Vibrational Spectra and Structure of Dimethyl Diselenide and Dimethyl Diselenide-d6

Abstract

The vibrational behavior of the dimethyl diselenide and dimethyl diselenide‐d 6 molecules has been studied in the infrared region (4000–70 cm−1) and by Raman shifts (4000–50 cm−1). The molecule has been found to belong to point group C 2 . The fundamental vibrations, with the exception of the methyl torsions, have been assigned and supported by a normal‐coordinate analysis.
