INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTRA OF PHENYL ACETATE PHENYL-D5 ACETATE AND PHENYL ACETATE-D3

The infrared spectra of phenyl acetate, phenyl-d5 acetate, and phenyl acetate-d3 as solutions in carbon tetrachloride or carbon disulphide have been recorded in the 4000–100 cm−1 region together with the Raman spectra of the pure liquids. The data are consistent with the assumption of a single rotational isomer and support the previous1 interpretation of the complex carbonyl region observed in the phenolic acetates as arising from a single fundamental in Fermi resonance with one or more combination tones. © 1969, CSIRO.
