CO(2) Laser Absorption Coefficients for Determining Ambient Levels of O(3), NH(3), and C(2)H(4)
Abstract:
A carbon dioxide laser source was used to determine absorption coefficients for dilute absorber-air mixtures at wavelengths corresponding to several vibration-rotation lines in each branch of the 00 degrees 1-02 degrees 0 band at 9.4 microm and the 00 degrees 1-10 degrees 0 band at 10.4 microm. For all samples the total pressure was 1 atm and the temperature was 300 K; the concentrations ranged from 10 ppm (parts per million by volume) to 357 ppm for NH(3) and C(2)H(4), and from 10 ppm to 80 ppm for O(3). The absorption coefficients are tabulated, and the use of selected laser lines in monitoring ambient concentrations is discussed.

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...
