Gas-phase infrared spectroscopy of cyclopropane-HF and cyclopropane-HCN

Abstract

The optothermal detection method has been used to obtain gas-phase infrared spectra of the cyclopropane-HF and cyclopropane-HCN binary complexes, both of which show substantial homogeneous broadening. Shifted somewhat from the spectrum of the HF binary complex is an additional band which is tentatively assigned to a larger complex which contains both cyclopropane and HF.
