High resolution pure rotational spectrum of water vapor enriched by H217O and H218O

The pure rotational spectrum of a mixture of H₂¹⁶O, H₂¹⁷O and H₂¹⁸O between 50 and 730 cm^?1 was recorded on the Fourier transform spectrometer at the University of Oulu. The resolution achieved was about 0.010 cm^?1 and the precision of the unblended lines was better than 0.001 cm^?1. About 1100 lines were assigned. The measured line positions of H₂¹⁷O and H₂¹⁸O were compared with the values derived from the rotation and distortion constants given in the literature.
