Notes:
The polarized and depolarized Raman spectra of the ν2 (CH2 bend) and ν3 (C—Br stretch) vibrations in dibromomethane have been studied as a function of temperature throughout the liquid range. Reorientational correlation times derived from the two modes were simllar in both magnitude and dependence on temperature. This result, together with other structural data, suggests that the rotational dynamics of this molecule in the liquid phase are quasi symmetric-top in character. Vibrational dephasing times calculated from the two lineshapes were also of the same magnitude. However, modulation times determined via the Kubo lineshpae formalism varied markedly between the vibrations. This provides evidence that vibrational dephasing of the bending and stretching modes are influenced by different intermolecular forces in the liquid.
