Fourier transform absorption spectra of H2O and H2O in the 8000-9400 cm spectral region

Fourier transform spectra of water vapor enriched in ¹⁸O and ¹⁷O were recorded between 8012 and 9336 cm⁻¹ and analyzed for the first time. High accuracy ab initio predictions of line positions and intensities by Partridge and Schwenke [J. Chem. Phys. 106 (1997) 4618-4639; 113 (2000) 6592-6597] were used in the process of spectrum assignment. Transitions involving the (031), (111), (130), (210), and (012) upper vibrational states were identified in the recorded spectra. As a result, 514 and 244 precise ro-vibrational energy levels were derived for the H₂¹⁸O and H₂¹⁷O molecules, respectively. High-order resonance perturbations between levels of the vibrational states involved were evidenced leading to the identification of a number of rotational levels of the (050) and (060) highly excited bending states.     

A precise study of the rotational spectrum of formaldehyde H2CO, H2CO, H2CO, H2CO

The rotational spectra of formaldehyde, H₂¹²C¹⁶O and its isotopic species H₂¹³C¹⁶O, H₂¹²C¹⁸O, and H₂¹³C¹⁸O have been investigated in the ground vibrational state in the frequency region between 8 and 460 GHz. For most cases in which measurements of the a-type R- and Q-branch transitions already existed the accuracy of the line position has been improved to about 10 kHz. For H₂¹²C¹⁶O and H₂¹³C¹⁶O a large number of ΔK_a = ±2 transitions were measured with similar accuracy. These new data when combined with all other available data and appropriate weightings lead to a set of ground state parameters which for the first time are compatible with infrared and ultraviolet data. The rotational constants (and 3σ standard deviations) obtained using Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian are:

Global fit of the high-resolution infrared spectrum of D2S

High-resolution Fourier-transform spectra of the D₂S molecule in the regions of polyads of interacting vibrational states v = 3/2, 2, 5/2, 3 and 7/2 (v = v₁ + v₂/2 + v₃) were recorded for the first time with a Bruker IFS 120 Fourier-transform interferometer and analysed. A global fit of all currently available rotation-vibration energies has been made for 22 vibrational states of the D₂S molecule. The resulting set of 231 parameters reproduces all the initial experimental data (about 3670 vibration-rotation energies which correspond to more than 9700 ro-vibrational transitions with J^max = 25) with accuracies close to the experimental uncertainties.     

Fourier-transform absorption spectroscopy of H2O in the first hexade region

The Fourier-transform absorption spectrum of H₂¹⁸O was recorded in the 6000-7940 cm⁻¹ region and assigned on the base of the very accurate ab initio calculations by Partridge and Schwenke (PS) [J. Chem. Phys. 106 (1997) 4618-4639; J. Chem. Phys. 113 (2000) 6592-6597]. A set of 821 accurate rovibrational energy levels was obtained for six interacting states of the first hexad: (101), (120), (021), (200), (002), and (040). 290 of them are reported for the first time. The experimental line intensities are also estimated and compared with the PS calculations and the available literature data in the considered spectral range.     

Emission spectrum of hot HDO below 4000 cm

Fourier transform emission spectra were recorded using a mixture of H₂O and D₂O at a temperature of 1500 °C. The spectra were recorded in three overlapping sections and cover the wavenumber range 1800-3932 cm⁻¹. This spectrum is analyzed together with a previously reported one spanning the 380-2190 cm⁻¹ range [Parekunnel et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 2001 (28) 101]. This analysis leads to 4409 newly assigned HDO emission lines. This work particularly extends data on the (200) and (120) states of HDO for which newly determined energy levels are presented.     

High-resolution rotational analysis of HDS: 2ν3, ν2 + 2ν3, 3ν3, and ν2 + 3ν3 bands

High-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of the HD³²S molecule was studied in the region of 5000-9000 cm⁻¹. More than 1600 observed transitions yielded 239, 264, 131, and 116 upper state ro-vibrational energies of the states (002), (012), (003), and (013), respectively. With a Watson-type effective Hamiltonian model, the ro-vibrational parameters of these four upper states were determined by a least-square fitting which can reproduce the ro-vibrational energies close to the experimental accuracy. The relative linestrengths are also discussed.     

