Abstract
The pure rotational Raman spectra of cyclohexane-d0 and cyclohexane-d12 have been photographed under high resolution using a single mode argon laser as the exciting source. The spectra consist of reasonably sharp lines which form well developed R- and S-branches. The molecular constants found from the analysis of the spectra are, for C6H12: B0 = 0.143429 ± 2 × 10−6 cm−1, DJ = (1.56 ± 0.03) × 10−8 cm−1 and, for C6D12: B0 = 0.109469 ± 1 × 10−6 cm−1 and DJ = (0.61 ± ± 0.01) × 10−8 cm−1. These results and possible molecular structures are discussed in terms of the results of recent electron diffraction studies of cyclohexane.
