The rotational and rotation-vibrational Raman spectra of gaseous ethane at 1–3 atm. pressure have been photographed with a spectral resolution of approximately 1 cm.−1. Analyses of the rotational structures of the ν1 and ν2 totally symmetric bands were carried out; only the Q branch of the ν2 band was observed. The structures of the degenerate ν10 and ν11 bands were analyzed; however, no trace of ν12 was found. The structure of the ν10 band shows beyond doubt that the point group of the molecule is D3d. From the ν11+ν4 infrared band, and the ν11 Raman band, the value, 278.4 cm.−1, is deduced for the torsional frequency ν4.

The Raman spectra of benzene-, p-chlorobenzene-, p-bromobenzene-, p-methoxybenzene-, and o-, m-, and p-toluene sulphonyl chlorides and fluorides and methylbenzene sulphonate are recorded as well as the infra-red absorption bands of liquid benzene sulphonyl chloride and fluoride between 650 and 3100 cm.-l. A frequency c. 375 cm.-1 is characteristic of the S-Cl bond in sulphonyl chlorides and a strong band at c. 1210 cm.-1 is characteristic of the sulphonyl fluoride group. A Raman band at c. 1080 cm.-l in the chlorides and c. 1095 cm.-l in the fluorides appears to be associated with aromatic sulphonyl derivatives. There is such a band at 1094 cm.-1 in the Raman spectrum of methyl benzene sulphonate.

In this work, a fuzzy approach for automatically identifying artistic pigments from their Raman spectra is presented. The uncertainty introduced during the Raman spectrum measurement of pigments is considered in the design of the fuzzy system. The position of the Raman bands in the unknown spectrum can be subject to small displacements due to noise, misalignments in the calibration, etc. Fuzzy logic allows us to work with this uncertainty and to design a system based on the comparison between the Raman band positions in an unknown spectrum recorded from an artwork and the Raman band positions in spectra recorded from reference pigments gathered in databases. The fuzzy system provides the reference pigments whose Raman band positions match those of the unknown pigment analyzed and gives guidance to the decision-making process in the final identification.

The present work is focused on the influence of the slit aperture and time exposure of the infrared light on the Charge Coupled Device (CCD) in relation to their physical effects, in order to improve the Raman spectrum characteristics. Indeed, the alterations in slit aperture and CCD time exposure affect significantly important spectral properties, such as the spectral intensity, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and band width resolution of the Raman spectra. Therefore, the present proposal has the aim of to found the optimum conditions of instrumental arrangement, involving the minimum collection time and maximum signal quality in dispersive Raman spectrometers. Samples of dehydrated human teeth and naphthalene were evaluated with a Raman dispersive spectrometer employing excitation wavelength of 830 nm in several integration times and spectrometer slit apertures. The analysis of the spectral intensity, SNR and band width of selected Raman peaks allowed to infer that these properties of a dispersive Raman spectrum depend directly of the exposure time on the detector as well as spectrograph slit aperture. It is important to register that the higher SNR was obtained with higher exposure time intervals. To the samples evaluated in the present article, the band width has lower values for slit apertures of 100–150 μm, i.e., in this aperture range the spectral resolution is maximum. On the publisher-id hand, the intensity and SNR of the Raman spectra becomes optimal for slit apertures of 150–200 μm, since this aperture does not affect significantly the integrity of the Raman signal. In this way, we can to propose that in approximately 150 μm, it is possible to obtain an optimum condition, involving spectral resolution as well as SNR and spectral intensity. In any case, depending of the priorities of each spectral measurement, the instrumental conditions can be altered according with the necessities of each specific chemical analysis involving a determined sample. The present data are discussed in details in agreement with recent data from literature.

We have obtained the Raman spectra of TiCl n (n= 2, 3, and 4). Assignments of the observed Raman bands were made by a normal mode analysis. The force constants were determined from the observed Raman band frequencies. We have found that the Ti-Cl stretching force constant increases as the oxidation number of the Ti species increases.

