HIGH RESOLUTION STIMULATED RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY WITH A 3 MHz ACCURACY WAVEMETER

Study of the v3 = 1 State of 80SeF6 by Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of monoisotopic 80SeF6 has been recorded in the 760-792 cm-1 region with an effective resolution of ca. 2.3 x 10(-3) cm-1. The 80SeF6 sample was prepared by burning monoisotopic 80Se powder (99.2%) in an excess of fluorine. The analysis of infrared transitions of the nu3 band enabled the determination of parameters of the Hamiltonian developed up to the third order and the fourth order. The standard deviation obtained is equal to 4 x 10(-4) cm-1 for the third-order development and 3.2 x 10(-4) cm-1 for the fourth-order development. In the two analyses, 2900 lines were assigned and fitted. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press
