Spectral signature of a proton bridge ? Gas‐phase infrared spectra are reported in the range of 500–1800 cm −1 for three species with short, strong hydrogen bonds, namely the proton‐bound dimers of dimethyl ether (shown in the picture) and diethyl ether, and protonated 1,1′‐oxybis[2‐methoxyethane] (diglyme). The spectra are all quite similar, and furthermore they also strongly resemble the spectrum of the proton‐bound water dimer (H 5 O 2 + ), suggesting that there may be a conserved “spectral signature” for a proton bound between two oxygen atoms.
