The spectral properties of four different crystalline succinic acid (HOOC-(CH2)(2)-COOH) (SAC) isotopomer systems, h(6), d(2), d(4) and d(6), were examined by means of the IR spectroscopy in polarized light aided by numerical simulations of the v(O-H) and v(O-D) band contour shapes on utilizing the "strong-coupling" model. The abnormal IR spectral properties of SAC crystals in relation to the corresponding properties of glutaric, pimelic and adipic acid crystals were ascribed to the hyperconjugation electronic effects in the acid associated molecules. A vibronic coupling mechanism involving the proton stretching vibrations in the (COOH)(2) cycles and the electronic motions in the molecular skeletons, the isotopic "HID self-organization" mechanisms and a long-distance vibrational exciton coupling between the adjacent (COOH)(2) cycles in the molecular chains are mainly responsible for the generation of the temperature effects in the crystalline IR spectra.
