“Forbidden” millimeter-wave transitions in arsine

A millimeter-wave spectrometer having a sensitivity of 4 × 10^?10 cm^?1 in the 2-mm region has been used for observation of the “forbidden” transitions J → J, K = ±4 → ±1 and J → J, K = ±5 → ±2 in AsH₃. A comprehensive computer analysis was made of the frequencies measured in this work together with available microwave frequencies of other transitions. This analysis provides accurate values of the rotational constants, nuclear quadrupole couplings, and effective structural parameters of the molecule. The spectral constants B₀ and C₀ (in MHz) are 112 470.597 and 104 884.665, respectively.     

Far infrared spectrum and spectroscopic constants of AsH3 in the ground state

The far ir spectrum of arsine, AsH₃, was recorded in the range 25–100 cm^?1 with a resolution of approximately 0.004 cm^?1. ΔJ = +1, ΔK = 0 rotational transitions were measured and assigned up to J″ = 12. These transitions, together with the presently available microwave and submillimeter-wave data and ground state combination differences, were analyzed on the basis of a rotational Hamiltonian which includes Δk = ±3 and Δk = ±6 interaction terms. The derived ground state molecular parameters reproduced the transition frequencies of both allowed and “perturbation allowed” transitions within the accuracy of the measurements. The equilibrium structure was determined for the AsH₃ molecule.     

Investigation of the Fine Rotational Structure of the Fourth (500; A 1, E) Overtone of the AsH3 Molecule

The results of investigations into the high-resolution Fourier spectrum of the AsH₃ molecule first registered in the range 9720–9900 cm^–1 with a resolution of 0.015 cm^–1 are given in the present paper. Lines of (500; A ₁) and (500; E) bands are interpreted by the method of combination differences. The spectroscopic constants of the examined arsine bands are determined by solving the inverse problem. They have allowed 98 rotational energy levels (with J ^max = 6) to be reproduced with errors close to the experimental ones.     

LOCAL MODE SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE AsH3 MOLECULE: THE PERTURBED (500) LOCAL MODE OVERTONE

The high resolution Fourier transform spectra of AsH₃ in the region of 9720-9900 cm^-1, which had been recorded at a resolution of 0.015 cm^-1, were assigned to the (500; A₁) and (500; E) local mode overtones and rotationally analyzed. The effective spectroscopic parameters were obtained by nonlinear least-squares fitting the vibration-rotational Hamiltonian with the rotational energy levels up to J=6 (98 levels in all) included. The evolution of the rotational energy patterns from v=1 to v=6 shows that the tendency of normal mode to local mode vibration evolution has been stopped by perturbations in relatively high energy region.     

Higher ro-vibrational levels of H2O deduced from high resolution oxygen-hydrogen flame spectra between 6200 and 9100 cm-1

The spectra of hydrogen-oxygen and acetylene-oxygen flames have been recorded on a Fourier transform spectrometer in the region 6200–9100 cm^-1 with a resolution of 0·015 cm^-1. In this region, we have performed a detailed analysis of the 2v ₂ + v ₃, v ₁ + v ₃, v ₁ + v ₂ + v ₃ - v ₂ and v ₁ + v ₂ + v ₃ bands. A primary motive for this study was to obtain higher rotational energy levels for the (021), (101) and (111) vibrational states. Moreover an extensive set of rotational levels of the (010) vibrational state has been deduced from the combined study of hot bands involving the (011), (021) and (111) vibrational states. A room-temperature absorption spectrum of water recorded on a Fourier transform spectrometer in the region 1750–2300 cm^-1 (resolution 0·005 cm^-1) has also been used to confirm the analysis.     

The 2v 2, v 1 and v 3 bands of H2 16O

The 2v ₂, v ₁ and v ₃ bands of H₂ ¹⁶O occurring in the region 2930–4255 cm^-1 were studied from a spectrum recorded with a high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (resolution: 0·005 cm^-1). The set of the observed transitions leads by a least squares method to the determination of very accurate values of the rotational levels belonging to the vibrational states (000), (020), (100), (001). From these levels, using Watson's Hamiltonian, we have obtained respectively 21 and 17 rotational constants for the states (000) and (020).

