THIN FILM AND MATRIX RAMAN SPECTRA

$^{1}$B. Latimer and J. P. Devlin, Spectrochim. Acta 23A, 81 (1967).""Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Oklahoma State UniversityThe combination of one watt of 4880 $\tilde{A}$ excitation power with modern Raman instrumentation makes possible the measurement of high resolution Raman spectra from films in the micron thickness range using the simplest of cell designs. Further, the use of the same cell (and thus the same deposits) for infrared sampling is convenient. Dilution to ratios of 100:1 or greater are also feasible. Thin film and matrix spectra for stable organic systems as well as certain halogenated boroxine species will be presented and the latter data compared with predictions based on a published Urey-Bradley Force Field $calculation.^{1}
