Which mechanism dominates vibrational frequency modification in molecular crystals?

A)Dipole-dipole interaction broadening
B)Fermi resonance splitting
C)Exciton-phonon coupling
D)Davydov splitting broadening

💡 Explanation

Exciton-phonon coupling dominates because energy transfer causes interactions between electronic excitations and molecular vibrations, therefore vibrational frequencies shift with temperature, rather than fixed intrinsic properties ignoring crystalline environment.