Submillimeter spectrum and spectroscopic constants of the arsine molecule in the ground vibrational state

The submillimeter spectrum of the arsine molecule, AsH₃, of both the allowed R-branch transitions (J + 1 ← J, J = 0, 1, 2, 3) and forbidden transitions of the Q branches, |K| = 4 ← 7, 5 ← 8, 6 ← 9, is investigated in the frequency range from 220 to 900 GHz. Weak absorption lines were observed by using the spectrometer RAD with sensitivity increased by a nontunable cavity cell. On the basis of the results obtained and microwave data available in the literature the rotational spectrum of the arsine molecule in the ground state is analyzed.     

Far infrared pure rotational spectrum of methylacetylene

The pure rotational spectrum of methylacetylene has been recorded in the far infrared region between 10 and 60 cm^?1 with a Fourier transform spectrometer whose theoretical resolution was 0.025 cm^?1. From the measured wavenumbers it has been possible to determine the rotational constants in the ground state and in the v₅ = 1, v₈ = 1, v₁₀ = 1, 2, 3, 4 levels.     

Absorption spectra of AsH2 radical in 435-510 nm by cavity ringdown spectroscopy

The absorption spectra of jet-cooled AsH₂ radicals were recorded in the wavelength range of 435-510 nm by cavity ringdown spectroscopy. The AsH₂ radicals were produced by pulsed DC discharge in a molecular beam of a mixture of AsH₃, SF₆, and argon. Seven vibronic bands with fine rotational structures have been identified and assigned as the , , and (n = 1-3) bands of the electronic transition. Based on the previous studies of AsH₂ radical, rotational assignments and rotational term values for each band were obtained, and the molecular parameters including vibrational constants, rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and spin-rotation interaction constants were also determined.     

Microwave spectrum and structure of methyl phosphonic difluoride

The rotational spectrum of methyl phosphonic difluoride has been reinvestigated using a pulsed-molecular-beam Fabry-Perot cavity microwave spectrometer. The enhanced resolution of the Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectrometer (compared to the original work done in a conventional Stark spectrometer) has allowed the measurement of small A-E splittings of many of the rotational transitions caused by the internal rotation of the methyl top. The barrier to internal rotation, V₃ = 676 (25) cm⁻¹, has been determined experimentally from the A-E splittings of the rotational transitions in the ground vibrational state. This barrier height is substantially lower than the previously determined value for the barrier, which was 1252 (14) cm⁻¹. High-level ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level predict a barrier to internal rotation of 638 cm⁻¹, in agreement with the experimentally determined value found here. The high sensitivity of the FTMW spectrometer has also permitted the measurement of the ¹³C and ¹⁸O isotopomers in natural abundance. The addition of these two isotopomers has allowed an improved structural determination.     

Infrared spectroscopy of van der Waals modes in the intermolecular potential of Ar-CO: The K a, = 0 combination of stretch and bending

Using our diode laser spectrometer a new subband of Ar^?CO in the 2167 cm^?1 region has been detected. We have assigned 18 rotational transitions to a thus far unobserved K _a = 0 van der Waals mode at 23.927cm^?1 above the ground state. An exact analysis yields a Coriolis coupling of this new observed state to a previously detected van der Waals state at 26.187cm^?1 [10]. The measurements and a complete analysis are presented.

The rotational spectrum of the morpholine–H₂O complex was measured and assigned using a Balle–Flygare type FT microwave spectrometer. Rotational, quartic centrifugal distortion, and¹⁴N quadrupole coupling constants were determined, and a N … H–O hydrogen-bonded structure was found to be consistent with the derived molecular parameters. Additionally, the rotational spectrum of the¹³C and¹⁵N isotopomers of the morpholine monomer were measured in natural abundance to determine itsr₀structure and a partial heavy atomr_sstructure.     

Symmetric linewidth variations in the electron resonance spectra of biradicals

The infrared emission spectrum of the Rydberg molecule XeH was recorded with the Kitt Peak Fourier transform spectrometer. XeH was made in a hollow cathode discharge of 2·2 torr H₂ and 0·1 torr Xe. The 0-0 bands of the C ²Π-B ²Σ⁺ and the D ²Σ⁺-C ²Π transitions were observed near 3250 cm^?1 and 4420 cm^?1, respectively. A rotational analysis provides spectroscopic constants for these states.

The rotational structure of the ν₂ band of D₂¹⁶O between 700 and 1550 cm^?1 has been analyzed from spectra recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer (nominal resolution: 0.1 cm^?1). By applying Watson's reduced Hamiltonian and a least squares method to the set of observed transitions, together with microwave data and the infrared data of Williamson, 22 rotational constants for the ground state and 17 for the upper state have been obtained which predict the positions of more than 700 observed lines with a standard deviation of 0.04 cm^?1.     

