Comparison of experiment and theory for the resonance Raman spectrum of I2 in solution. III. Perfluorohexane and chloroform

Abstract
The absolute Raman excitation profiles (REP) of I2 in perfluorohexane and chloroform have been determined. The experimental results are compared to calculations and to our previous results in n-hexane. Although there is good overall agreement between experiment and theory, certain discrepancies turn up in all the solvents. In particular, the experimental cross section is higher than that calculated in the high frequency wing of the REP. This discrepancy cannot be due to charge transfer states since it exists in all the solvents. The excited state linewidth, Γ has been determined to be about 15 cm−1 in all three solvents.
