High Resolution Wavenumber Standards for the Infrared. (IUPAC Recommendations 1995)

The calibration of high resolution infrared spectra is generally more precise than accurate. This is the case even when they are recorded with Fourier transform interferometers. This presentation aims at improving the accuracy of wavenumber measurements in the infrared by recommending a selection of spectral lines as wavenumber standards for absolute calibration.

Torsional potential function of glyoxal

We have shown, using the fact that glyoxal exists in the trans conformer and the pseudo stable cis conformer that a potential function can be calculated which fits the infrared data of the trans conformer and the microwave intensity data of the cis conformer. This potential function was extended to the d sub 1 and d sub 2 analogs. A study of the potential function of 1,3-butadiene using a different molecular geometry than was previously used was undertaken. Results are presented with different possible vibrational assignments and potential functions which would be consistent with the observed infrared and Raman spectra.
