High resolution infrared spectrum of the ν1 band of 14N16O2

The infrared spectrum of the ν₁ band of ¹⁴N¹⁶O₂ has been recorded with a resolution of about 0.025 cm^?1 in the region extending from 1480 to 1270 cm^?1. From about 1350 cm^?1, the absorption became progressively weaker and no absorption at all could be detected below the band origin located at 1319.797 cm^?1. Because series with low values of K_a could not be measured, constants which depend strongly upon the molecular asymmetry could not be determined.