Study of processes of translational,rotational, and vibrational relaxation based on CARS spectra line shapes

This paper reviews the various physico-chemical processes responsible for actual linewidths encountered in high-resolution coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). Most of the experimental data are based on linewidth measurements using a pulseamplified CARS spectrometer with an emission bandwidth (FWHM) of 2×10^–3 cm^–1. Detailed rotational and vibrational relaxation constants have been obtained from the analysis of theQ-branch profiles of C₂H₂, N₂, CH₄, and SiH₄.     

Analysis of Coriolis perturbations in the high-resolution infrared spectra of arsine (AsH3)

Numerical methods for the analysis of high-resolution infrared spectra of symmetric top molecules perturbed by Coriolis interactions between degenerate and nondegenerate vibrational levels are discussed in the second order of approximation. Application to the high-resolution infrared spectra of the AsH₃ molecule in the region of the fundamentals ν₁, ν₃ and ν₂, ν₄ yields considerably improved values of the molecular constants of AsH₃, including the band origins rotational constants, Coriolis coupling constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and the parameter of the K-type doubling effect.     

Diode-laser spectroscopy of supersonic free jets

A supersonic-free-jet infrared spectrometer has been constructed for investigation of molecular vibrational spectra at low rotational and vibrational temperatures. The sensitivity of measurement in a pulsed jet is increased by employing a phase-sensitive detection method synchronized with the pulse frequency. The performance of the spectrometer is examined for the absorption lines of the NH₃ v ₂ band. A rotational temperature as low as 16K is attained when seeded in He. Cold-jet spectra are demonstrated for thev ₃ bands of PF₅,³⁴SF₆, and¹⁸²WF₆.     

The infrared spectrum of the Ar-CO complex Comprehensive analysis including van der Waals stretching and bending states

The infrared spectrum of the weakly-bound Ar-CO van der Waals complex in the 2150 cm^-1 region of the CO stretch has been studied using a continuous supersonic slit jet expansion coupled with a tunable laser spectrometer, and also with a cooled (57 K) long-path cell coupled with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Seven new subbands were observed, and previously observed bands were observed in greater detail. Four substates were thus identified for the first time, including the excited van der Waals stretching state, v ₃ = 1, and the excited bend, v ₂ = 1, within the ground CO stretching state, v _CO = 0. A comprehensive simultaneous analysis was made of all the existing infrared and microwave data on the complex for levels with K < 5, in order to obtain an accurate and self-consistent set of substate origins, rotational parameters, and centrifugal distortion parameters. A strong Coriolis interaction between K = 1 of the excited bend and K = 0 of the excited stretch was analysed in detail.     

A molecular beam Fourier transform microwave study of 2-methylpyridine and its complex with argon: structure,methyl internal rotation and 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling

The rotational spectrum of 2-methylpyridine (α-picoline, CH₃C₅H₄N) in the two lowest levels of methyl internal rotation (m=0, ±1) has been recorded in the frequency range from 2 to 15 GHz using a molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The high resolution and sensitivity of this spectroscopic technique allowed resolution of hyperfine structures due to ^l4N nuclear quadrupole coupling with high accuracy and detection of the spectra of the ¹⁵N- and all ¹³C-isotopomers. These investigations considerably extend the results from an earlier study on the normal species (Dreizler, H., Rudolph, H. D., and Mader, H., 1970, Z. Naturforsch., 25a, 25); improved rotational and centrifugal distortion constants as well as all components of the ¹⁴N quadrupole coupling tensor have been obtained. Analysis of the spectra of the isotopomers yielded the ^I4N quadrupole coupling constants χ _cc and χ _aa – χ _bb (for the ¹³C species), the potential parameter V ₃ for the barrier hindering the internal rotation of the methyl group, and, in particular, r_o, r_s r _m ⁽¹⁾ and r _m ⁽²⁾ structural parameters for the molecule. In addition to the microwave studies on the monomer, we have also investigated the rotational spectrum of the weakly bound dimer of normal 2-methylpyridine with Ar. The results obtained for the quadrupole coupling constants and the hindering potential for the internal methyl rotation show that the corresponding parameters are not significantly, or only slightly, changed in the complex.
