Infrared and Millimeter-Wave Study of the Four Lowest Torsional States of CH(3)CF(3)

An investigation of the torsion-rotation Hamiltonian of CH(3)CF(3) in the ground vibrational state has been carried out using infrared and mm-wave spectroscopy. With infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, the weak, torsional overtone (v(6) = 2 <-- 0) has been studied leading to the measurement of 382 frequencies between 405 and 440 cm(-1) at a resolution of 0.005 cm(-1). Torsional splittings on the order of 0.03 cm(-1) were observed. With mm-wave methods, a total of 669 rotational transitions between 50 and 360 GHz have been measured at Doppler-limited resolution in the four lowest torsional states v(6) = 0, 1, 2, 3. The experimental uncertainty attained for an isolated line was better than 10 kHz below 150 GHz, and somewhat larger at higher frequencies. For v(6) = 3, torsional splittings as large as 8.7 MHz were observed. The global data set consisted of the current frequency determinations and the 443 measurements with molecular beam, microwave, and mm-wave methods analyzed by I. Ozier, J. Schroderus, S.-X. Wang, G. A. McRae, M. C. L. Gerry, B. Vogelsanger, and A. Bauder [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 190, 324-340 (1998)]. The observation of mm-wave R-branch transitions for v(6) = 1 led to a change in the J-assignment of the forbidden (Deltak = +/-3) transitions reported earlier for this torsional state. A good fit was obtained by varying 24 parameters in a Hamiltonian that represented both the torsional effects and the sextic splittings. In the earlier work, the large reduced barrier height led to high correlations among several of the torsional distortion constants. With the current measurements, many of these correlations are substantially reduced. Improved effective values were determined for the height V(3) of the hindering barrier and the first-order correction V(6) in the Fourier expansion of the potential function. The dipole function which characterizes the transition moment of the torsional overtone (v(6) = 2 <-- 0) can be written as the product of a single effective dipole constant μ(T)(0,eff) and the appropriate off-diagonal matrix element of (1 - cos 3alpha)/2, where alpha is the torsional angle. From an intensity analysis of the infrared spectrum, it has been determined that |μ(T)(0,eff)| = 85.3(62) mD. A novel approach based on a simple regrouping of angular momentum operators is introduced for decoupling the torsional and rotational degrees of freedom. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Torsional Splitting in the nu(5) Fundamental Infrared Band of CH(3)CD(3) and (13)CH(3)CD(3)

The nu(5) fundamental (C-C stretching) of CH(3)CD(3) shows a resolved torsional structure, caused by perturbations due mainly to the linear dependence of the torsional potential barrier on the normal coordinate Q(5). We were able to analyze this structure and to assign vibration-rotation transition wavenumbers for all five torsional components, classified according to the symmetry species of the G(18)((3)) extended molecular group. The torsional splitting pattern is qualitatively similar to that of a nondegenerate vibrational state with an even number of excited torsional quanta v(6). Explorative calculations show that the main perturber system should consist of the torsional components of the vibrational ground state correlating with v(6)=4 in the high barrier limit. The strength of the perturbation on the E(r0) torsional components of nu(5) increases rapidly with r, the E(40) component being the most affected. The observed transition wavenumbers can be reasonably fitted by a simplified model containing independent effective vibration-rotation parameters for the five different torsional components of nu(5), for both CH(3)CD(3) and (13)CH(3)CD(3). The trend of the determined values of the effective vibrational wavenumbers and rotational parameters over the torsional components supports the proposed vibration-torsion interaction mechanism, responsible for the observed torsional splittings. A strong anomaly observed in the rotational intensity distribution of nu(5) is discussed. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

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.     

The Potential Energy Coefficients for Internal Rotation in CH(2)DSH and CHD(2)SH

An internal axis method (IAM) has been used to determine the potential energy coefficients V(1), V(2), and V(3) to internal rotation in CH(2)DSH and CHD(2)SH. Two torsional differences for the gauche ground states and one torsional difference for the excited states were used to fix the V's. A fourth term, K(varsigma), 3(e(2))-2(o(2)), determines the torsional state assignment for this Q-branch series as o(2) to e(2) that was not known previously. For CH(2)DSH, the potential energy coefficients are V(1) = 4.54 cm(-1), V(2) = -9.36 cm(-1), V(3) = 440.50 cm(-1); for CHD(2)SH, V(1) = -4.12 cm(-1), V(2) = 8.23 cm(-1), V(3) = 439.65 cm(-1). Nonrigidity coefficients have also been determined for both the trans and gauche conformations of the ground state. Copyright 2001 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.     

