Analysis of the (ν1 + ν2) and (ν2 + ν3) combination bands of ozone

The fine structures of the (ν₁ + ν₂) and (ν₂ + ν₃) combination bands of ozone in the 5.7-μm region have been recorded and analyzed. The two vibrational states are coupled through Coriolis and second-order distortion terms. The interaction has been treated by the numerical diagonalization of the secular determinant for the two coupled states. With the centrifugal distortion parameters fixed to the ground state values, the following constants have been obtained: ν₁ + ν₂ = 1796.26₆, A₁₁₀ = 3.610₄, B₁₁₀ = 0.4414₅, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{110}\text{= 0.3902}{}_9$, ν₂ + ν₃ = 1726.52₆, A₀₁₁ = 3.553₇, B₀₁₁ = 0.4398₂, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{011}\text{= 0.3884}{}_4$, Y₁₃ = ?0.46₆, and X₁₃ = ?0.01₀ cm^?1. In addition, the following anharmonic constants have been obtained: x₁₂ = ?7.82₁ and x₂₃ = ?16.49₄ cm^?1. The value of the dipole moment ratio, $\text{R =}\text{〈011|μ}{}_{\mathrm{z}}\text{|0〉}\text{〈110|μ}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{|0〉}$, is 1.30 ± 0.10.
