[Coefficient of refraction of water and aqueous solutions in the optical frequency range in the vicinity of naphione]
Abstract:
Within the present experimental working it has been shown that in the vicinity of naphione (ion-exchange membrane) the water refraction coefficient grows approximately by a factor of 1.1 in comparison with its value in a liquid. The refractive coefficient changes at the wavelength of about 50 microns. The effect of the refractive coefficient is measured by the pH value and the temperature of the liquid. In the experimental study of the "glycerin/water" mixture at different concentrations it has been found that the refractive coefficient may increase because naphione surface attracts the dipole of water clusters. This effect occurs due to the swelling of naphione in water and its surface takes a charge.

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...
