Infrared and Raman Spectra of Vanadium Oxytrichloride

Abstract
The infrared and Raman frequencies of liquid VOCl3 (of symmetry C3v) have been measured. The a1 fundamentals are 1035, 408, and 165 cm—1; those of species e are 504, 249, and 129 cm—1. Most of the fifteen remaining bands can be explained as combinations of these.
