Vibration-rotation bands of 15N216O14N218O

The infrared spectrum of 64 bands of the isotopic species ¹⁵N₂¹⁶O of nitrous oxide and of 37 bands of ¹⁴N₂¹⁸O have been analyzed. The studied spectral range extends from 1750 to 6000 cm^?1 for ¹⁵N₂¹⁶O and from 1750 to 3100 cm^?1 for ¹⁴N₂¹⁸O. The effective rotational constants are given for 44 levels of ¹⁵N₂¹⁶O comprising 21Σ, 12Π, 7Δ, 4Φ levels and also for 29 levels of ¹⁴N₂¹⁸O comprising 13Σ, 7Π, 6Δ, 3Φ levels. Thirty-one levels (20Σ, 11Π) of the following isotopic species have also been studied: ¹⁵N₂¹⁷O, ¹⁵N₂¹⁸O, ¹⁴N¹⁵N¹⁸O, ¹⁵N¹⁴N¹⁸O, ¹⁴N₂¹⁷O. In ¹⁵N₂¹⁶O a local Coriolis resonance affects the 10⁰1 level. The “forbidden” Δ-Σ transition 12^2c0-00⁰0 is observed in the spectrum of ¹⁵N₂¹⁶O. The equilibrium values for the internuclear distances have been calculated.
