Far-infrared spectra of acetanilide revisited

摘要

A new investigation of the temperature dependence of the far-infrared spectra of acetanilide and some isotopomers is presented. Four absorption bands are considered at 31, 42, 64, and 80 cm(-1), and no significant change of their integrated intensity is observed when reducing the temperature. The temperature induced frequency shift values and other properties of these bands are consistent with an assignment as anharmonic lattice phonons. These results rule out the assignment of the 64, 80, and 106 cm(-1) bands as normal modes of the polaronic excitation, as previously suggested. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. AII rights reserved.
