The vibrational spectra from 4000 to 33 cm-1 of several modecules which may be present in the atmosphere of the Jovian planets are studied to provide vibrational frequencies which can be used to: (1) determine the composition of the cloud covers of several of the planets; (2) provide structural information under favorable circumstances; (3) provide necessary data from which accurate thermodynamic data can be calculated; and (4) furnish information as to the nature of the potential energy function of the molecules and forces acting within them. Some of the molecules are produced photochemically from methane, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide which are thought to be constituents of the planets with reducing atmospheres. Some of the compounds polymerize under ultraviolet radiation and drop out of the atmospheres. However, planets with a hot base, like that of Jupiter, may rebuild molecules destroyed photochemically.
