Microwave, Submillimeter-Wave, and High-Resolution FTIR Study of SO(2)F(2) in the nu(8) State

The high-resolution infrared spectrum of the nu(8) band of SO(2)F(2) (nu(as) SF(2)) centered at 887.2 cm(-1) has been recorded with a resolution of 2.4 x 10(-3) cm(-1). More than 8000 transitions of the C-type band with DeltaK(a) = +/-1 (and in addition some DeltaK(a) = +/-3 transitions) have been assigned. Microwave and millimeter-wave spectra of the v(8) = 1 state up to 450 GHz have been recorded, and 177 pure rotational transitions have been measured. Rotational and rovibrational data have been combined, and excited state parameters up to sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined using a Watson-type Hamiltonian in S-reduction. No perturbation was indicated. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Infrared and Millimeter-Wave Study of the Fermi-Coupled v(2) = 1 and v(3) = 2 States of DSiF(3)

The nu(2) (nu(eff.) 854.841 cm(-1)) and 2nu(3) infrared bands (nu(eff.) 840.083 cm(-1)) of DSiF(3) have been studied with a resolution of 2.5 x 10(-3) cm(-1). Moreover, millimeter-wave transitions in the v(2) = 1 and v(3) = 2 states up to J" = 33 have been measured. The assignments and fit of the poorly resolved, compressed cluster-type 2nu(3) IR transitions have been confirmed by a simultaneous study of the 2nu(3)-nu(3) band. The constant W = 5.116 cm(-1) of the Fermi interaction between the v(2) = 1 and v(3) = 2 levels has been determined from frequency effects which are in agreement with relative intensities of the nu(2) and 2nu(3) bands. The deperturbed (B(0) - B(v)) and (C(0) - C(v)) values of the states involved agree with their ab initio predictions within 7% in the worst case. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

The nu(1) and nu(3) Bands of the (17)O(16)O(17)O Isotopomer of Ozone

Using 0.002 cm(-1) resolution Fourier transform absorption spectra of an (17)O-enriched ozone sample, an extensive analysis of the nu(3) band together with a partial identification of the nu(1) band of the (17)O(16)O(17)O isotopomer of ozone has been performed for the first time. As for other C(2v)-type ozone isotopomers [J.-M. Flaud and R. Bacis, Spectrochim. Acta, Part A 54, 3-16 (1998)], the (001) rotational levels are involved in a Coriolis-type resonance with the levels of the (100) vibrational state. The experimental rotational levels of the (001) and (100) vibrational states have been satisfactorily reproduced using a Hamiltonian matrix which takes into account the observed rovibrational resonances. In this way precise vibrational energies and rotational and coupling constants were deduced and the following band centers nu(0)(nu(3)) = 1030.0946 cm(-1) and nu(0)(nu(1)) = 1086.7490 cm(-1) were obtained for the nu(3) and nu(1) bands, respectively.

Rovibrational Study of the CH(2) Wagging Fundamental of Monofluoroacetonitrile

The vapor-phase infrared spectrum of monofluoroacetonitrile (CH(2)FCN) has been recorded at high resolution in the nu(4) band region (1363-1398 cm(-1)) using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. A detailed assignment of the rotational structure of the expected a-/b-hybrid band has been made for a-type transitions with K(a)相似文献   

First High-Resolution Infrared Observation of the Symmetry-Forbidden nu(5) Band of (10)B(2)H(6)

Spectra of (10)B monoisotopic diborane, B(2)H(6), have been recorded at high resolution (2-3 x 10(-3) cm(-1)) by means of Fourier transform spectroscopy in the region 700-1300 cm(-1). A thorough analysis of the nu(18) a-type, nu(14) c-type, and nu(5) symmetry-forbidden band has been performed. Of particular interest are the results concerning the nu(5) symmetry-forbidden band, which is observed only because it borrows intensity through an a-type Coriolis interaction with the very strong nu(18) infrared band located approximately 350 cm(-1) higher in wavenumber. The nu(5) band has been observed around 833 cm(-1) and consists of a well-resolved Q branch accompanied by weaker P- and R-branch lines. Very anomalous line intensities are seen, with the low K(a) transitions being vanishingly weak, and Raman-like selection rules observed. The determination of the upper state Hamiltonian constants proved to be difficult since the corresponding energy levels of each of the bands are strongly perturbed by nearby dark states. To account for these strong localized resonances, it was necessary to introduce the relevant interacting terms in the Hamiltonian. As a result the upper state energy levels were calculated satisfactorily, and precise vibrational energies and rotational and coupling constants were determined. In particular the following band centers were derived: nu(0) (nu(5)) = 832.8496(70) cm(-1), nu(0) (nu(14)) = 977.57843(70) cm(-1), and nu(0) (nu(18)) = 1178.6346(40) cm(-1).

