Infrared Absorbance of SF-6

ORAL

Abstract

The infrared absorbance spectrum of sulfur hexafluoride has been studied using a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer ( FTIR ). Eighty two different absorbance lines were observed and definitely assigned to be SF-6 absorbances. Twenty seven other absorbance lines were observed and are tentatively assigned to be SF-6 absorbances. These absorbance energies will be reported. Three energy levels in each of the vibrational spectra nu1, nu3, nu4, nu5 and nu6 as well as two energy levels in nu2 have been assigned and also will be reported.
