Abstract
The molecular structure of tribromoethanol has been studied by Ab Initio theoretical calculations. The IR spectrum has been recorded in the range 4000—200 cm−1. Whereas, the Raman spectrum has been determined by means of a SPEX 1403 spectrometer using the 5145Å exciting line of a Spectra—Physics 164 Ar ion laser. Depolarization ratios were also measured. The fundamental vibrations of CBr3CH2OH as well as some overtones, combinations and difference bands were assigned.
