Infrared and Raman spectra have been obtained over the region 4000 cm−1 to 33 cm−1 on ortho-and meta-substituted styrenes including F, Br, Cl, methyl, and meta-nitro derivatives. The entire spectral region has been investigated in the liquid state while selected regions and isomers have been studied in the solid and gas phase. Gas phase and interferometric spectra in the far ir of ortho-and meta-fluorostyrene did not reveal the torsional modes. Assignment of most fundamental modes of vibrations are reported and discussed.

The spectra tables of frequencies are too numerous to publish here; however, there are a limited number of spectra available from the authors or from Air Force Materials Laboratory, Directorate of Laboratories, Air Force Systems Command,Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433: Technical Report AFML-TR-67-141, June 1967.

This is a fairly good assumption since small deviations in the coplanarity will not drastically effect the molecular vibrations through this symmetry change.

If Ref. 18 is used rather than the more extensive tables, 8 the desired data can be obtained in the following manner: The bvA=∑iwi. Thus for s = 20, b1A is 11.976+0.121+12.1000. The bvE = W0-1/2W1-1/2W2+W3 = 1/2W4-…. Thus for s = 20, b1E is 11.9761–0.1205/2-0.0027/2+0.0001=11.9146
