Vibrational Intensities in Halogenated Methanes. II. Methylene Bromide and Methylene Iodide

Abstract
The absolute intensities of the fundamental bands in CH2Br2 and CH2I2 of species B1 and B2 have been measured. The intensities observed are, in cycles/sec at NTP, CH2Br2        CH2I2A614.6×101037.2×1010A748.2×101077.9×1010A81003 ×1010473 ×1010A9616 ×10101109 ×1010 The bond moments and bond derivatives calculated from this data are CH2Br2        CH2I2μCH+0.55×10−18+0.5 ×10−18 (B1vibrations)+0.86×10−18 (B2vibrations)μCI−0.70×10−18 0 (assumed)∂μCH/∂rCH+0.17×10−10or −0.10×10−10+0.2 ×10−10or −0.2×10−10∂μCX/∂rCX+3.27×10−10+2.1 ×10−10 where the ambiguity in signs that led to alternate values of ∂μCH/∂rCH could not be resolved.
