The ground state rotational spectrum of SO2F2

Abstract The analysis of the ground state rotational spectrum of SO 2 F 2 [K. Sarka, J. Demaison, L. Margules, I. Merke, N. Heineking, H. Burger, H. Ruland, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 200 (2000) 55] has been performed with the Watson’s Hamiltonian up to sextic terms but shows some limits due to the A and S reductions. Since SO 2 F 2 is a quasi-spherical top, it can also be regarded as derived from an hypothetical XY 4 molecule. Thus we have developed a new tensorial formalism in the O (3)⊃ T d ⊃ C 2 v group chain (M. Rotger, V. Boudon, M. Loete, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 216 (2002) 297]. We test it on the ground state of this molecule using the same experimental data (10 GHz–1 THz region, J up to 99). Bot…

The 2009 Edition of the GEISA Spectroscopic Database

The updated 2009 edition of the spectroscopic database GEISA (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques; Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information) is described in this paper. GEISA is a computer-accessible system comprising three independent sub-databases devoted, respectively, to: line parameters, infrared and ultraviolet/visible absorption cross-sections, microphysical and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols. In this edition, 50 molecules are involved in the line parameters sub-database, including 111 isotopologues, for a total of 3,807,997 entries, in the spectral range from 10-6 to 35,877.031cm-1.The successful performances of the new …

Rotational spectra and hyperfine structure of isotopic species of deuterated cyanoacetylene, DC3N

Abstract Cyanoacetylene enriched in deuterium was used to record pure rotational transitions of DC 3 N and its rare 13 C and 15 N isotopic species by employing Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy on a supersonic-jet expansion at centimeter wavelengths (8.2–25.4 GHz) and by using long-path absorption spectroscopy at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths (82–900 GHz). In addition, submillimeter wave measurements (304–897 GHz) have been performed for DC 3 N in its v 7 = 1 lowest excited vibrational state. Hyperfine structure caused by the 14 N and D nuclei has been resolved in the FTMW spectra. Quantum-chemical calculations have been performed on the hyperfine structure paramete…

Determination of accurate rest frequencies and hyperfine structure parameters of cyanobutadiyne, HC5N

Very accurate transition frequencies of HC$_5$N were determined between 5.3 and 21.4 GHz with a Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The molecules were generated by passing a mixture of HC$_3$N and C$_2$H$_2$ highly diluted in neon through a discharge valve followed by supersonic expansion into the Fabry-Perot cavity of the spectrometer. The accuracies of the data permitted us to improve the experimental $^{14}$N nuclear quadrupole coupling parameter considerably and the first experimental determination of the $^{14}$N nuclear spin-rotation parameter. The transition frequencies are also well suited to determine in astronomical observations the local speed of rest velocities in molecula…
