Measurement of the Vibrational Zeeman-Effect for Hcf3 Using Magnetic Vibrational Circular-Dichroism
Magnetic vibrational circular dichroism (MVCD) for different vibrational modes of HCF3 have been measured. The Vibrational Zeeman effect for the E-symmetry nu(4) and nu(5) modes have been determined for the first time from the solution and gas phase MVCD and absorption spectra. An analysis of the vibrational Zeeman effect for the other E-symmetry mode, nu(6), has been derived from the nu(3)+nu(6) combination band MVCD and absorption spectra based on the vibronic coupling model. Comparisons of these results to predictions of different theoretical models have been used to analyze the sources of the observed Zeeman effect.
