Abstract
The self-trapping (soliton) theory which was recently developed to account for the anomalous amide-I band at 1650 in crystalline acetanilide (a model system for protein) has been extended to predict the anharmonicity constant of the overtone spectrum. These infrared-active overtones which have been detected at 3250, 4803, and 6304 yield an anharmonicity constant that is in good agreement with the theory.
