23 Proton Transfer Parameter By examining values of the 14 N nuclear quadrupole coupling constant, χ cc, we are able to track the degree of proton release. NO 3 – HNO 3 HNO 3 - H 2 O HCOOH - HNO 3 Q PT HNO 3 - (H 2 O) 2 HNO 3 - N(CH 3 ) 3 100% 0% 23

24 Conclusions Like all good gophers, we tunnel Nitric acid – formic acid undergoes double proton transfer despite significant asymmetry in the hydrogen bonded structure. The splittings in the a-type spectra were two orders of magnitude smaller than those observed for related carboxylic acid dimers. Careful analysis of the moments of inertia yields excellent agreement with ab initio results, suggesting minimal delocalization. 24
