The Raman Spectra of Some Halogen Gas Hydrates.

Abstract

The Raman spectra of Br2, Cl2, and BrCl gas hydrates were recorded at -196° at ∼20-600 cm-1. The spectra indicate remarkably little interaction between the guest and host mols. in Br2 and Cl2 gas hydrates and a little more pronounced interaction in the BrCl gas hydrate. The isotope effect obsd. in the spectra is in fair agreement with the expected. Bands obsd. at <200 cm-1 are tentatively assigned to translational vibrations of the host mols. [on SciFinder(R)]