High-Resolution FTIR Spectrum of the nu(9) Band of Ethylene-D(4) (C(2)D(4))

The spectrum of the nu(9) fundamental band of ethylene-d(4) (C(2)D(4)) has been measured with an unapodized resolution of 0.004 cm(-1) in the frequency range of 2300-2400 cm(-1) using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. A total of 549 transitions have been assigned and fitted using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r) representation to derive rovibrational constants for the upper state (v(9) = 1) up to five quartic terms with a standard deviation of 0.00087 cm(-1). They represent the most accurate rovibrational constants for the nu(9) band so far. About 30 transitions of K(a)(') = 0, one transition of nu(9) which were identified to be perturbed possibly by the nearby nu(11) and nu(2) + nu(12) transitions, were not included in the final fit. The nu(9) band of C(2)D(4) was found to be basically B-type with an unperturbed band center at 2341.836 94 +/- 0.000 13 cm(-1). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Spectrum and Rovibrational Analysis of the nu(2)/nu(5) Dyad of D(3)SiF near 700 cm(-1)

The nu(2) (A(1), 710.157 cm(-1)) and nu(5) (E, 701.717 cm(-1)) fundamental bands of D(3)(28)SiF have been studied by FTIR spectroscopy with a resolution of 2.4 x 10(-3) cm(-1). We assigned 1648 lines for the parallel band (J(max) = 50, K(max) = 21), 4279 for the perpendicular band (J(max) = 52, K(max) = 27), and in addition 671 perturbation-allowed transitions (J(max) = 50, K(max) = 12). The nearly degenerate v(2) = 1 and v(5) = 1 states are linked by (DeltaK = +/-1, Deltal = +/-1) and (DeltaK = +/-2, Deltal = -/+1) interactions, while the l(5) = +/-1 levels of nu(5) interact also by l(2, -1), l(2, 2), and l(2, -4) interactions. The first model with 36 free parameters, taking into account all these resonances through a nonlinear least-squares program, gave standard deviations of 1.56 x 10(-4) cm(-1) for 5997 nonzero-weighted IR data and 138 kHz for 8 MW data from the literature. The second model, in which the main Coriolis term was constrained to a force field value, used 37 parameters and gave similar standard deviations. A new determination of the A(0) and D(0)(K) ground state parameters was performed by two methods: either using differences between "forbidden" transitions differing by 3 in K or letting A(0) and D(0)(K) free in the global fit. The values obtained are fully compatible with those obtained previously by the "loop method." Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Rovibrational Analysis of the nu(2) Band of Diazirine-d(2)

The gas-phase IR spectrum of the nu(2) (A(1), 1610.33 cm(-1)) band of the deuterated isotopomer of diazirine, D(2)CN(2), a three-membered ring compound which belongs to the molecular symmetry point group C(2v), has been studied at a resolution of about 0.005 cm(-1). This vibrational mode which can be approximately described as N&dbond;N stretching is widely perturbed. This is due to various interactions with the tetrad consisting of the binary combinations nu(6) + nu(7) (A(1)), nu(7) + nu(9) (A(2)), nu(5) + nu(6) (B(2)), and nu(5) + nu(9) (B(1)), which form a relatively isolated pentad together with nu(2) in the wavenumber region 1560-1610 cm(-1). A simultaneous upper state analysis of nu(2) from a pentad model including these resonances has been performed and a set of spectroscopic parameters has been obtained. Since the four combination bands of the pentad are dark states, only band centers could be determined; in addition for nu(5) + nu(9) and nu(7) + nu(9) also the term (B - C)/2 has been obtained. A number of Coriolis interaction constants and the vibrational resonance (with nu(6) + nu(7)) parameter have been calculated as well. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Fourier Transform and Diode-Laser Spectroscopy of the nu(6) Fundamental of C(2)F(6) and Associated Hot Bands

