HIGH RESOLUTION RAMAN SPECTRUM OF METHYL FLUORIDE-$d_{3}$

Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Tennessee; Department of Physics, The Ohio State UniversityThe Raman spectra of the $\nu_{1}$ and $\nu_{4}$ fundamentals of methyl fluoride $d_{3}$ have been observed with resolution ranging from $0.06\;cm^{-1}$ to $0.40\;cm^{-1}$. The Q branches of $2\nu_{2}$ and $2\nu_{5}$ which fall in the $\nu_{4}$ region, have also been examined at $0.06\;cm^{-1}$ resolution. The analysis of the observed spectra and the resulting molecular constants will be discussed