The observation of hot bands in the 288 nm system of the FeCl2 radical

The 288 nm band system of FeCl₂ has been recorded with a sample produced in a warmed, free-jet expansion at moderately high resolution (with a linewidth of 0.28 cm⁻¹). Under these conditions, several hot bands are observed involving excitation of the symmetric and anti-symmetric stretching vibrations. The wavenumbers determined as a result for FeCl₂ in its ground ⁵Δ_g,4 state are and . No hot, sequence bands in the bending vibration were observed. The most likely explanation is that the wavenumber for ν₂ is essentially the same in both the electronic states involved (88 cm⁻¹). Additional strong hot bands are observed that are unrelated to the previously assigned electronic transitions; they appear to emanate from a low-lying electronic state of FeCl₂.     

The vibrational spectrum of thiazole between 600 and 1400 cm revisited: A combined high-resolution infrared and theoretical study

The Fourier transform infrared gas-phase spectrum of thiazole, C₃H₃NS, has been recorded in the 600-1400 cm⁻¹ wavenumber region with a resolution around 0.0030 cm⁻¹. Nine fundamental bands (ν₅(A′) to ν₁₁(A′), ν₁₅(A″), and ν₁₆(A″)) are analysed employing the Watson model. Ground-state rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion constants as well as upper state spectroscopic constants have been obtained from the fits. A detailed analysis of perturbations identified in the ν₁₁(A′) band at 866.5 cm⁻¹ enables a definitive location of the very weak ν₁₀(A′) and ν₁₄(A″) bands at 879.3 and 888.7 cm⁻¹, respectively. The three levels are analysed simultaneously by a model including Coriolis resonance using an ab initio predicted first order c-Coriolis coupling constant; second and higher order Coriolis parameters are determined. Qualitative explanations in terms of Coriolis resonances are given for a number of crossings observed in ν₅(A′), ν₆(A′), and ν₇(A′) at 1383.7, 1325.8, and 1240.5 cm⁻¹, respectively. The rotational constants, anharmonic frequencies, and vibration-rotation constants (alphas, ) calculated by quantum chemical calculations using a cc-pVTZ and TZ2P basis with B3LYP methodology, have been compared with the present experimental data. The rotation constant differences for each vibrational state, from the ground state values, are closer to experiment from the TZ2P calculations relative to those using cc-pVTZ. The values for Δ_J, Δ_JK, Δ_K, δ_J, and δ_K are close to experiment with both basis sets.     

Identification of hot band transitions of CH4 near 3000 cm

Rovibrational transitions between vibrationally excited states of ¹²CH₄ in the 3.4 μm wavelength region are investigated by a pump-probe technique using an optical parametric oscillator as a pump and a tunable diode laser as a probe. Methane molecules are excited into selected levels of the 2ν₃ state of the tetradecad and numerous transitions between pentad and tetradecad, and between tetradecad and triacontad, have been observed in this spectral range. Positions and assignments of transitions involving a level of the 2ν₃ (F₂) substate are reported. Reliable energy values for 2ν₃ (F₂) levels up to J = 6 are obtained, and the energies and assignments of a number of 3ν₃ levels have been deduced allowing identification of IR lines in the 1.1 μm region.     

High-resolution study of the ν1 + ν2 and ν2 + ν3 strongly interacting bands of D2Se

A high-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of the D₂^MSe species (M = 82, 80, 78, 77, and 76) in the region 2300-2500 cm⁻¹ was recorded for the first time and assigned. On the basis of these experimental data, rotation-vibration energies of the (1 1 0) and (0 1 1) vibrational states were fitted, and band centers, and rotational, centrifugal distortion, and resonance interaction parameters were determined for the main D₂⁸⁰Se species. The obtained set of 32 fitted parameters reproduces the 647 rotation-vibration energies with a rms deviation of 0.00024 cm⁻¹. The ν₁ + ν₂ and ν₂ + ν₃ bands of the other four isotopic species are analyzed as well.     

