Description:
The vibrational spectra of (CH3)2PH and (CD3)2PH have been studied and assignments made. In the infrared, the region between 4000 and 33 wavelength/cm was recorded for the gaseous and solid states, while Raman spectra from 3500 to 10 wavelength/cm in the gaseous, liquid and solid states were observed. There is some evidence of weak hydrogen bonding, based on the behavior of the phosphorus-hydrogen stretching and bending modes. There also appears to be considerable interaction between the methyl rocking and phosphorus-carbon stretching modes. The a double prime and a prime torsional modes appear to be accidentally degenerate at 182 and 142 wavelength/cm for the 'light' and 'heavy' compounds, respectively. This gives barriers of 2.14 and 2.30 kcal/mole, respectively.
