Comprehensive high resolution study of the SiH(M=28,29,30) tetradecad stretching bands: Appearance and applications of the isotopic substitution effect in molecules of spherical symmetry.

A set of new relations between different spectroscopic parameters of the high symmetry XY spherical top molecules is derived on the basis of the general isotopic substitution theory, and a comprehensive high accurate analysis of the five stretching bands (the bands ν+ν(F), 2ν(F), 2ν(E), 2ν(A), and 2ν(A); the three latter ones are forbidden in absorption) of the tetradecad of the SiH molecule is made. The high resolution spectra of SiH(M=28,29,30) in their natural abundance were recorded with a Bruker IFS125 HR Fourier transform infrared spectrometer at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany with an optical resolution of 0.003 cm and theoretically analyzed (in this case, for the first time both for all five bands of the SiH and SiH species, and for 2ν(E), 2ν(A) bands of the SiH one).

High resolution spectroscopy of asymmetric top molecules in nonsinglet electronic states: the ν fundamental of chlorine dioxide (OClO) free radical in the XB electronic ground state.

Highly resolved spectra of the OClO isotopologue of chlorine dioxide were recorded with a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform infrared spectrometer in the region of the ν band. The analysis was made in the frame of the spin-rotational effective Hamiltonian (in A-reduction and I-representation) taking into account spin-rotational coupling operators up to the sixth order and the corresponding reduction of the Hamiltonian. The mathematical description of the ro-vibrational spectra was implemented to the specially created computer program ROVDES.

On the method and results of calculation of vibrational tetrahedral sub-level energies and resonance interactions in vibrational spectra of high symmetry molecules: CH and GeH as an application of the XY (T) molecule.

We report here the analytical description of one of the important problems in the study of XY (T) molecules, namely, description of vibrational tetrahedral sub-level structures and resonance interactions caused by the high symmetry of a molecule. The results obtained are applied to description of the vibrational energy spectrum of the CH and GeH molecules.

High-resolution spectroscopy of CHD: Line positions and energy structure of the strongly interacting ν,ν,ν,ν and ν bands.

High resolution infrared spectra of CHD were recorded in the region of 550-1950 cm with a Bruker IFS125 HR Fourier transform infrared spectrometers and rotational structures of the five lowest strongly interacting ν, ν,ν,ν and ν bands were analyzed. The number of about 28000 transitions (4200/6800/5600/5000/6400 for the bands ν,ν,ν,ν and ν) with J = 40 and K = 20 were assigned to these five bands. The weighted fit of 3990 upper energy values obtained from the experimentally recorded transitions was made with a Hamiltonian which takes into account resonance interactions between all studied bands as well as with the sixth ν band which was considered in this case as a "dark" one.

High resolution spectroscopy of the ν+ν band of the ClO free radical: Spin-rotation-vibration interactions.

The high resolution spectrum of the ν+ν band of the ClO free radical was recorded with a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and theoretically analysed with an improved theoretical basis including the reduced effective spin-rotation Hamiltonian (which takes into account sixth order operators describing spin-rotational interactions) and a newly created computer code ROVDES for the ro-vibrational spectra of open-shell free radicals. About 2600 spin-ro-vibrational transitions with the values N=59 and K=17 (being about 2.4 times higher in comparison with the number of assigned transitions known in the literature) were assigned to the ν+ν band of ClO and 1049 spin-ro-vibrational energies (produced only from unblended non-saturated and not very weak experimental lines) of the (101) upper vibrational state were obtained.

High resolution ro-vibrational analysis of molecules in doublet electronic states: the fundamental of chlorine dioxide (OClO) in the electronic ground state.

We report the spectrum of the ν1 fundamental of chlorine dioxide centered in the infrared atmospheric window at 945.592 cm-1 measured with essentially Doppler limited resolution at an instrumental line width of 0.001 cm-1 using the Zürich prototype ZP2001 Bruker IFS 125 HR Fourier transform infrared spectrometer.

On the method of precise abundance determination of isotopologues in a gas mixture.

A method is presented which allows one to derive partial pressures of isotopologue molecules in a gaseous mixture under the conditions of rapid isotope exchange. For this purpose, isotopic relations between effective dipole moment parameters of a "parent" molecule and its related isotopically substituted species are derived on the basis of the general isotopic substitution theory. The efficiency of the method is illustrated.

