Carbonyl stretching frequency of aliphatic carboxylic acids


Carbonyl stretching frequency of aliphatic carboxylic acids in dilute solution is located near 1770/cm. This frequency is much higher than the carbonyl frequency of these substances when measured neat (1720/cm). Also it is considerably higher than the corresponding aliphatic ester (1745/cm) value. Explain.
