Vibrational modes of the stibine molecule

In this paper, we use the algebraic approach to describe the vibrational modes of stibine molecule (of C_3v molecular symmetry group) up to 21 quanta. As the stibine molecule exhibits stretch-bend resonances, we build an algebraic pyramidal coupling operator between stretching modes and bending modes adapted to this molecule. The standard deviation associated to the fit of the vibrational levels is 1.75 cm⁻¹.     

The High-Resolution Fourier Transform Spectrum of Dideuterated Methane CH2D2in the Region between 1900 and 2400 cm

The infrared spectrum of doubly deuterated methane CH₂D₂has been recorded in the region from 1900 to 2400 cm⁻¹at almost Doppler-limited resolution by using two high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometers. The vibrational bands observed include 2ν₄, ν₄+ ν₇, 2ν₇, ν₂, ν₈, ν₄+ ν₉, and ν₇+ ν₉, which were analyzed by taking into account Coriolis and Fermi interactions among them and also those with ν₄+ ν₅, ν₃+ ν₇, and ν₅+ ν₇. Most of the centrifugal distortion constants were constrained to appropriate values, while the vibrational term value and three rotational constants in each of the seven excited states were adjusted along with Coriolis and Fermi interaction parameters by the least-squares analysis of the observed spectrum. The vibration–rotation interaction constants α_sthus determined for the ν₂and ν₈states were combined with those of other fundamental states already published to calculate the equilibrium C–H distance.     

High Resolution Study of Deuterated Hydrogen Sulfide in the Region 2400-3000 cm

High resolution Fourier transform spectra of deuterated hydrogen sulfide have been recorded in the region 2400-3000 cm⁻¹. Rotational structures of the ν₁ + ν₂, ν₂ + ν₃ bands of D₂³²S, of the ν₃ and ν₁ + ν₂ bands of HD³²S, and of the ν₁ + ν₂ band of HD³⁴S were analyzed. Band centers and rotational, centrifugal distortion, and resonance parameters were obtained, which reproduce the initial values of the upper energy levels within a mean accuracy of 1.39 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹ for the states (110) and (011) of D₂³²S, 1.61 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹ and 1.82 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹ for the states (001) and (110) of HD³²S, and 2.09 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹ for the state (110) of HD³⁴S, respectively.

Analytical formulas are derived that describe the dependences of the transition probabilities in vibrational-rotational spectra of XY₃-type molecules with C _3v symmetry on the rotational quantum numbers.     

Water-vapor absorption spectrum in the 0.59-μm region

The paper gives the results of investigation of the water-vapor absorption spectrum in the range of 586.9–596.6 nm. In the given range, 282 water-vapor absorption lines were recorded and were identified as belonging to the bands 4ν₁ + ν₃, 3ν₁ + 2ν₂ + ν₃, 3ν₁ + 2ν₃. Theoretical justification of the technique for interpreting the observed spectrum was made. The values of more vibration-rotation levels of energy were determined: for state (401) up to J = 10, for state (321) up to J = 10, and for state (302) up to J = 8. The rotational and centrifugal constants of the reduced Watson's Hamiltonian for the vibrational states (401), (321), (302), and (222) and constants of Fermi resonance (401)-(321), (302)-(222), and Coriolis resonance between the states (401), (321), and (302), (222) were determined.     

An analysis of a superweak absorption spectrum of the SO<Subscript>2</Subscript> molecule using the variational procedure

The high resolution structure of a superweak 2ν₁+ν₂+ν₃−ν₂ band of sulfur dioxide, SO₂, is for the first time recorded with a Bruker IFS-120 HR Fourier spectrometer and analyzed using a specially derived procedure and a relevant computer code. As a result of the analysis, 115 lines have been found in the recorded spectrum, which allowed us to obtain high-accuracy values of the vibrational energy and rotational parameters of the highly excited vibrational state, (211).     

High-Resolution Infrared Study of PHD2: The P-H Stretching Bands ν1 and 2ν1

For the first time the infrared spectrum of PHD₂ was recorded in the region of the PH stretching fundamental ν₁ at 2324.005 cm⁻¹ and the overtone 2ν₁ at 4563.634 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 4.2×10⁻³ cm⁻¹ and 8.8×10⁻³ cm⁻¹, respectively. In the analyses about 1340 and 1020 transitions were assigned to the corresponding ν₁ and 2ν₁ bands, which provided 316 and 248 upper energies, respectively. Since both the bands are sufficiently isolated, a standard Watson-type Hamiltonian (A-reduction, I^r-representation) was employed. The obtained sets of spectroscopic parameters correlate very well both with each other, and with the corresponding parameters of the ground vibrational state.     

Joint Rotational Analysis of 16 Vibrational States of HDSe

High-resolution Fourier transform spectra of HD⁸⁰Se in the region of the ν₁+ν₃, 2ν₂+ν₃, 2ν₁+ν₂, 3ν₁, and ν₂+2ν₃ absorption bands, with centers located between 4000 and 5500 cm⁻¹, were recorded and rovibrationally analyzed. Energies of the (101), (021), (210), (300), and (012) states, together with those of the formerly reported (010), (100), (020), (001), (120), (110), (030), (011), (200), (002), and (003) states, were jointly used as input information in a “global fit” procedure. This fit provided 161 spectroscopic parameters which reproduce 3323 observed energies with accuracies close to experimental uncertainties. These parameters are compared with those predicted from H₂Se. Moreover, experimental band centers for HSeD are compared with those calculated theoretically.     

High-Resolution Study of the First Hexad of D(2)O

The high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the D(2)O molecule have been recorded and assigned in the 4200-5700 cm(-1) region where the vibration-rotation bands 2nu(1), 2nu(3), nu(1) + nu(3), nu(1) + 2nu(2), 2nu(2) + nu(3), and 4nu(2) are located. The presence of numerous and very strong accidental perturbations between the states of the hexad makes it necessary to take into account not only ordinary resonance interactions of the Fermi, Darling-Dennison, and/or Coriolis types, but interactions between the states (v(1)v(2)v(3)) and (v(1) -/+ 2v(2) +/- 2v(3) +/- 1) as well. Parameters of all six vibrational states of the hexad were obtained from the fit of experimental energy values. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
