Analyses of the infrared absorption bands of (15)NO(3) in the 1850-3150 cm(-1) region.

We have observed the infrared spectrum of (15)NO(3) by a high resolution Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer using the reaction of F atoms with H(15)NO(3). Five (2)E'-(2)A(2)' bands are identified in the 1850-3150 cm(-1) region. The rotational analyses indicate that these bands have the lower state in common, which coincides with the ground state of planar D(3h) symmetry.
