Abstract

The shape of the ν 1 and ν 3 Raman bands of N 2O has been studied in the presence of argon at various pressures and also when N 2O was dissolved in several inert liquids. We show that there is evidence for motional narrowing of the Q branch of the isotropic part of the ν 1 and ν 3 Raman bands due to collisions with the perturbing gas and to interactions with the solvent. The anisotropic part of the Raman scattering is also analysed and explained by the transition from the almost free rotation in the gas systems to diffusional rotation in the most strongly perturbing solvent system.
