Abstract
The argon matrix Raman spectra of oxygen difluoride and oxygen‐18 difluoride at 16°K have been observed; frequencies within one wavenumber of analogous infrared studies were measured. Laser photo‐detachment of fluorine atoms has provided significant yields of the OF and 18OF free radicals; the Raman observations confirm the earlier infrared work. Temperature cycling operations and depolarization ratio measurements provide aid in identifying new chemical species and making vibrational assignments.
