Abstract
The complete vibrational spectra of crystalline sodium bromoacetate and sodium bromoacetate$-d_{2}$ have been recorded and a vibrational assignment proposed. The intermolecular coupling of these compounds is quite strong and the data is consistent with a centrosymmetric unit cell containing at least four molecules. The Product Rule calculations support a structure in which the bromine atom is rotated out of the plane of the remaining heavy atoms, but the frequency of the carbon-bromine stretching mode indicates that the amount of rotation is not large.