Survey of the high resolution infrared spectrum of methane ((12)CH4 and (13)CH4): partial vibrational assignment extended towards 12,000 cm(-1.).

We have recorded the complete infrared spectrum of methane (12)CH4 and its second most abundant isotopomer (13)CH4 extending from the fundamental range starting at 1000 cm(-1) up to the overtone region near 12,000 cm(-1) in the near infrared at the limit towards the visible range, at temperatures of about 80 K and also at 298 K with Doppler limited resolution in the gas phase by means of interferometric Fourier transform spectroscopy using the Bruker IFS 125 HR prototype (ZP 2001) of the ETH Zürich laboratory. This provides the so far most complete data set on methane spectra in this range at high resolution. In the present work we report in particular those results, where the partial rovibrational analysis allows for the direct assignment of pure (J = 0) vibrational levels including high excitation.

High resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy of CH2D2 in the region 2350-2650 cm(-1): the bands nu5 + nu7, 2nu9, nu3 + nu4, nu3 + nu7 and nu5 + nu9.

The IR spectrum of the CH2D2 molecule has been measured in the region of 2350-2650 cm(-1) on a Bomem DA002 Fourier transform spectrometer with a resolution of 0.004 cm(-1) (FWHM, apodized) and analyzed with a Hamiltonian model which takes into account resonance interactions between all vibrational states in that region. More than 3000 transitions have been assigned to the bands 2nu9, nu3 + nu4, nu5 + nu9, nu5 + nu7 and nu3 + nu7 using ground state combination differences from the known ground state parameters.

High-Resolution Study of the (v(1) + 12v(2) + v(3) = 3) Polyad of Strongly Interacting Vibrational Bands of D(2)O.

Analysis of the high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the D(2)O first decade was carried out in the framework of the Hamiltonian model which took into account resonance interactions between the seven states, (300), (201), (102), (003), (220), (121), and (022). Assigned from the experimentally recorded spectrum transitions belonged to the four bands, 2nu(1) + nu(3), 3nu(3), nu(1) + 2nu(2) + nu(3), and 3nu(1), gave the possibility both of obtaining rotational, centrifugal distortion, and resonance interaction parameters of "appeared" states, (201), (003), (121), and (300), and of estimating from the fit band centers, rotational, and resonance interaction parameters of the three "dark" states, (220), (022), and (102).

High-Resolution Study of Strongly Interacting Vibrational Bands of HDO in the Region 7600-8100 cm(-1).

The high-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of the HDO molecule was recorded and analyzed in the region 7600-8100 cm(-1) where the weak vibration-rotation bands 3nu(1) and nu(1) + nu(2) + nu(3) are located. Because of the presence of strong local resonance interactions, transitions belonging to the 3nu(2) + nu(3) and 6nu(2) bands were assigned as well. Spectroscopic parameters of all four bands were estimated, which reproduce initial line positions with accuracy close to experimental uncertainties.

High-Resolution Fourier Transform Spectrum of the D(2)O Molecule in the Region of the Second Triad of Interacting Vibrational States.

The high-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of the D(2)O molecule was recorded in the 3200-4200 cm(-1) region, where the bands of the second triad of interacting vibrational states are located. As a result of the theoretical analysis, both the rotational-vibrational structure of the (011) vibrational state was improved, and the rotational energies of the (110) and (030) vibrational states were determined for the first time up to rotational quantum numbers J(max.) = 15 and 14, respectively.

High-Resolution Study of the First Hexad of D(2)O.

The high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the D(2)O molecule have been recorded and assigned in the 4200-5700 cm(-1) region where the vibration-rotation bands 2nu(1), 2nu(3), nu(1) + nu(3), nu(1) + 2nu(2), 2nu(2) + nu(3), and 4nu(2) are located. The presence of numerous and very strong accidental perturbations between the states of the hexad makes it necessary to take into account not only ordinary resonance interactions of the Fermi, Darling-Dennison, and/or Coriolis types, but interactions between the states (v(1)v(2)v(3)) and (v(1) -/+ 2v(2) +/- 2v(3) +/- 1) as well. Parameters of all six vibrational states of the hexad were obtained from the fit of experimental energy values.
