Quantitative CARS spectroscopy of CO2 and N2O
1United Technologies Research Center, East Hartford, Connecticut 06108, USA.
Abstract:
Experimental and theoretical investigations of the CARS spectroscopy of CO2(2v2) and N2O(v3) were carried out. The experimental spectra were measured in a heated test cell, and excellent agreement with the observed temperature dependences was obtained from numerical simulations. Assignments were made for all hot bands, and the role of collisional narrowing was quantified. Observed nonresonant susceptibility effects in pure N2O have made it possible to estimate the nonresonant background susceptibility for this molecule by using the resonant contribution as a reference calibration.

While α protons of carboxylic acids absorb at 2–2.5 ppm, β protons absorb further upfield.
Carboxylic acids are easily identified by dissolving them in deuterium oxide, which results in a rapid exchange of the acidic protons with deuterium. This leads to the disappearance of the acidic...

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
