The gas phase infrared band contours of s-triazine and s-triazine-d3: The fundamentals of C3N3H3 and C3N3D3 and some overtone and combination bands of C3N3H3

The systematic application of band contour techniques to account for most of the observed features of the ir spectra of s-triazine and s-triazine-d₃ have been made as well as a critique as to the limitations of such methods. The experimental and computer methods used to study the gas phase infrared band contours of s-triazine and s-triazine-d₃ are out-lined. Contours of the five E′ fundamentals of s-triazine have been recorded under moderate resolution and analyzed to give the Coriolis constants $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$, i = 6–10. The effects of l-resonance are very apparent for ν₈ and ν₉, in the form of holes in the Q branches of these bands. Under the highest resolution available, ν₆ and ν₁₀ also show l-resonance effects. Values of the l-doubling constants $\text{q}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{(+)}}$ were obtained for these four fundamentals. One of the parallel A₂″ fundamentals of C₃H₃N₃ (ν₁₂) has also been studied. It lies close to ν₁₀(E′) and an A × E type of second-order Coriolis resonance may be the cause of the intensity enhancement observed in the inner wings of the ν₁₂ and ν₁₀ bands. Hot bands of the type (ν_i + nν₁₄ ? nν₁₄) have been observed in the contours of ν₈, ν₁₀, and ν₁₂. This is felt to be responsible for the large difference between our observed zeta sum (?1.30) and the theoretical sum (?1.00).The gas phase infrared band contours of the five E′ and 2A₂″ fundamentals of C₃N₃D₃ have also been recorded under moderate resolution. From P-R separations and by computer simulation of the contours, values of the Coriolis constants $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$ have been obtained for the E′ modes. The effects of l-resonance have been observed for ν₈(E′) and ν₁₀(E′) and values of the l-doubling constants $\text{q}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{(+)}}$ have been estimated. An extensive series of hot bands of the type (ν₁₂ + nν₁₄ ? nν₁₄) has been observed in the contour of the ν₁₂ (A₂″) fundamental. The mass effect on the Coriolis constants has been discussed.Infrared band contours of the overtone 2ν₇ and seven degenerate E′ combination bands of C₃N₃H₃ have been recorded under moderate resolution. Analysis of these contours using the P-R separation method and computer simulation of the contours has given values of $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>eff</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$ for these bands. Fermi resonance between 2ν₇ and ν₆ has been analyzed. The importance of considering both the observed contour as well as the observed frequency when assigning higher tone bands is illustrated.
