Raman Spectroscopic Studies on SOF2 in Argon Matrices

The vibrational fine structure of SOF2 has been studied in the solid state (80 K, 15 K) and in argon matrices (M /S = 30, 100, 250, 500, 1000) by Raman spectroscopy. The splitting of the vibrations at the solid state and in low diluted argon matrices reflect the interactions between the SOF2 molecules. The influence of annealing procedures at different dilution ratios with respect to the formation of van der Waals oligomers is discussed.