Near-Infrared Laser Spectroscopy of TiS: The b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta Transition

Laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of TiS in the 769-863 nm region has been recorded and analyzed. The TiS molecule was produced using the technique of laser vaporization/reaction with supersonic cooling. Twenty-one weak subbands have been assigned as being due to b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta, B(3)Pi(0)-X(3)Delta(1), and C(3)Delta-X(3)Delta transitions. Strong evidence shows that the b(1)Pi state is responsible for perturbing the v = 0, 1, and 2 levels of the C(3)Delta(1) subband. The molecular constants of the b(1)Pi state have been determined as follows: T(e) = 10 589.47 cm(-1), omega(e) = 542.14 cm(-1), omega(e)x(e) = 3.16 cm(-1), B(e) = 0.19568 cm(-1), and alpha(e) = 0.00085 cm(-1). The spin-orbit interaction between the b(1)Pi (v = 2 and 3) and C(3)Delta (v = 1 and 2) levels is discussed in terms of configuration interaction occurring between the b(1)Pi from the 11varsigma(1) 5pi(1) configuration and the (1)Pi from the 5pi(1) 1delta(1) configuration, and the C(3)Delta state from 12varsigma(1) 1delta(1) configuration.

A frequency analysis of the ν9 band of CD3CD3: experiment and ab initio calculations

The infrared gaseous spectrum of CD₃CD₃ has been measured in the range of 530–670cm^?1 to investigate vibration—torsion effects in the ν₉ band. Three separate spectra all taken under different experimental conditions were recorded. The lines with (ΔK = ?1) and with high values of K show torsional splittings that are substantially larger than expected from the observed barrier height. These splittings are caused primarily by Coriolis-type interactions between the torsional stack of ν₉ = 1 and the corresponding stack for the ground vibrational state. Because of a near-degeneracy that exists between the states (ν₉ = 0, ν₄ = 3) and (ν₉ = 1, ν₄ = 0), three subbands (K, σ) = (15,1), (16,2), (17,3) are resonantly perturbed. For these cases, perturbation-allowed 3ν₄ torsional transitions have been identified. Here σ= 0, 1, 2 or 3 labels the torsional sublevels. Measurements from the ν₉ and 3ν₄ bands, frequencies from the far-infrared torsional spectra in the ground vibrational state, and lower state combination differences from the ν₉ + ν₄ ? ν₄ band were fitted to within experimental uncertainty using an effective Hamiltonian which considered three torsional stacks; one for the ground vibrational state and two for ν₉ = 1. In all, 22 parameters were determined using a total of 2001 lines. Of these, three parameters were the interstack couplings, eight are from the ground vibrational state and 11 are from the excited vibrational state. Two barrier-dependent torsion—rotation parameters, which were essential for obtaining a satisfactory fit, were calculated by ab initio methods.     

The ν6, ν8 3ν4+ν12 infrared system of Si2H6 under high resolution: rotational and torsional analysis

A Fourier transform infrared spectrum of disilane has been measured at a Doppler limited resolution, and analysed in the region of the ν₆ and ν₈ fundamentals, from about 800 to 1020cm^?1. The torsional splittings are not resolved in the ν₆ band, showing that the splittings in the ν₆ = 1 state and in the ground state are almost identical. The torsional splittings in the reasonably unperturbed regions of the ν₈ fundamental are about 0.0146cm^?1, and a detailed rotation-torsion analysis shows that the intrinsic splittings in the ν₈ = 1 state are smaller than in the ground state by this amount. An intrinsic torsional splitting about 0.0150 cm^?1 is estimated in the vibrational ground state and in the ν₆ = 1 state, and almost vanishing in the ν₈ = 1 state (about 0.0004cm^?1), with a barrier height around 407cm^?1. This is in agreement with the expectation from theory. The ν₈ band, beyond a moderate x, y-Coriolis coupling with ν₆, is affected by several perturbations, also selective in the torsional components. The 3ν₄ + v¹² combination, with three quanta of the torsional mode excited and large torsional splittings, is the main perturber, causing both Fermi and Coriolis resonances in several regions of the spectrum. The vibrational origins of all four torsional components of 3ν₄ + v¹² were determined. Other perturbative effects are attributed to the systems 2ν₃ + ν₄, and ν₄ + 24₉(E + A). The spectrum was numerically analysed, and the relevant vibration-rotation-torsion parameters were determined.     

