Absorption Spectra of the Vapors of Twelve Alcohols and of Nitric Acid in the Region of the O[Single Bond]H Harmonic Band at lambda9500
Creators
Abstract
The absorption spectra of the vapors of twelve alcohols and of nitric acid have been investigated by photographic methods in the region lambdalambda9450–9850. In each case a strong harmonic band of the O[Single Bond]H vibration was found. In the primary alcohols and in o-chlor phenol the O[Single Bond]H vibration was found to split into two components, a possible explanation for which is briefly discussed. In the bands of certain other substances a considerable complexity of structure was observed which is attributed either to a free rotation or a torsional vibration of the hydroxyl hydrogen with respect to the remainder of the molecule. Systematic shifts in the frequency of the O[Single Bond]H vibration with changes in the structure of the alcohol molecule were found.
