Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), synonym tetrachloromethane, has 74 electrons. It is nonpolar and possesses electronic polarizability of 12.46 × 10⁻⁴⁰ F m². The ionization potential is 11.47 eV. It has four vibrational modes as shown in Table 50.1 (Shimanouchi, 1972). The molecule is electron-attaching with a high electron affinity of 2.12 eV (see Sierra, 2005) and the lowest electronic excitation potential is below 7 eV (Jones, ...
