Notes:
The spectra of methane adsorbed at low temperature in NaA zeolite show two strong effects of the field existing in the cavities: (i) the appearance of the ν1 forbidden band which increases when decreasing the temperature and (ii) the splitting of the ν3 degenerate band. The variation with T of its components lead to the conclusion that the molecule progressively is oriented in a C3V configuration with respect to the field.
