ABSTRACT
The high-resolution (0.05 cm(-1)) spectra of gas-phase H2SO4, HDSO4, and D2SO4 were measured over the frequency region 1200-10,000 cm(-1) using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The increased resolution of this work compared with previous studies has lead to an improved vibrational analysis of H2SO4. This study has answered unresolved questions about combination bands and overlapping features from previous gas-phase spectroscopic studies of H2SO4 and marks the first experimental measurement of the nu8 and nu15 torsional vibrations in this molecule. This work leads to a brief discussion on vibrational mode mixing in sulfuric acid.

Spectra of gas phase HNO3 were collected in the region 2000-8500 cm(-1) using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. This region is dominated by the nu1 O-H stretching mode but also contains many previously unreported combination bands and overtones. This work marks the first observation of Fermi resonance the 2nu1 O-H stretching overtone. Previously unobserved bands were assigned and integrated intensities were obtained. For bands already reported in the literature, comparisons of relative intensities are presented when possible. This work gives a brief discussion on the trends in overtone intensities and on mode mixing in HNO3 in relation to previous experimental and theoretical studies.
