ABSTRACT
The nu(6) (555.453 cm(-1)), the nu(3) (888.899 cm(-1)), and the very weak 2nu(6) infrared bands (2nu(-/+2)(6) 1101.734 cm(-1), 2nu(0)(6) 1100.102 cm(-1)) for the (28)Si species of D(3)SiF have been recorded with a resolution of 3.3, 2.4, and 5.0 x 10(-3) cm(-1), respectively. Millimeter-wave spectra up to 640 GHz of D(3)SiF in the ground, v(3) = 1, and v(6) = 1 and 2 states were measured. Ground state constants complete up to H constants including the K-dependent parameters A(0), D(0)(K), and H(0)(K) as obtained by the nu(+/-1)(6)/2nu(+/-2)(6)-nu(+/-1)(6)/2nu(-/+2)(6) loop method were determined by a merge of 2388 ground state combination differences with 59 rotational data. The v(3) = 1 and v(6) = 1 and 2 levels appear to be unperturbed intervibrationally for the J and K values that could be accessed. However, Deltal = Deltak = +/-2 and Deltal = +/-2, Deltak = -/+4 interactions affect the v(6) = 1 level while the v(6) = 2 levels undergo three interactions of Deltal = Deltak = +/-2, Deltal = +/-2, Deltak = -/+1 and Deltal = +/-4, Deltak = -/+2 type. Typically, for the different bands, 2000-4000 pieces of infrared data augmented by 36-120 rotational data were fitted together. Owing to the weakness of the 2nu(6) band, the body of v(6) = 2 data was enlarged by energies that are deduced from the 2nu(6)-nu(6) and nu(6) bands and which span in particular high K values. Comparison with available ab initio data derived from the harmonic and anharmonic force fields is made. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
ABSTRACT
An investigation of the sub-millimeter-wave spectra of the ionic complexes Ar.H+3 and Ar.D+3 is presented. These complexes were produced in a negative glow electric discharge, in mixtures of argon with either H2 or D2. About 80 new transitions were assigned in the 485-680 GHz frequency range using a sub-millimeter-wave spectrometer built with Russian made backward wave oscillators (BWO) sources. These measurements enabled us to observe the first Ka = 2 transitions for Ar.H+3 and the first Ka = 3 transitions for Ar.D+3. Analyses of the line frequencies were carried out using an IAM-like approach, which accounts for the large amplitude internal rotation motion displayed by both species. Insights into the geometry of the intermediate configuration for this large amplitude motion were gained. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
ABSTRACT
A large number of rotational transitions of 32S16O2, 34S16O2, and 32S18O16O have been measured in the mm-, submm-, and terahertz ( approximately 1 THz) spectral regions. These data sets have been combined with all previously measured SO2 microwave and selected far infrared data to obtain a highly precise set of ground state rotational constants for these isotopomers. The rotational constants for the three isotopomers are in MHz as follows: Parameter32S16O234S16O232S18O16O A60778.54977 (44)58991.18295 (51)59101.1690 (27) B10318.07348 (7)10318.50993 (9)9724.64284 (56) C8799.703399 (70)8761.302481 (97)8331.56018 (51) Centrifugal distortion constants up to P10 are included in the fit. A frequency listing of all the data used in the frequency range between about 7 GHz and 1 THz is included. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
