A reinvestigation of the vibrational spectra of cyclooctatetraene and cyclooctatetraene-d8

Band shapes in the gas phase infrared spectrum of cyclooctatetraene (COT) have been recorded in the 3500-250 cm-1 range. With these and the existing vibrational data for COT and COT-d8, revised assignments of the fundamental modes have been made for both compounds. A normal coordinate analysis based...

Sumario:Band shapes in the gas phase infrared spectrum of cyclooctatetraene (COT) have been recorded in the 3500-250 cm-1 range. With these and the existing vibrational data for COT and COT-d8, revised assignments of the fundamental modes have been made for both compounds. A normal coordinate analysis based on D2d symmetry has been carried out and used to support the vibrational assignments. © 1991.