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.

Rotational Analysis of the Ground State and the Lowest Fundamentals nu(3), nu(5), and nu(6) of (13)CH(3)D

The nu(3), nu(5), and nu(6) fundamental bands of the (13)CH(3)D molecule have been studied with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The spectra and results for the parent species (12)CH(3)D (O. N. Ulenikov, G. A. Onopenko, N. E. Tyabaeva, J. Schroderus, and S. Alanko, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 193, 249-259 (1999)) have been used to assign and analyze about 1900 lines belonging to the (13)CH(3)D isotopic species. About 850 ground state combination differences with DeltaK = 0 were calculated, which allowed us to determine the J-dependent ground state rotational constants. The K-dependent constants as well as those describing the a(1)-a(2) (K = 3) splitting were fixed to the values obtained for the (12)CH(3)D species. The (v(3) = 1), (v(5) = 1), and (v(6) = 1) states were fit simultaneously by including the intervibrational interactions in the Hamiltonian. The rotational energies, the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, as well as the resonance parameters involving the three states have been determined and discussed.

The v(1)+v(3) Bands of the (16)O(17)O(16)O and (16)O(16)O(17)O Isotopomers of Ozone

Using 0.002 cm(-1) resolution Fourier transform absorption spectra of an (17)O enriched ozone sample, an extensive analysis of the v(1)+v(3) bands of the (16)O(17)O(16)O and (16)O(16)O(17)O isotopomers of ozone has been performed for the first time. The experimental rotational levels of the (101) vibrational states were satisfactorily reproduced using a Hamiltonian matrix that takes into account the observed rovibrational resonances. More precisely, for (16)O(17)O(16)O, as for the other C(2v)-type ozone isotopomers, it was necessary to account for the Coriolis type resonances linking the (101) rotational levels with the levels of the (200) and (002) vibrational states and the Darling-Dennison interaction coupling the levels of (200) with those of (002). For the C(s)-type isotopomer, namely (16)O(16)O(17)O, as for (16)O(16)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O(18)O, it proved necessary to also account for an additional DeltaK(a)&equals+/-2 resonance involving the rotational levels from (101) and (002) (J.-M. Flaud and R. Bacis, Spectrochimica Acta Part A 54, 3-16 (1998)). Using a Hamiltonian matrix which takes these resonances explicitly into account, precise vibrational energies and rotational and coupling constants were deduced, leading to the following band centers: v(0)(v(1)+v(3))=2078.3496 cm(-1) for (16)O(17)O(16)O and v(0)(v(1)+v(3))=2098.8631 cm(-1) for (16)O(16)O(17)O.

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.

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.

The (1)(3)Pi Electronic State of LaF

Rotational studies of bands of the infrared systems (1)(3)Pi-->(1)(3)Delta and (1)(3)Pi(1)-->X(1)Sigma(+) of lanthanum monofluoride were carried out with the aim of characterizing the (1)(3)Pi state, assuming the previous representations of X(1)Sigma(+) and (1)(3)Delta (1-3). The vibrational levels of (1)(3)Pi involved in the analyzed transitions were v=0, 1, 2 of the Omega=0 component, v=0, 1 of the Omega=1 component, and v=0 of the Omega=2 component. Perturbations were observed in both systems which were ascribed to spin-uncoupling interactions between (1)(3)Pi(2)(v=0) and (1)(3)Pi(1)(v=1) levels. A 9x9 matrix representation at equilibrium of the complex of interacting levels (v=0, 1, 2) was constructed, each diagonal v-block corresponding to a triplet model of the rovibrational (3)Pi Hamiltonian. The wavenumbers of some 1910 lines in the two systems were simultaneously fitted (rms error of the fit of about 0.0053 cm(-1)), thus yielding a consistent set of accurate spectroscopic constants for the (1)(3)Pi state; the spin-uncoupling interaction parameter was determined as B(Pi)(0, 1)=0.010917(13) cm(-1).

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).

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.
