- FTIR spectra of methanol trapped in an Ar matrix were registered during gradual heating of the sample. The spectral changes observed in these experiments indicate a transformation from isolated methanol monomers to small hydrogen-bonded clusters, allowing us to consider such experiments as an experimental model of the gas-liquid phase transition. The liquid-solid phase transition for methanol was investigated by analysing the temperature dependence of the registered FTIR spectra of methanol during cooling from 70 degrees C to 115 degrees C. Comparing the experimental spectra in the C-O stretching region with results of quantum-chemical calculations using the method of principal component analysis we draw conclusions about the size and structure of the methanol clusters formed in the sample at different temperatures.
