Raman Spectra of Some Ethers Containing One or More Phenyl Groups

Raman frequencies, estimated intensities and depolarization factors are listed for n-propylphenyl, n-butylphenyl, ethylbenzyl, n-butylbenzyl and dibenzyl ethers. Intense frequencies characteristic of monosubstituted benzenes whose values were constant in the five ethers are 618(5)0.8, 1001(10)0.1, 1029(7)0.3, 1156(4)0.8, 1176(4)0.8, 1588 and 1604 (6)0.7, 3058(9)0.3. Frequencies characteristic of the C–O–C bond may be those near 440, 900 and 1125 cm—1.
