Hole burning of the N−D stretches of the deuterium-doped glycine hydrochloride results in holes and antiholes in the various regions of the spectrum. These can be assigned to various orientations of the NH2D+ moiety. Bands at about 800 cm-1 are probably the amino group rocks, but the other changing bands must arise from complex mixtures of the valence vibrations. The hole burning takes considerable time, on the order of 1 h, and puts most of the NH2D+ in the orientation of lowest energy.
