Title: Solid-state vibrational spectra of methyl and methyl-d$_3$ cyanide
Abstract: The vibrational fundamentals of thin films of CH$_3$CN and CD$_3$CN at 77°K have been observed using a high- resolution, double-beam grating spectrometer. Evidence is presented for three absorptions, assigned to ν$_3$, ν$_6$, and (ν$_7$ + ν$_8$), in the 1300-1500 cm$^{-1}$ region of the CH$_3$CN spectrum. Annealing from an initial glassy state to a crystalline form is observed for these deposits. The multiplet structure of the annealed samples indicates that CH$_3$CN and CD$_3$CN crystallize in the orthorhombic, tetragonal, or trigonal system.
