EXPERIMENTAL CONSIDERATION IN RAMAN SPECTRA OF ORGANIC VAPORS

Abstract

The results from a Raman study on small ring compounds in the vapor state will be reported. These data include band contour analysis, polarization data, band intensities and a comparison with similar infrared studies. The low frequency, ring puckering fundamental will be discussed in detail. The lower concentration limit found necessary for such Raman studies will be discussed as well as the resolution which can be expected and the laser power required.
