(old?) spectroscopy analysis notation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around an inquiry into an old spectroscopy analysis notation found in a 1934 dataset related to octane, specifically from "The Journal of Chemical Physics 9, 295 (1941); doi: 10.1063/1.1750899." The user is unable to decipher the notation, which includes terms like "1vd," "Ovd," and "lb." The conversation highlights the need for resources or references that explain this specific notation used in spectroscopy.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spectroscopy terminology and notation

Hello,

I've been studying spectroscopy in organic molecule and I came across an old data from 1934.

280(5b)(k,i±e), 297(1vd)(e), 354(1vd)(k,e),
378(1vd)(k,e), 398(Ovd) (e), 426(1vd)(k,e),
766(Ovd) (k,e), 807 (Od) (k,e), 817 (lb) (k,e),
842(1vd)(k,e), 862(2)(k,e), 878(3)(k,e),

This is a piece of the table for Octane. You can find it on the article: The Journal of Chemical Physics 9, 295 (1941); doi: 10.1063/1.1750899.

I couldn't identify this notation, and I am stuck on it.
Do you know where I can learn about this notation?

Thank you.
 
Why don't you try using Latex for writing equations?
 
Thanks for your replay.

This is not an equation. This is a table from the cited article, which I have no ideia what it is about.
