## Abstract The vibrational spectra of trimethylene oxide are discussed in relation to the molecular symmetry groups C~2v~ and C~s~. The information avaible at present seems to support a C~2v~ model rather than a C~s~ model. An assignment for all of the 24 fundamentals is suggested, including the v

Abstract
New measurements of the depolarization ratios of the Raman lines of liquid trimethylene oxide and more accurate values of the rotational constants suggested a new assignment of the vibrational spectra of this molecule. A normal coordinate treatment has been carried out, showing good agreement with experimental data for the typical CH~2~‐group vibrations. For the strongly coupled ring vibrations much less satisfactory results were obtained from conventional values of force constants. The newly exposed assignment differs in several respects from previous work. For the low frequency non planar ring vibration ν~24~ two values of frequency were discussed, but no definitive choice has been achieved. The thermodynamic functions for the ideal gas have been recalculated.
