Abstract
Low-temperature infrared and Raman spectra of Crystalline biphenyl have been investigated in the 3100–25 cm−1 range, and those of biphenyl-D10 between 200 and 25 cm−1. The infrared dichroism of an Oriented crystal at 77°K has been measured in the 3100–400 cm−1 region. The assignment for the internal modes V 5(B2u), v 6 (B2u), v 1(B1u), v 10(B1g), v 2(B2g) et v 3 (B3g) is given. The band splitting is analized and hte components due ot the correlation effect in the fundamentals are separated from the components due to combinations. Isotopic shifts are used to assign the nine external vibrations as well as the torsional mode. The temperature effect on the frequencies occuring below 500 cm−1 is discussed.
