High resolution analysis of the SO2 spectrum in the 2600–2900cm−1 region: 2ν3, ν2+2ν3−ν2 and 2ν1+ν2 bands

2012

Abstract Infrared spectrum of the SO 2 molecule was recorded with high resolution in the 2600– 2900 cm − 1 region. Spectrum was recorded with the Fourier transform interferometer Bruker IFS-120 HR in Oulu (Finland) with the pressure of 111 Pa and the absorption path length of 163.2 m that allowed us to record 2 ν 3 and 2 ν 1 + ν 2 weak bands. The 2 ν 3 band discussed earlier by Lafferty et al., was re-analyzed, and considerably more information was extracted from the spectrum (more than 3800 transitions of the 2 ν 3 band were assigned in the experimental spectrum with maximum values of quantum numbers, J max . = 76 and K a max . = 26 ). On the basis of the procedure discussed in Ulenikov et…
