High-Resolution Infrared Spectrum of CD(3)CN: Analysis of the Interacting nu(3) and nu(6) Bands and Evaluation of the A(0) Constant.

The infrared spectrum in the range 900-1230 cm(-1) including the fundamental bands nu(3) and nu(6) of CD(3)CN has been studied. The resolution attained was 0.0025 cm(-1) in the measurement on the Bruker 120 HR Fourier spectrometer in Oulu.

Rovibrational and Rotational Spectroscopy of Levels of Propyne around 1000 cm(-1).

Four vibrational levels in the energy region around 1000 cm(-1) were studied. These were the v(5)=1 and v(8)=1 fundamental levels, both components of the v(9)=v(10)=1 combination level (l(9)=l(10)=+/-1 and l(9)=-l(10)=+/-1), and both components of the v(10)=3 overtone level (l(10)=+/-1 and +/-3). New FTIR spectra with a synchrotron radiation source were recorded in the region of the "superhot" v(10)=3<--2 bands, which made possible the first assignment of levels of the v(10)=3(+/-1) sublevel.

The Coriolis-Coupled States v(6) = 1 and v(8) = 1 of DCOOH.

The Fourier transform gas-phase infrared spectra of the Coriolis-perturbed nu(6) and nu(8) bands of deuterated formic acid DCOOH were measured with a resolution of ca. 0.003 cm(-1).

Isotope Substitution in near Local Mode Molecules: Bending Overtones nnu2 (n = 2, 3) of the HDS Molecule.

There are two main goals in the present study: (a) to record and analyze the weak overtones nnu2 (n = 2, 3) of the bending fundamental nu2 of the HDS molecule and (b) to derive new isotopic relations for spectroscopic parameters applicable to predict, at least qualitatively, the structures of the excited bending states of HDX-type molecules.

First High-Resolution Study of the 13CHD3 Infrared Spectrum: Rotational Analysis of the Ground State and the Fundamentals nu5 and nu3/nu6.

The rotational structure in three fundamental bands nu3, nu5, and nu6 of 13CHD3 has been analyzed. As this study evidently is the first high-resolution investigation on the spectrum of this molecule, the determination of the ground state rotational constants was the necessary first step. The nu5 band (1290.
