Infrared spectroscopy of spherical top (Td) molecules: a physical chemistry experiment

T. C. DeVore, T. N. Gallaher

Abstract

Topics covered by this experiment include: (1) Use of group theory to determine infrared active modes of vibration (2) combination and overtone bands of polyatomic molecules (3) analysis of the rotational-vibrational spectrum of a polyatomic molecule and (4) force constants of polyatomic molecules.