High-resolution infrared spectra of the nu(6) (713 cm(-1)) band region of C(2)F(6) vapor have been recorded at several temperatures. Spectra at 77, 200, and 300 K were recorded using a Fourier transform spectrometer with unapodized resolutions of 0.0018 cm(-1) (200 and 300 K) and 0.008 cm(-1) (77 K). Spectra with rotational temperatures in the range 5-50 K were recorded in a supersonic jet using diode-laser absorption spectroscopy. The nu(6) band contains two clear sequences of hot-bands: one arises from the nu(4) torsional vibration at 67.5 cm(-1); the other, shorter, weaker progression is built on the doubly degenerate nu(9) vibration at 220 cm(-1). They lie to high and low wavenumbers of the fundamental band, respectively. Eleven series were assigned and fitted to these hot bands. A perturbed series in the nu(4) sequence is considered, by analogy with the infrared spectrum of C(2)H(6) vapor, to be caused by an xy-Coriolis interaction either between 5nu(4) and nu(9) + 2nu(4) in the ground state or, in the upper state, nu(6) + 5nu(4) with nu(6) + nu(9) + 2nu(4) or nu(6) + 5nu(4) with 2nu(8). One further series resolved only in the jet spectrum and lying very close to the fundamental is almost certainly due to the nu(6) fundamental of the isotopomer (13)C(12)CF(6).

High-Resolution Absorption Spectroscopy of the 3nu(1) and 3nu(1) + nu(3) Bands of Propyne

The 3nu(1) and 3nu(1) + nu(3) bands of propyne have been recorded at Doppler-limited resolution by Fourier transform spectroscopy and intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy, respectively. The two bands show a mostly unperturbed J rotational structure for each individual K subband. However, as a rule the K structure ordering is perturbed in overtone transitions of propyne and different effective parameters associated with each K subband have been determined. From the vibrational energy levels, a value of -6.6 cm(-1) has been obtained for the x(13) cross anharmonicity in perfect agreement with the origins of the nu(1) + nu(3) and 2nu(1) + nu(3) combination bands estimated from the FTIR spectrum. Hot bands from the v(9) = 1 and v(10) = 1 levels associated with the 3nu(1) + nu(3) combination band have been partly rotationally analyzed and the retrieved values of x(39) and x(3,10) are in good agreement with literature values. Finally, the 4nu(1) + nu(9) - nu(9) band centered at 12 636.6 cm(-1) has been recorded by ICLAS. The red shift of this hot band relative to 4nu(1) and the DeltaB(v) value are discussed in relation to the anharmonic interaction between the 4nu(1) and 3nu(1) + nu(3) + nu(5) levels.

High-Resolution FTIR Spectrum of the nu(12) Band of trans-d(2)-Ethylene

The nu(12) band of trans-d(2)-ethylene (trans-C(2)H(2)D(2)) has been recorded with an unapodized resolution of 0.0024 cm(-1) in the frequency range of 1240-1360 cm(-1) by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. This band was found to be relatively free from any local frequency perturbations. By fitting a total of 1185 infrared transitions of nu(12) with a standard deviation of 0.00043 cm(-1) using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r) representation, a set of accurate rovibrational constants for v(12) = 1 state was derived. The nu(12) band is A type with a band center at 1298.03797 +/- 0.00004 cm(-1). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Fourier Transform Spectra of the E(2)Pi(u)-X(2)Pi(g)((3/2)) System of CuCl(2)

High-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the laser-induced fluorescence of (63)Cu(37)Cl(2) produced in a cell have been recorded following excitation of a single vibronic level of the E(2)Pi(u) electronic state. Fluorescence occurs in combination bands to a broad spread of levels in the ground electronic state. A global vibronic model is proposed for the ground state based on an effective Hamiltonian, which fits the experimental data (2782 fluorescence lines, lower state quantum numbers: v(1) = 0-6, v(2) = 0-2, v(3) = 0-6, and J = 4(1/2)-80(1/2)) to 0.019 cm(-1) rms error. Vibrational, rotational and Renner-Teller parameters are obtained (e.g., omega(2) = 95.195(36) cm(-1), B(e) = 0.055106(3) cm(-1), epsilon = -0.1893(28)). A revised value for the equilibrium internuclear distance Cu-Cl is deduced: r(e)(Cu-Cl) = 0.20341(3) nm. The energy diagram of vibronic levels in the ground state is plotted up to 4000 cm(-1).

