Raman Spectrum of UF6

Abstract
Two of the 3 Raman‐active fundamentals of UF6 have been observed at 666.6±0.3 (ν1) and 535±5 cm—12) for a gaseous sample. The new value for ν2 is in good agreement with the value 532 cm—1 obtained earlier by Gaunt from infrared combinations. The sample of UF6 was contained in a Pyrex Raman tube and was irradiated for many hours with 4358 A light with no visible deterioration. Gaunt's thermodynamic functions remain valid.
