Abstract:
The nu(5) antisymmetric stretching mode of the linear carbon cluster C(7) has been revisited using a sensitive high-resolution spectrometer, including an external-cavity quantum cascade laser covering the range of interest of 1894-1901 cm(-1). 50 transitions of the nu(5)-band have been recorded and analyzed together with 45 transitions of the nu(4)-band measured by Neubauer-Guenther et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 014313 (2007)]. We determined the band centers, rotational and centrifugal constants very precisely. In addition, 29 hot band transitions have been measured and tentatively assigned to the nu(5)+nu(11)-nu(11) hot band. A global fit of the hot bands nu(5)+nu(11)-nu(11) and nu(4)+nu(11)-nu(11) is presented. Derived l-type doubling constants allow for an experimental estimation of the nu(11)-band center.

IR Frequency Region: Alkyne and Nitrile Stretching
Comparing the stretching vibrational frequency of C≡C triple bonds with that of double and single bonds, it is evident that C≡C triple bonds exhibit a higher stretching frequency than C=C double and C–C single bonds. Similarly, the C≡N triple bond exhibits higher stretching absorption than the C=N...

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
