Abstract

The depolarization ratios and line shapes of the Raman lines of benzene and carbon tetrachloride at 992 and 458 cm⁻¹, respectively, have been measured in detail both in the pure-liquid state and in solvents such as cyclohexane and acetone. The lines are narrower in cyclohexane than in the pure-liquid state and all the results can be understood in terms of intermolecular interactions. We have also shown that the depolarization ratio of the benzene 992 cm⁻¹ line is not constant over the line.
