The Raman spectrum of gaseous acetylene was excited in a multiple-reflection Raman cell by a single-moded Ar+ laser and recorded photographically; the gas pressure was 380 Torr and the spectral slit-width ~0.1 cm−1. The three Raman-active fundamentals ν1, ν2, and ν41 of C2H2 were analyzed to give the band origin, ν0, and the upper state constants, B1 and D1; accurate infrared values of the lower state constants, B0 and D0, were assumed in the analysis. The values of the constants for the ν2 band illustrate the accuracy obtained: ν0 = 1974.317(2), B1 = 1.170419(14), D1 = 1.579(18) × 10−6 cm−1. Five difference bands originating in transitions from the low-lying ν4 = 1 and ν5 = 1 vibrational states were also measured and analyzed.

The Raman spectrum of benzene vapour was excited in a multiple reflection Raman cell by an Ar+ laser and was photographed with a spectral slit width of ~0.17 cm−1. All seven Raman-active fundamentals were observed. Analyses of the totally symmetric ν1 and ν2 bands are given in this article. About 150 maxima were observed for ν2 (C—C stretching) and ~100 for ν1 (C—H stretching); the latter was to some extent obscured by the ν15 band. These partially resolved rotational structures were analyzed by setting up suitable schemes of approximate assignments for the maxima and calculating the band constants by a linear least-squares minimization.

The Raman spectrum of benzene vapour was excited in a multiple reflection Raman cell by an Ar+ laser and was photographed with a spectral slit width of ~ 0.15 cm−1. The results for the five doubly degenerate Raman-active fundamentals are given in this communication. More than 150 maxima were resolved in the ν17 band and the spectrum was analyzed with a computer program to give ν17 = 1177.776(10) cm−1, B1 – B0 = 1.00(4) × 10−4, C1 – C0 = −0.50(2) × 10−4 cm−1, and ζ17 = 0.010(1). About 60 maxima were recorded in the ν18 band; molecular constants were determined but with less precision than for ν17. The ν15 band (partially overlapped by ν1) and the (ν16, ν2 + ν18) Fermi diad showed resolved structure but no detailed analyses were possible. The ν11 band showed no resolved structure.

The Raman spectra of gaseous C2D2 and C2HD were excited in a multiple-reflection Raman cell by a single-moded Ar+ laser and recorded photographically; the gas pressures were in the range, 130–200 Torr, and the spectral slit width was ~ 0.1 cm−1. The ν1, ν2, and ν41 bands of C2D2 and the ν1 and ν2 bands of C2HD were recorded. These were analyzed to give the band origin, ν0, and the upper state constants, B1 and D1; accurate infrared values of the ground state constants, B0 and D0, were assumed in the analyses. Values of the rotation–vibration interaction constants, αi, assembled from Raman and infrared studies of C2H2, C2D2, and C2HD, were used to calculate the equilibrium internuclear distances for the acetylene molecule: re(C—H) = 1.06250 ± 0.00010 and re(C≡C) = 1.20241 ± 0.00009 Å.

The Raman spectrum of benzene-d6 vapour was excited in a multiple reflection cell by an Ar+ laser and was photographed with a spectral slit width of ~0.15 cm−1. Extensive structure (164 maxima) was observed for the ν2 (C—C stretching) fundamental but only the S branch (39 maxima) of the ν1 (C—D stretching) band was well-resolved. These totally symmetric bands were analysed and molecular constants determined from a least-squares fit. Three doubly degenerate bands were observed; ν15 and ν16 were unresolved, and in ν17 only 19 lines could be measured. Consequently, no detailed analyses were possible but the values of some molecular constants were estimated.

The absorption spectrum of cyclopropane, C3H6, was measured in the region between 790 and 950 cm−1 on a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. The section containing the Q-branches of the perpendicular band of the ν11 vibration of species E′ was deconvolved to an effective line width of 0.0020–0.0025 cm−1. The structure of the ν11 band is strongly affected by l-type resonance. A total of 88 sub-bands with KΔK = −42 to 45 have been assigned in this band. The K = 4–3 and 2–3 sub-bands both exhibit K doubling of the lines with high J resulting from a combined effect of the off-diagonal matrix elements [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with the l doubling in the K = 1, l = 1 state. Otherwise, the ν11 band is found to be free of perturbations by other vibrational states, in spite of the fact that a Jx,y Coriolis interaction is allowed by selection rules with the ν7 band (species [Formula: see text]) whose band origin is only 14.38 cm−1 below that of ν11. This shows that the value of [Formula: see text] is essentially zero. Also, the allowed Jz Coriolis interaction with the ν10 state, which lies 160.01 cm−1 above ν11, does not noticeably affect the two bands. A Hamiltonian matrix, including the matrix elements responsible for the K doubling and l-type resonance, was used for the treatment of the ν11 band. A set of accurate ground state constants and spectroscopic constants for the upper state ν11 is reported that reproduces 3240 observed lines of this band with a standard deviation of 0.0009 cm−1. Lines of the parallel band ν7 are just barely seen between the ν11 lines, which are perhaps 30–50 times stronger. Spectroscopic constants for the ν7 band have been obtained from 135 individual lines assigned to the Q- and R-branches of sub-bands with K = 6–21.

The Raman spectra of liquid (~18° K) and solid (~2° K) n-H2, p-H2, n-D2, o-D2(80%), and HD were photographed with a reciprocal linear dispersion of 3 to 6 cm−1 per mm. The S0 rotational lines show broadening of a few cm−1 but the Q1 vibrational lines are very sharp. The S0(0) transition of p-H2 and o-D2 is a triplet of sharp lines, but the corresponding transition in HD is not split. The vibrational frequencies in the liquid are lowered by 7 to 9 cm−1 and in the solid by 8 to 11 cm−1 from the gas values. The Raman spectrum of p-H2 has been discussed in detail by Van Kranendonk. In the present communication the vibrational shifts in the various solids are correlated by representing them as the sums of shifts due to dispersion forces, overlap forces, and vibrational coupling.

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.

An apparatus for obtaining intense Raman spectra of gases excited by the Hg 4358 line is described. It consists of a mirror-type Raman tube irradiated by two high-current mercury lamps, completely enclosed in a reflector of magnesium oxide. The lamps are externally water-cooled along their entire length and emit sharp lines of high intensity.Rotational Raman spectra of gases at a pressure of 1 atm. have been photographed in the second order of a 21 ft. grating in exposure times of 6 to 24 hr. The Raman lines are sharp and a resolving power of about 100,000 has been achieved. It will be possible to resolve the rotational Raman spectra, and hence to evaluate the rotational constants of molecules having moments of inertia of up to 300 × 10−10 gm. cm.2 Such investigations will be especially useful for non-polar molecules.
