Vibrational Overtone Study of T-Butyl Alcohol and N-Butyl Alcohol

Raman and FT-IR absorption spectra of t-butyl alcohol and n-butyl alcohol pure components have been recorded in the liquid state in the region of 400-4000 cm ^-1. The data obtained have been used to propose complete vibrational assignments for each of the liquid component and the structural features are discussed. The variations in frequency shifts, intensities and line widths are discussed with a view to understanding the origin of such variations.
