Millimeter-wave spectrum and internal rotation of 1-silylpropyne,CH3CCSiH3

Rotational transitions of CH₃CCSiH₃ have been observed in the millimeter-wave region using a computer-controlled source-frequency modulation spectrometer with a 1.8-m-long free space absorption cell. The observed spectrum clearly showed the effect of internal rotation with a small potential barrier. It has been analyzed by calculating the torsion-rotation energies on the basis of torsional wave functions obtained by diagonalizing the torsional part of the Hamiltonian. The least-squares analysis has yielded the rotational constant B = 2068.2817(4) MHz and a few centrifugal distortion constants. The barrier height to internal rotation has been determined to be 3.77(70) cm^?1 from the contour map of the standard deviation. Also, the A rotational constant of the silyl group around the symmetry axis has been estimated by fixing the A constant of the methyl group to the value of CH₃CCH.     

The vibrational energy manifold of the lowest lying bending mode of tricarbon oxide sulfide,OCCCS,as determined by relative intensity measurements

The determination of a precise vibrational energy level scheme for the two-dimensional bending mode of tricarbon oxide sulfide (3-thioxo-1,2-propadiene-1-one), OCCCS, has been carried out by relative intensity measurements of rotational transitions up to the seventh excited vibrational state of ν₇. The harmonic wavenumber ω₇ was determined to be 84.50 ± 0.63 cm^?1 while the anharmonicity constant χ₇₇ was found to be ?0.62 ± 0.11 cm^?1, respectively. A linear dependence of the expectation value of the electric dipole moment on the vibrational quantum number υ₇ was found. All results confirm that in O CCCS the potential function describing the two-dimensional oscillator of ν₇ is very harmonic without a perturbing barrier to linearity as was found in the case of OCCCO.     

Detection of the microwave spectrum of tricarbon oxide sulphide,C3OS

The microwave spectrum of tricarbon oxide sulphide (3-thioxo-1,2-propadiene-1-one), OCCCS, is shown to be that of a linear molecule with B_o = 1413.898 MHz and D_o = 0.046 kHz. The dipole moment was determined to be 0.634 debye. As a five-atomic linear molecule C₃OS has three degenerate bending modes, ν₅, ν₆, and ν₇. The l-type doubling constant for each of these modes was determined, and the vibrational frequencies have been estimated from these values and from relative intensity measurements.     

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:

Frequency Lock of an Optically Pumped FIR Ring Laser at 803 and 1626 GHz

We report an automatic frequency control (AFC) for an optically pumped far infrared (FIR) ring laser applicable for high resolution THz sideband spectroscopy by mixing a fraction of the laser power and a harmonic of a phase-locked synthesizer on a planar Schottky diode. We achieve a relative frequency accuracy of about 0.5 kHz rms at 803 GHz ( ¹⁵ NH ₃ ) and about 1 kHz rms at 1626.6 GHz (CH ₂ F ₂ ) over hours of lock time. The absolute frequency accuracy is estimated to be about 5 kHz at 1626.6 GHz.     

The kinetic limitation of anti-stokes luminescence of Er3+ and Yb3+ doped infrared upconversion materials

Infrared-to-visible wave-length conversion in the Yb³⁺−Er³⁺ doped phosphors system has been described by a simple three level model based on two ions mechanism. The excitation in the range of 900–1000 nm of an IR-photon is first absorbed by Yb³⁺ ion as a sensitizer attributed to the resonant energy transition in Er³⁺ ion from ⁴ I _3/2 → ⁴ S _15/2 and ¹ F _9/2 → ⁴ I _15/2, respectively for green and red emission. The essential energy transfer processes in this system i.e. upconversion from ⁴ I _11/2 and ¹ I _13/2, cross-relaxation from ⁴ S _3/2 and ¹ F _9/2 are taken into account. The limitations of the rate-equation approach are examined with a focus on the underlying dynamics of this rare-earth system.     

Millimeter-Wave Spectra and Global Torsion-Rotation Analysis for the CH(3)OD Isotopomer of Methanol

New millimeter-wave and microwave measurements for CH(3)OD have been combined with previous literature data and with an extended body of Fourier transform far-infrared observations in a full global analysis of the first two torsional states (v(t) = 0 and 1) of the ground vibrational state. The fitted CH(3)OD data set contained 564 microwave and millimeter-wave lines and 4664 far-infrared lines, representing the most recent available information in the quantum number ranges J 相似文献   

The b-type rotational transitions of HNCO in the lowest excited vibrational state

In the microwave and millimeter wave spectra of HNCO, the b-type transitions between the K_a = 0 and 1 levels in the lowest excited vibrational state have been observed. Because of strong a-type Coriolis resonances among the three bending excited states the energy difference between the levels for K_a = 0 and 1 is much smaller in the lowest excited state than in the ground state. The subband origin of these b-type transitions has been found in the millimeter wave region at 275 697.309 MHz (9.1963 cm^?1). The effect of the Coriolis resonances is discussed in relation to the molecular quasi-linearity and is compared with the case of HNCS.     

What you thought you already knew about the bending motion of triatomic molecules

The bending vibrations of linear, quasilinear, and bent molecules are qualitatively different phenomena. Each of these cases has been fully described by quantum mechanical formulations in the last half century, but important two-dimensional aspects of all three cases as well as the relationship between the three types of bending behavior remain difficult to visualize. Simple two-dimensional figures can help to provide an introduction to basic spatial and mathematical aspects of the bending problem.     

Determination of the ground state rotational constants for formaldehyde: H212CO and H213CO

The two isotopic species CH₂DCOOH and CH₂DCOOD of acetic acid have been investigated with microwave spectroscopy in order to determine the equilibrium configuration of the methyl group, which was found to be eclipsed with respect to the carbonyl group. Centrifugal distortion constants free from internal rotation effects have been determined. A r_s structure for the four hydrogens and a partial r₀ structure for the whole molecule are given.
