Abstract :
We have studied the terahertz frequency spectra of a homologous organic series of tetraalkylammonium bromides to investigate how a systematic molecular change directly affects the spectral modes. The spectra overall show similar absorption features, with the modes shifting to lower frequencies as the molecular mass increases.
