Theoretical simulation of the v(s) stretching band is presented for salicylalde-hyde taking into account an adiabatic coupling between the high-frequency O-H stretching and the low-frequency intramolecular O...O stretching modes, linear and quadratic distortions of the potential energy for the low-frequency vibration in the excited state of the O-H stretching vibration and resonance interaction between the O-H and the C-H stretching vibrations in the hydrogen-bonded ring.
