Raman spectra and molecular dynamics of R2NPX2 (R=Me and Et; X=F, Cl, and Br)

The Raman spectra of compounds R₂NPX₂ (R=Me and Et; X=F, Cl, and Br) were studied. The time correlation functions of vibrational and rotational relaxations as well as the characteristic times of these processes were calculated. Conclusions concerning the mechanisms of formation of the contours of the Raman lines with frequencies in the 670–705 cm⁻¹ range corresponding to the totally symmetric vibrations of the P-N bond in the R₂NPX₂ molecules were drawan.