High-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of H2S in the region of the second hexade

High-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrum of was recorded and analyzed in the region of the second hexade . More than 1700 transitions were assigned to the 2ν₁ + ν₂, ν₁ + ν₂ + ν₃, ν₁ + 3ν₂, 3ν₂ + ν₃, 5ν₂, and ν₂ + 2ν₃ bands with the maximum value of quantum number J equal to 18, 18, 13, 11, 13, and 9, respectively. The theoretical analysis was fulfilled with a Hamiltonian model which takes into account numerous resonance interactions between all the vibrational states in this polyad. By a least-square fitting, finally 505 upper energy levels were reproduced by 80 parameters with an rms deviation of 0.0019 cm⁻¹.     

High resolution study of the 6ν1 P-H stretching band of the PHD2 molecule

The high resolution spectrum of a phosphine gas mixture containing PHD₂ was recorded at room temperature in the 12 550-12 770 cm⁻¹ region. A high sensitivity laser photoacoustic spectrometer consisting of a longitudinal resonant cell coupled to a Ti:sapphire ring laser was employed. More than 600 transitions were assigned to the 6ν₁ overtone band of PHD₂ up to J^max=20, K_a^max=6. A Hamiltonian model developed up to the octic centrifugal distortion terms was used. Seven rotational and centrifugal distortion parameters were fitted, the other ones being fixed to their values linearly extrapolated from ν₁ and 2ν₁. The derived parameters reproduce the initial data within the experimental uncertainties. The isolated character of the P-H bond is confirmed.     

Experimental microwave collision diameters in the rotational spectrum of H2CO

Collision diameters for some select transitions in the rotational spectrum of H₂CO have been determined using pressure broadening of the spectral lines. Transitions of the type ΔJ = 0, K_?1 = 1, and ΔK₊₁ = 1 with 1 ≤ J ≤ 5 were investigated for both self-broadening and foreign gas broadening (He and H₂) of the spectral lines. Pressure ranges from 0.001 Torr to 0.1 Torr were explored in obtaining the line width parameters Δν_p for each transition. Collision diameters were found to be very nearly constant (14 Å) over the J states studied for H₂COH₂CO interaction, 2.5–5.8 Å for H₂COH₂ interaction and 2.7–3.5 Å for H₂COHe interaction.     

The ACE-FTS atlas of the infrared solar spectrum

The ACE-FTS is a space-borne Fourier transform spectrometer onboard SCISAT-1. The satellite was launched in August 2003 and since February 2004 the ACE-FTS has been performing solar occultation measurements in order to infer the chemical composition of the terrestrial atmosphere. The individual spectra recorded at the highest limb tangent altitudes (above 160 km) are by definition “high sun” spectra and contain no atmospheric contribution. In this work, an empirical solar spectrum covering the 700 to 4430 cm⁻¹ spectral range has been constructed from an average of 224,782 individual ACE-FTS solar spectra. Line assignments have been made for about 12,000 lines. The spectrum and two line lists are provided in the supplemental material attached to this work. Due to the excellent noise level achieved in the ACE-FTS solar atlas presented here, numerous weak absorption features are assigned which were not detectable in the ATMOS solar observations.     

Revised ultraviolet absorption cross sections of H2CO for the HITRAN database

A revised set of temperature-dependent absorption cross sections for ultraviolet (UV) measurements of formaldehyde (H₂CO) has been derived from two existing sets of laboratory cross sections, one using a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), and one using a grating instrument. This is conducted to satisfy the recommendation of the HITRAN Advisory Committee to provide a dataset with the spectral resolution and wavelength calibration of Fourier transform spectrometer measurements with the better intensity calibration that the grating measurements obtained. The re-scaled cross sections are now in the HITRAN database, and are recommended for use in atmospheric measurements and modeling, including photolysis calculations.

