Infrared intensity measurements—I. Experimental conditions and a standard band

Abstract

The experimental conditions for the measurement of absolute infrared intensities of vibrational transitions have been examined using the out-of-plane CH vibration of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzone. This symmetrical band has been investigated in solution in carbon disulfide. The band was analyzed by the band shape moment analysis. The error in the experimentally determined intensity is estimated to be ±5 percent. It is suggested that this band would be useful as an intensity standard in condensed systems.
