Abstract
The infra‐red spectrum of cyclobutane in the range 2 to 25μ has been obtained, together with the Raman spectrum of the same material. Analysis of these spectra, together with a normal coordinate treatment of the problem, has led to a tentative assignment of the fundamentals which explains all features of the observed spectra. Butene‐1 has been identified as a product of the liquid phase photolysis of cyclopentanone.
