Abstract
The assignment of the hydrogen bonded O-H stretch vibration in the proline matrix IR spectrum has sparked controversy. Employing constrained nuclear electronic orbital methods, we provide a clear assignment that the vibrational frequency drops to near 3000 cm-1 as a result of the interplay between electronic effects, nuclear quantum effects, and matrix effects.
