a: limited to the description of strong vibrational modes of the studied molecule and the reported vibrational modes are those of the studied molecule in gas phase although many descriptions are identical in the two media (in gas and water).
b: , , and , stretching (simple, symmetric, and asymmetric); : in plane bending (simple, scissoring); : out of plane bending (twisting, overtone, wagging, deformation); : rocking.
