Absolute band intensities of acetone ((CH3)2CO) in the infrared region of 830-3200 cm(-1) at low and room temperatures.
Absolute integrated band intensities of acetone (CH3)2CO in the region of 830-3200 cm(-1) have been measured near the temperatures of 233, 260 and 293 K. The spectra were recorded with a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The investigated region encompasses a total of 15 fundamental bands. At 293 K, for example, the band intensities range from 16.8 to 554.3 cm(-2) atm(-1) (at 300 K). The intensities have uncertainties of about 5%. All the band intensities increase with decreasing temperature. An empirical formulation was introduced which fit this temperature dependence well and which can be used to predict other unmeasured band intensities in the temperature region of approximately 200-300 K. The 295 K intensities reported here agree to within approximately 10% of previously published values, with lower estimated uncertainties. Low temperature intensity measurements are not available in the literature.
