SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the analysis of Raman spectra for Cyclohexane, specifically focusing on the 802 cm-1 and 2853 cm-1 peaks. Participants noted conflicting results regarding which peak should exhibit higher intensity, influenced by factors such as excitation laser wavelength and sample preparation. Cyclohexane is commonly used as a reference material for calibration in Raman spectroscopy, but variations in instrument response and calibration methods can lead to differing peak intensities across different spectrometers. The consensus indicates that both peaks can vary in intensity based on specific experimental conditions.
