Abstract
The degenerate ν10 and ν11 Raman bands of C2H6 have been photographed at a spectral resolution of ~0.4 cm−1 and a gas pressure of 1 atm. The rotational structures of both bands were analyzed. The analysis of the ν10 band gave A0 = 2.671 ± 0.005 cm−1 for the ground-state rotational constant A0. Although this value is between 3 and 4% higher than previous determinations, the method of analysis indicates that it must be considered the most reliable yet obtained. This new value of A0 has been used, with other data, to recalculate the ground-state geometrical structure of ethane.Keywords
