We suggest the following simplified protocol to predict hydrogen-bond-induced redshifts of donor OH-stretching fundamentals in pure and mixed dimers of monofunctional, reasonably unstrained, aliphatic alcohols: i) Construct a Wang et al. AMBER force field (parm99.dat) with standard settings for Lennard-Jones interactions, in which the OH hydrogen atoms carry a charge of +0.42 e and the oxygen atoms carry a charge of -0.68 e. ii) Add -0.03 e to each oxygen for each alkyl substituent on its adjacent C atom and subtract -0.03 e if there is no such substituent (i.e. in the case of methanol). iii) Set all other atomic charges to zero except for the C atoms adjacent to O, which carry the charge required for monomer electro-neutrality. iv) Minimize the dimer structure and compare its harmonic donor OH stretching mode with that of the isolated donor molecule. The result is predicted to be close to the experimental anharmonic redshift in the dimer, relative to a monomer of the same conformation. It may be used to guide and assist experimental assignments. If absolute wavenumbers are to be predicted, the Wang et al. AMBER OH force constant of the monomer may be slightly adjusted to reproduce the experimental monomer value. Dimers tested: methanol dimer, ethanol dimer, 1-octanol dimer, 2-propanol dimer, 3-pentanol dimer, tert-butyl alcohol dimer, tert-butyldimethylcarbinol dimer, 1-adamantanol dimer, 2-adamantanol dimer, methanol-tert-butyl alcohol dimer, methanol-1-adamantanol dimer, methanol-1-octanol dimer and 2-adamantanol-1 adamantanol dimer.
