INTENSITY IN THE RAMAN EFFECT: V. THE EFFECT OF INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTION ON THE RAMAN SPECTRUM OF CARBON DISULPHIDE

Abstract

The Raman spectrum of CS2 has been obtained photoelectrically for the liquid and solutions of varying concentrations in cyclopentane, and depolarization ratios and intensities measured. The intensity of the forbidden bands v2 and v3 relative to that of the Raman active band v1 decreases rapidly with dilution. The bands are present because of intermolecular interaction which probably occurs between the C atom of one molecule of CS2 and only one of the S atoms of the other.
