INFRARED INTENSITIES OF LIQUIDS .14. ACCURATE OPTICAL-CONSTANTS AND MOLAR ABSORPTION-COEFFICIENTS BETWEEN 4800 AND 450 CM(-1) OF CHLOROBENZENE AT 25-DEGREES-C FROM SPECTRA RECORDED IN SEVERAL LABORATORIES

Accurate infrared absorption intensities of liquid chlorobenzene at 25 degrees C are presented. Their accuracy was estimated from the agreement between the intensities measured by different spectroscopists using different instruments in different laboratories and by different spectroscopists using the same instrument in the same laboratory. The spectra from different spectroscopists have been averaged, unweighted, to give intensity spectra of chlorobenzene that are presented as the best available. The results are presented as graphs and tables of the molar absorption coefficient, E(m)(($) over tilde nu), and the real and imaginary refractive indices, n(($) over tilde nu) and k(($) over tilde nu), between 4800 and 450 cm(-1). The peak heights and the areas under the bands in the absorption index (imaginary refractive index) spectrum are reported, as are areas under the molar absorption coefficient spectrum. Absorption index, k(($) over tilde nu), and molar absorption coefficient, E(m)(($) over tilde nu), values are believed accurate to an average +/-2.4% at the peaks of bands with k(max) > 0.002 and +/-3.3% at the peaks of bands with k(max) < 0.002. In the baseline k(($) over tilde nu) is accurate to similar to +/-5% above 3000 cm(-1) and similar to +/-2.5% below 3000 cm(-1). The areas under bands in k(($) over tilde nu) and E(m)(($) over tilde nu) spectra for which k(max) > 0.002 are accurate to +/-1.3% on average. The real refractive index, n(($) over tilde nu), values are believed to be accurate to +/-0.2%.