The Raman spectra of four molecules absorbing in the visible region (SnJ4, GeJ4, TiBr4, and TiJ4) are presented. They were excited with a quasi-continuous ruby laser and recorded with a special electronic detection system. Except for TiJ4, complete Raman spectra of crystal powder pellets could be obtained for the first time. The assignment reported by previous authors was confirmed by accurate polarization studies of solutions or pure liquid. The assignment is also in the solid state possible on the basis of Td point group symmetry. The fundamental vibrations of TiJ4 in solutions are: ν1 (A1) =162, ν2 (E) =51, ν3 (F2) =319 and ν4 (F2) Y = 67 cm-1

The infrared and Raman spectra of the complex salts K5[Mn(CN)6], K5[Tc(CN)6] and K5[Re(CN)s] have been recorded in the range from 4000 to 40 cm-1. All expected fundamental vibrations have been observed and could be assigned to the irreducible representations of the sym­metry point group Oh . The calculation of the force constants is based on the concept of the generalized valence force field. The low CN-valence force constants indicate the relatively strong Π-bonding character of the metal carbon bond, which is especially pronounced for K5[Tc(CN)6).

The resonance Raman spectra of three pharmacologically important sulfonamides, 4-sulfamyl-4′-dimethylaminoazobenzene (1), 4-sulfamyl-4′-hydroxyazobenzene (2), and 4-sulfamyl-4′-aminoazobenzene (3), are compared with those of analogues lacking the sulfonamide group. The —SO2NH2 moiety does not directly contribute intense or moderately intense bands to the resonance Raman spectra of 1, 2, and 3. However, —SO2NH2 ionization is reflected by frequency changes in a band near 1140 cm−1 and intensity changes in the 1420 cm−1 region. The normal Raman spectrum of 2 confirms that the intensity changes reflect —SO2NH2 ionization rather than unrelated changes in vibronic coupling. The effect of —OH ionization on the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 emphasizes that caution must be exercised when relating spectral perturbations to changes in contributions from valence bond type structures. Resonance Raman excitation profiles for the 1138, 1387, and 1416 cm−1 bands of 2 show that these bands gain intensity by coupling with the electronic transitions in the 240 to 450 nm region and that, more than 1000 cm−1 to the red of λmax, the wavelength dependence can be closely reproduced by the FB type terms of Albrecht and Hutley. The excitation profile for each band shows evidence for structure in the 470 nm region, although lack of sufficient excitation wavelengths prevents accurate estimation of the spacing. Under conditions of rigorous resonance the intense Raman lines all occur in the 1400 cm−1 region, i.e. they are 'bunched' in the region known to contain the —N=N— stretching vibration.

The infrared and Raman spectra of 2,3-, 2,4-, and 2,5-dimethylbenzonitriles are recorded in the regions 400 to 4000 cm−1 and 100 to 4000 cm−1, respectively. Depolarization measurements are also undertaken. Assuming a C, point group for all the molecules, vibrational analysis is carried out. The frequencies of the umbrella vibration (mode 11) are calculated, and the calculated values agree very well with the observed values.


The physical theory necessary for interpreting the vibrational spectra of spin-degenerate molecules is developed in this paper. Particular attention is paid to those molecules whose behaviour is expected to be markedly different from that of both orbitally non-degenerate molecules and those with purely spatial degeneracy. These include certain Kramers degenerate molecules, whose Raman spectra are expected to contain reverse-polarized contributions, and also tetrahedral and octahedral molecules in fourfold degenerate states. The case of a fourfold degenerate octahedral molecule is investigated in the limits of strong vibronic coupling by one of the Jahn—Teller active vibrations (e g and t 2g ). It turns out that the forbidden t 2u vibration may be infra-red active, that the Raman spectrum may contain reverse-polarized contributions and that both infra-red and Raman spectra may contain strong progressions of bands involving multiple excitations of the vibronically active vibration.

Abstract 1. When chloroprene and isoprene polymerize, besides the frequency characterizing the conjugate double bond in the monomer, there appears a higher frequency corresponding to the isolated double bond in the polymer. In the polymerization process, the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond decreases and the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond increases. Because of the increase in the number of single bonds in the polymer, the intensity of the frequency of the single bond 1005 in the polymer is considerably greater than in the monomer. 2. Even in the case of the samples with high polymer contents (greater than 50 per cent), the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond is considerably greater than the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond. This is attributable to the fact that part of double bonds disappear during polymerization. 3. The Raman spectra of the chloroprene and isoprene polymers differ essentially from those of the monomers. To characterize the frequencies of vibration in the polymer molecule, it is essential to investigate its Raman spectrum in a medium free of the monomer. 4. The formation of highly polymeric molecules on polymerization does not result in an increase in the intensity of the continuous background in spectrograms.
