Infrared Spectrum and Vibrational Analysis of Bromochloromethane

Abstract The i,r. spectrum of CH2BrCl between 4000 and 200 cm−1 has been investigated in the liquid phase. All the absorptions, except few features, have been identified and more than 50 bands including fundamentals, overtone and combination bands have been assigned. Anharmonicity constants from the characterized vibrational levels have been also determined. Data from liquid phase spectra are needed to correctly interpret the rather complex vapor phase features whose investigation is in progress now.
