Polarized resonance Raman measurements of highly oriented films of cis polyacetylene have been carried out. The intensities of the three Raman fundamentals in the four different scattering configurations have been measured and corrected for the strong anisotropy of the optical properties. The experimental data are indicative of an almost perfect alignment of the cis polyenic chains along the stretching direction. Preliminary measurements of the depolarization ratios carried out on isotropic samples in the resonance region appear to be inconsistent with the view that the visible band is dominated by a single transition polarized along the chain axis.

Abstract
Polarized resonance Raman measurements of highly oriented films of cis polyacetylene have been carried out. The intensities of the three Raman fundamentals in the four different scattering configurations have been measured and corrected for the strong anisotropy of the optical properties. The experimental data are indicative of an almost perfect alignment of the cis polyenic chains along the stretching direction. Preliminary measurements of the depolarization ratios carried out on isotropic samples in the resonance region appear to be inconsistent with the view that the visible band is dominated by a single transition polarized along the chain axis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
