23 23 1992.9 and 2045 cm -1 do not belong to other linear SiC n Only linear SiC 3, SiC 6 and SiC 8 remain unidentified for SiC n (n < 9) SiC 3 and SiC 8 –Isotopic shift spectra don’t match SiC 6 –Ruled out because the strongest mode DFT predicts, ν 1 ∼ 2224 cm -1, is ∼ 180 cm -1 from observed 2045.0 cm -1 band.

24 24 Conclusions Based upon the observed and DFT predicted relative intensities isotopic shifts identifications are proposed for 3 asymmetric C-C stretch fundamentals of SiC 5 : ● ν 1 ( σ ) = 2045.0 cm −1 ν 4 ( σ ) = 936.9 ● ν 2 ( σ ) = 1992.9