High-Resolution Analysis of the nu(4) Absorption Band of CH(2)(79)BrF

The gas-phase infrared spectrum of the nu(4) fundamental band of CH(2)(79)BrF was recorded in the 1010-1116 cm(-1) wavenumber region using a TDL spectrometer. In this first high-resolution investigation of the synthesized (79)Br isotopic form, more than 10 200 transitions of this a/b-hybrid band centered at 1068.5385 cm(-1) were assigned and, using the Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r)-representation, a reliable set of molecular constants for the excited state v(4) = 1 was determined. From ground state combination differences having rotational quantum numbers J and K(a) up to 97 and 21, respectively, improved and extended ground state rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were calculated as well. Comparison between the observed and calculated band intensities in appropriate regions of the spectrum gave an estimate of the transition dipole-moment ratio along the a and b axes as ||Deltaμ(a)/Deltaμ(b) || = 2.0 +/- 0.2, in agreement with the predicted theoretical value of 1.99.

Absolute Intensities Measurements in the nu(4) + nu(5) Band of (12)C(2)H(2): Analysis of Herman-Wallis Effects and Forbidden Transitions

We measured absolute line intensities in two bands of (12)C(2)H(2) near 7.5 μm, namely the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(+)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) and nu(4) + nu(5)(Delta(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) bands, using Fourier transform spectroscopy with an accuracy estimated to be better than 2%. Using theoretical predictions from Watson [J. K. G. Watson, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 188, 78 (1998)], the observation of the forbidden nu(4) + nu(5)(Delta(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band and the Herman-Wallis behavior exhibited by its rotational lines were studied quantitatively in terms of two types of interactions affecting the levels involved by the band: l-type resonance and Coriolis interaction. In the case of the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(+)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band, the influence of l-type resonance is also confirmed. We also attributed the intensity asymmetry observed between the R and P branches of that latter band to a Coriolis interaction with l = 1 levels. We did not observe the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(-)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band, consisting only of a Q branch, in agreement with Watson's prediction. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

The Coriolis Interaction between the nu(9) and nu(7) Fundamental Bands of Methylene Fluoride

The infrared spectrum of the nu(12) fundamental band of ethylene (C(2)H(4)) has been measured with an unapodized resolution of 0.004 cm(-1) in the frequency range of 1380-1500 cm(-1) using the Fourier transform technique. By assigning and fitting a total of 1387 infrared transitions using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r) representation, rovibrational constants for the upper state (v(12) = 1) up to five quartic and three sextic centrifugal distortions terms were derived. They represent the most accurate constants for the band so far. The rms deviation of the fit was 0.00033 cm(-1). The A-type nu(12) band with a band center at 1442.44299 +/- 0.00003 cm(-1) was found to be relatively free from local frequency perturbations. The inertial defect Delta(12) was found to be 0.24201 +/- 0.00002 u ?(2). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Anomalous Vibrational Dependence of the Rotational and Hyperfine Parameters in the B(4)Pi-X(4)Sigma(-) Transition of NbO

The laser excitation spectrum of jet-cooled NbO in the region 16 000-18 000 cm(-1) has been recorded at high resolution, giving rotational and hyperfine constants for the levels v=0-3 of the B(4)Pi state and v=1 of the X(4)Sigma(-) state; zero gaps have also been measured at low resolution for some weaker bands involving higher vibrational levels. Taken together with the laser data for the B-X (0,0) band from Adam et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 94, 6240-6262 (1994)) and the Fourier transform emission data for the doublet manifold from Launila et al. (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 186, 131-143 (1997)), the new data give a very complete picture of the vibrational energy level pattern in this region. Strong irregularities in the vibrational dependences of the B(4)Pi rotational and hyperfine constants can be interpreted in terms of spin-orbit interaction between the B(4)Pi state and the f(2)Pi, e(2)Phi, and d(2)Delta states. The interaction is strong enough that all three doublet states can be seen in absorption from the X(4)Sigma(-) ground state, adding to the complexity of the spectrum. The hitherto unknown sigmadeltasigma* (4)Delta state is estimated to lie near 17 500 cm(-1), from the change of sign in the spin-rotation parameter gamma of the B(4)Pi state between v=2 and 3.

