozhong Zhao, He Wang, Haiyan Wang, Yanjun Zhai, Jinguang Wu, Kexin Liu, Jia’er Chen

“…Terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of the similarly structured molecules with amide groups including benzamide, acrylamide, caprolactam, salicylamide, and sulfanilamide in the solid phase at room temperature and 7.8 K for salicylamide are reported and compared to infrared vibrational spectral calculations using density functional theory. The results of THz absorption spectra show that the molecules have characteristic bands in the region of 0.2–2.6 THz (~7–87 cm−1). …”
