Raman scattering of HF in the gas state and in liquid solution

Abstract
We have studied the Raman scattering of HF in the gas state and dissolved at low concentration in liquid SF6. For the gas, the absolute intensity of the vibrational band has been measured and the polarizability derivative has been determined to be d α/d r = 1.00 × 10−16 cm2. The system HF perturbed by 23 atm of gaseous SF6 is discussed; we also give some results on the HF polymer bands at 2900–3800 cm−1.
