Abstract
The spectra of free, low-frequency (0–3 THz) molecular rotations in liquid CCl4, H2O2, D2O, and H2O, which coincide with the spectra of same molecules in the gas phase, have been observed for the first time by means of four-photon coherent laser spectroscopy. The spectra of water and hydrogen peroxide reveal resonances at the frequencies corresponding to rotational transitions involving the ground vibrational states of the ortho and para spin isomers of water.
