The Raman spectra of sulphuric acid solutions of tetra(hydrogensulphato)boric acid and its sodium and hydronium salts have been examined. Frequencies are assigned to some of the vibrations of the sulphuric acidium ion, H3SO4+, and are compared with the frequencies of the analogous vibrations of H2SO4 and HSO4−. Evidence is presented that elimination of disulphuric acid occurs between molecules of HB(HSO4)4 to give polymers containing B—O—B linkages.

By neutralizing sulphuric acid solutions of tetra(hydrogensulphato)boric acid with various metal hydrogensulphates, sodium, potassium, ammonium, and strontium salts have been prepared. From the compositions of these salts, and from the results of cryoscopic and conductimetric measurements on their solutions in sulphuric acid, it is concluded that they are best formulated as polysulphatoborates containing the six-membered ring [Formula: see text]It is shown that previously described sulphato compounds of boron can also be satisfactorily formulated on this basis.

The study of the hydrolysis of propionitrile in concentrated acid solutions has been extended to hydrobromic, nitric, and sulphuric acids for a range of acid concentrations. For the system of irreversible, unimolecular consecutive reactions, nitrile [Formula: see text] amide [Formula: see text] acid, [Formula: see text] for all acid concentrations below 4 N. At higher concentrations, k1 and k2 are of the same order, and, in the case of sulphuric acid, k1 becomes [Formula: see text]k2 at concentrations above 20 N. The observed activation energy decreases with increasing acid concentration for all acids. The specific differences in rate increase with acid concentration may be accounted for by the specific variations of A and E for each acid.

The resonance Raman spectra of three pharmacologically important sulfonamides, 4-sulfamyl-4′-dimethylaminoazobenzene (1), 4-sulfamyl-4′-hydroxyazobenzene (2), and 4-sulfamyl-4′-aminoazobenzene (3), are compared with those of analogues lacking the sulfonamide group. The —SO2NH2 moiety does not directly contribute intense or moderately intense bands to the resonance Raman spectra of 1, 2, and 3. However, —SO2NH2 ionization is reflected by frequency changes in a band near 1140 cm−1 and intensity changes in the 1420 cm−1 region. The normal Raman spectrum of 2 confirms that the intensity changes reflect —SO2NH2 ionization rather than unrelated changes in vibronic coupling. The effect of —OH ionization on the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 emphasizes that caution must be exercised when relating spectral perturbations to changes in contributions from valence bond type structures. Resonance Raman excitation profiles for the 1138, 1387, and 1416 cm−1 bands of 2 show that these bands gain intensity by coupling with the electronic transitions in the 240 to 450 nm region and that, more than 1000 cm−1 to the red of λmax, the wavelength dependence can be closely reproduced by the FB type terms of Albrecht and Hutley. The excitation profile for each band shows evidence for structure in the 470 nm region, although lack of sufficient excitation wavelengths prevents accurate estimation of the spacing. Under conditions of rigorous resonance the intense Raman lines all occur in the 1400 cm−1 region, i.e. they are 'bunched' in the region known to contain the —N=N— stretching vibration.


The physical theory necessary for interpreting the vibrational spectra of spin-degenerate molecules is developed in this paper. Particular attention is paid to those molecules whose behaviour is expected to be markedly different from that of both orbitally non-degenerate molecules and those with purely spatial degeneracy. These include certain Kramers degenerate molecules, whose Raman spectra are expected to contain reverse-polarized contributions, and also tetrahedral and octahedral molecules in fourfold degenerate states. The case of a fourfold degenerate octahedral molecule is investigated in the limits of strong vibronic coupling by one of the Jahn—Teller active vibrations (e g and t 2g ). It turns out that the forbidden t 2u vibration may be infra-red active, that the Raman spectrum may contain reverse-polarized contributions and that both infra-red and Raman spectra may contain strong progressions of bands involving multiple excitations of the vibronically active vibration.
