Effects of solvent on Raman band intensities

The intensity of a Raman band of a solute is dependent on the refractive index of the solution. When instrumental effects are factored out, the intensity shows a general increase with refractive index, the dependence being linear in many of the systems studied. For the binary solutions examined ther...

Summary:The intensity of a Raman band of a solute is dependent on the refractive index of the solution. When instrumental effects are factored out, the intensity shows a general increase with refractive index, the dependence being linear in many of the systems studied. For the binary solutions examined there is no marked difference between polarized and depolarized bands or between polar and nonpolar solvents. No explanation for this behavior is advanced, current theories appearing inadequate.