Determination of line strengths for selected transitions in the v2 band relative to the v1 and v5 bands of H2CO

The spectral line strengths in the v₂ band of H₂CO (segments spanning 1720-) have been determined relative to two sets of spectral line groups in the v₁ and v₅ band, using tunable diode laser spectroscopy. Simultaneous detection using a dual-diode instrument with a absorption cell was employed to assure identical H₂CO column density for the two spectral regions. The results in the selected regions of this study are in good agreement with the line positions and the relative intensities specified in an unpublished complete line listing for the v₂ band prepared by Linda Brown (see full text for reference). Based upon measurements of individual groups of spectral lines in the P, Q and R branches, the absolute band strength has been determined to be .     

The hot bands of silane between 2120 and 2270 cm

The infrared spectrum of the SiH₄ molecule has been recorded between 2040 and 2320 cm⁻¹ using the high-resolution Fourier interferometer of the Laboratoire de Photophysique Moléculaire (Orsay, France). The resolution was 5.4 × 10⁻³ cm⁻¹. In this region, many lines were previously analyzed and assigned to the ν₁/ν₃ stretching dyad of ²⁸SiH₄, ²⁹SiH₄, and ³⁰SiH₄ molecules [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 143 (1990) 35]. However, several lines in the spectrum were not assigned. The results obtained in our previous study [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 197 (1999) 307] of the infrared spectrum of ²⁸SiH₄, in the bending-stretching tetrad region at 3100 cm⁻¹, enabled us to assign 204 of the observed transitions to hot bands (the ν₁ + ν₂/ν₁ + ν₄/ν₂ + ν₃/ν₃ + ν₄ bending-stretching tetrad minus the ν₂/ν₄ bending dyad). These transitions were used to refine the set of the Hamiltonian parameters of the bending-stretching tetrad. The analysis is performed using the tensorial formalism developed in Dijon for tetrahedral molecules and implemented in the STDS software (http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/LPUB/shTDS.html).     

High-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of H2S in the region of 8500-8900 cm

High-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrum of H₂S was recorded and analyzed in the region of the polyad. More than 450 transitions were assigned to the 3ν₁ + ν₂ and 2ν₁ + ν₂ + ν₃ bands with the maximum values of quantum numbers J and K_a equal to 14, 7, and 14, 9 for these two bands, respectively. The theoretical analysis was fulfilled with the Hamiltonian which takes into account strong resonance interactions among the studied vibrational states (3 1 0), (2 1 1), and also “dark” states (0 3 2) and (2 3 0). The rms deviation is 0.0019 cm⁻¹. The intensity borrowing effect in the doublets in the P-branch transitions of the 3ν₁ + ν₂ and 2ν₁ + ν₂ + ν₃ bands is observed and discussed.     

Ignition by moving hot spheres in H2-O2-N2 environments

A combined experimental and numerical study was carried out to investigate thermal ignition by millimeter size ($d=6$ mm) moving hot spheres in H₂-O₂-N₂ environments over a range of equivalence ratios. The mixtures investigated were diluted with N₂ to keep their laminar flame speed constant and comparable to the sphere fall velocity (2.4 m/s) at time of contact with the reactive mixture. The ignition thresholds (and confidence intervals) were found by applying a logistic regression to the data and were observed to increase from lean ($\Phi =0.39$; T_sphere = 963 K) to rich ($\Phi =1.35$; T_sphere = 1007 K) conditions. Experimental temperature fields of the gas surrounding the hot sphere during an ignition event were, for the first time, extracted using interferometry and compared against simulated fields. Numerical predictions of the ignition thresholds were within 2% of the experimental values and captured the experimentally observed increasing trend between lean and rich conditions. The effect of stoichiometry and dilution on the observed variation in ignition threshold was explained using 0-D constant pressure delay time computations.
