The Raman and infrared absorption spectrum of selenophene

Abstract
The Raman frequencies of liquid selenophene are communicated here. The infrared absorption bands of liquid selenophene have been determined in the region 1600‐670 cm−1 mainly, using a Perkin Elmer instrument with a rock salt prism and by Dr. Lecomte in Paris for the lower frequency region (about 390‐600 cm−1), making use of a grating spectrometer. Quantitative depolarization ratios were determined for the not too weak Raman lines.Selenophene has a non‐planar configuration with only one symmetry plane remaining (symmetry C15). A striking analogy exists between many features of the vibrational spectra of selenophene and thiophene.
