The infrared spectra of liquid and solid films of
formaldehyde were taken over the range of 35 to 4,000 cm⁻¹
using Beckman IR 7 and IR 11 spectrometers. A new overtone
band and a new combination band were found as well as three
fundamental peaks due to lattice vibrations and...
The infrared absorption spectrum from 3200 cm⁻¹ to 4025
cm⁻¹ of thin crystals of ⁶LiOH (99%⁶Li.) is presented and compared
to the spectrum of [superscript]NLiOH (93%⁷Li). A shift in only one of the band
pairs supports the lattice combinations model and assists in making
assignments for the major features of...
At liquid nitrogen temperature the spectra of sublimed
films of NH₄NCS, both as phase I (the usual form stable at
room temperature) and phase II (the low temperature form),
exhibit detail usually reserved for gases at low pressures.
In both phases the symmetry of ammonium ion has degenerated
from tetrahedral...
The infrared absorption spectra in the out-of-plane
bending (v₂) region of potassium nitrate were studied for
three phases. Several types of sampled were used: nujol
mulls, fused samples, and N¹⁴-N¹⁵ isotopic mixtures. The
existence of three of the reported polymorphic phases was
confirmed by the spectra. The transitions between phase...