High-Resolution Infrared Study of the nu(7), nu(8), and nu(15) Bands and Millimeter-Wave Investigation of the v(8) = 1 State of CF(2)Cl-CH(3)

High-resolution (Deltavarsigma = 2.3 and 2.9 x 10(-3) cm(-1)) FTIR spectra of natural and (35)Cl monoisotopic CH(3)CF(2)Cl have been recorded at -70 degrees C in the 600-1400 cm(-1) range. The bands nu(7), nu(8), and nu(15) have been rotationally analyzed for both isotopic varieties. With the help of predictions based on nu(8) parameters, the millimeter-wave spectrum of the (35)Cl species in the v(8) = 1 state has been observed and jointly fitted with the IR data. Only a small number of local perturbations have been detected in the spectra. Altogether more than 8000 IR transitions have been fitted with an experimental precision of ca. 3 x 10(-4) cm(-1).

High-Resolution Study of the Mid-Infrared Region of FNO(2)

Of the gas-phase IR spectrum of nitrylfluoride, FNO(2), between 1200 and 1900 cm(-1), the bands nu(4), 2nu(6), nu(2) + nu(3), and nu(1) have been studied at a resolution of ca. 0.003 cm(-1). Improved ground state rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained from a simultaneous analysis of the data from F. Hegelund, H. Bürger, and G. Pawelke [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 184, 350-361 (1997)] and the present data from nu(4) and nu(1). The nu(4) and 2nu(6) bands are free from local perturbations, and upper state spectroscopic constants have been obtained from the conventional Watson Hamiltonian. The bands nu(1) and nu(2) + nu(3) are strongly perturbed by Coriolis interactions with the nearby dark levels nu(5) + nu(6), nu(3) + nu(6), and nu(2) + nu(5). Upper state constants for nu(1) and nu(2) + nu(3) are obtained from triad and tetrad models, respectively, including Coriolis resonances within this system. In addition Coriolis interaction parameters and the vibrational energies for the three dark states together with some of their rotational constants are determined from the observed perturbation effects on nu(1) and nu(2) + nu(3).

Torsional Splitting in the Degenerate Vibrational States of (70)Ge(2)H(6): Rotation-Torsion Analysis of the nu(7) and nu(9) Fundamentals

The rotational and torsional structure of the nu(7) and nu(9) degenerate fundamentals of (70)Ge(2)H(6) has been analyzed under high resolution. The torsional structure of both v(7) = 1 and v(9) = 1 states can be fitted by a simple one-parameter formula. The x,y-Coriolis interaction with the parallel nu(5) fundamental was accounted for in the analysis of nu(7). A strong perturbation of the J structure of the E(3s) torsional component of the KDeltaK = -2 subbranches of nu(9) can be explained by the resonance with an E(3s) excited level of the pure torsional manifold. The perturber is centered at 361.58 cm(-1), very close to the value estimated with a barrier height of 285 cm(-1). This confirms that the fundamental torsional wavenumber is close to 103 cm(-1), in good agreement with the "ab initio" prediction. The torsional splittings of all the infrared active degenerate fundamentals, nu(7), nu(8), and nu(9), follow the trend predicted by theory, and have been fitted by exploratory calculations accounting only for the torsional Coriolis-coupling mechanism of all degenerate vibrational fundamentals in several torsional states. This confirms that torsional Coriolis coupling is the dominant mechanism responsible for the decrease of the torsional splitting in the degenerate vibrational states. A higher value of the barrier had to be used for the nu(9) mode. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Infrared Diode Laser Spectrum of the nu(1) Fundamental Band of ClBO

The nu(1) band of ClBO has been recorded using infrared diode laser spectroscopy. The molecule was produced by reacting oxygen atoms, produced in a microwave discharge containing an O(2)/He mixture, with BCl(3). Thirty-three lines of the (35)Cl(11)B(16)O isotopomer and 32 lines due to the (37)Cl(11)B(16)O isotopomer have been assigned. By fixing the ground state constants to those previously obtained by microwave spectroscopy, a least-squares fit (rms = 0.0008) gave the following upper state constants; (35)Cl(11)B(16)O: nu(0) = 1972.18024(21) cm(-1), B(1) = 0.1725055(12) cm(-1); (37)Cl(11)B(16)O: nu(0) = 1971.82846(24) cm(-1), B(1) = 0.1688402(13) cm(-1). The rotational constants of all the fundamental bands of ClBO have been used to calculate an r(e) structure yielding r(e(B-Cl)) = 167.668(26) pm and r(e(B-O)) = 121.308(26) pm.
