VIBRATIONAL ANALYSIS OF ALKYL XANTHATES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0584-8539(87)80111-3

Rotational isomers are indicated in the Raman spectra of sodium ethyl and other xanthates.Vibrational bands useful for characterizing xanthate solids and aqueous solutions are given.Vibrational analyses are reported for sodium ethyl xanthate, trans and gauche forms, and the methyl and isopropyl analogs using a Cartesian coordinate force field derived from ab initio molecular orbital calculations.
