Infrared intensities of liquids XXV: Dielectric constants, molar polarizabilities and integrated intensities of liquid toluene at 25 °C between 4800 and 400 cm

The main purpose of this paper is to present accurate infrared integrated intensities of liquid toluene, C₆H₅CH₃, at 25 °C. Also presented are the decadic molar absorption coefficients, E_m, the real and imaginary dielectric constants, ε′ and ε″, and the real and imaginary molar polarizabilities, ^′_m and ^″_m. Integrated intensities were determined as C_j, the area under bands in the spectrum, for all bands between 4800 and 440 cm⁻¹. The contributions from the different bands were separated by fitting the spectrum with classical damped harmonic oscillator bands. The uncertainties in the integrated intensities of most bands are estimated to be 5–10%, with the uncertainties in very weak bands and in shoulders possibly up to 100%. The intensity that should be assigned to the fundamentals is more difficult to estimate due to Fermi resonance with overtone and combination bands, and a best estimate is given. The integrated intensities of the fundamental vibrations and the corresponding transition dipole moments are summarized and are compared with literature values for the gas.     

Liquid-phase force field and dipole moment derivatives with respect to internal coordinates of benzene

This paper presents an analysis of the infrared vibrational intensities found for C(6)H(6), C(6)D(6) and C(6)H(5)D in the liquid phase, motivated in part by the quite marked intensity differences between the fundamentals of C(6)H(6) and C(6)D(6) in the liquid, and between corresponding vibrations in the liquid and gas phases. The analysis is carried out under the harmonic approximation and results from a determination of the force field for liquid C(6)H(6), C(6)D(6) and C(6)H(5)D. The force constants for the liquid-phase are presented and compared to those in the literature for the gas-phase. Previously reported experimental intensities are used along with the eigenvectors of the force field analysis to determine the dipole moment derivatives with respect to symmetry and internal coordinates. The dipole moment derivatives with respect to internal coordinates obtained are partial differentialmicro/ partial differentials=0.38+/-0.02DebyeA(-1), partial differentialmicro/ partial differentialt=0.24+/-0.01, partial differentialmicro/ partial differentialbeta=0.26+/-0.01, and partial differentialmicro/ partial differentialgamma=0.64+/-0.03DebyeA(-1). There is very little difference between the dipole moment derivatives with respect to internal coordinates obtained from non-linear least squares fitting of the two D(6h) isotopomers and those obtained from non-linear least squares fitting of the three isotopomers. The results show that there is significant intensity sharing in the CH stretch region of C(6)H(5)D between the fundamental and combination bands.     

Infrared intensities of liquids XXII: Optical and dielectric constants, molar polarizabilities, and integrated intensities of liquid benzene-d6 at 25 °C between 5000 and 450 cm–1

This paper presents accurate infrared absorption intensities of liquid benzene-d₆ at 25?°C, between 5000 and 450 cm^–1. The results are presented as graphs and tables of the real, n, and imaginary, k, refractive index spectra, which are also called the optical constant spectra. The real refractive index is shown between 8000 and 450 cm^–1. The absolute errors in the k values are estimated to be ～3% below, and up to 60%, above, 4700 cm^–1, with those in the n values ～0.25% throughout. The Beer-Lambert molar absorption coefficient spectra, E _m(?ν), and the complex dielectric constant spectra, ?′(?ν) and ?″(?ν), were calculated from the optical constant spectra. To correct for macroscopic dielectric effects, the complex molar polarizability spectra, α′_m(?ν) and α″_m(?ν), were calculated from the dielectric constant spectra under the Lorentz local field. The properties of bands in these different spectra are compared. The imaginary molar polarizability spectra were fitted convincingly to 208 Classical Damped Harmonic Oscillator bands, and the areas under the corresponding ?να″_m bands gave the integrated intensities C _j . These were assigned as far as possible and are tabulated. The transition dipole moments of well assigned transitions, and for the infrared-active fundamentals, under the double harmonic approximation, the dipole moment derivatives with respect to the normal coordinates, were calculated from the values of C _j , and are presented. This appears to be the first extensive measurement of the infrared absorption intensities of liquid benzene-d₆. The results are compared with literature data for liquid and gaseous benzene-d₆.
