Abstract

The ir spectra of ethylene and <i>sym</i>-dimethylethylene sulfite in the vapor, and dilute solutions in polar and nonpolar solvents have been recorded from 400 to 4000 cm⁻¹. In addition, the far infrared spectra of these compounds have been recorded to 33 cm⁻¹. In the liquid form, an equilibrium between two S=O conformations exists, while in the vapor state, only one conformer is observed. The S=O dipole in these sulfites is more sensitive to solvent than normal ketones and diphenyl sulphoxide and less dependent than dimethyl sulphoxide.
