New measurements and global analysis of chloromethane in the region from 0 to 1800cm−1

Abstract New high resolution Fourier transform spectra of pure 12CH335Cl and 12CH337Cl isotopomers of chloromethane have been recorded in Wuppertal covering the region from 600 to 3800 cm−1. New rotational transitions within the v2=1, v5=1, and v3=2 states have been measured at Lille. A first global analysis of the lower four band systems of the molecule (700–1800 cm−1) is reported. The model was based on an effective Hamiltonian and dipole moment expressed in terms of irreducible tensor operators. A common set of 125 effective hamiltonian parameters (sixth order) has been adjusted to fit simultaneously some 11 000 IR data for each of the isotopomers including 153 mm wave data for 12 CH3 35…

Line intensities of CH3D in the Triad region: 6–10μm

Abstract Line intensities of the three lowest fundamentals of the 12CH3D Triad are modeled with an RMS of 3.2% using over 2100 observed values retrieved by multispectrum fitting of enriched sample spectra recorded with two Fourier transform spectrometers. The band strengths of the Triad in units of 10−18 cm−1/(molecule cm−2) at 296 K are, respectively, 2.33 for ν6 (E) at 1161 cm−1, 1.75 for ν3 (A1) at 1307 cm−1 and 0.571 for ν5 (E) at 1472 cm−1. The total calculated absorption arising from 12CH3D Triad fundamentals is 4.65×10−18 cm−1/(molecule cm−2) at 296 K. In addition, some 740 intensities of nine hotbands are fitted to 8.1%; most of the hotband measurements belong to 2ν6−ν6 and ν3+ν6−ν3…

The Intensities of Methane in the 3–5 μm Region Revisited

The analysis of the linestrengths of the infrared spectrum of methane (12 and 13) in the 3-5 µm region has been revisited on the basis of new measurements from Fourier transform spectra recorded at Kitt Peak under various optical densities. A simultaneous fit of these new data with previously reported tunable difference-frequency laser data has been done. An effective transition moment model in tensorial form up to the third order of approximation within the Pentad scheme has been used. The standard deviations achieved are very close to the experimental precision: 3 and 1.5%, respectively, for the two sets of data for the (12)CH(4) molecule, representing a substantial improvement with respe…

Methane line parameters in HITRAN

Abstract Two editions of the methane line parameters (line positions, intensities and broadening coefficients) available from HITRAN in 2000 and 2001 are described. In both versions, the spectral interval covered was the same (from 0.01 to 6184.5 cm −1 ), but the database increased from 48,033 transitions in 2000 to 211,465 lines in 2001 because weaker transitions of 12 CH 4 and new bands of 13 CH 4 and CH3D were included. The newer list became available in 2001 in the “Update” section of HITRAN. The sources of information are described, and the prospects for future improvements are discussed.

Calculated Line Broadening Coefficients in the nu2 Band of CH3D Perturbed by Helium

International audience; Line broadening coefficients have been calculated, at room temperature, for lines in the P and R branches of the nu2 band of monodeuterated methane. A properly symmetrized semiclassical model with parabolic relative trajectories has been used. Two interaction potential models have been considered. The first is a Lennard-Jones type atom-atom potential, while the second one was derived from ab initio calculations. The calculated line widths were compared to the available experimental data and a satisfactory agreement was found, although the model contains no other adjustable parameters than the four atomic Lennard-Jones ones. Nonetheless, failures of calculations have …
