Raman Spectrum of Monodeuteroethylene

MONODEUTEROETHYLENE has been prepared (J.C.J.) in two different ways. Starting from vinylbromide and deuterium bromide, obtained by the action of deuterium oxide on redistilled phosphorus penta-bromide, the monodeuteroethylenebromide was prepared. This compound was submitted to the action of zinc and yielded monodeuteroethylene. Several spectra of the liquid compound were taken at a temperature of 140° C.; the lines are listed in the accompanying table. The strongest lines of ethylene also appeared.
