High-resolution spectroscopy and analysis of the V2 + V3 combination band of SF6 in a supersonic jet expansion

2013

International audience; Sulphur hexafluoride is a very strong greenhouse gas whose concentration is increasing in the atmosphere. It is detected through infrared absorption spectroscopy in the strong ν3 fundamental region. Due to the existence of low-lying vibrational states of this molecule, however, many hot bands arise at room temperature and those are still not known. We present here a contribution to the elucidation of this hot band structure, by analysing the ν2 + ν3 combination band. We use a supersonic jet expansion high-resolution spectrum at a rotational temperature of ca. 25 K that was recorded thanks to the Jet-AILES setup at the Source Optimisée de Lumière d'Energie Intermédiai…

High-resolution spectroscopy of difference and combination bands of SF6 to elucidate the ν3 + ν1 − ν1 and ν3 + ν2 − ν2 hot band structures in the ν3 …

2014

The strong infrared absorption in the ν3 S–F stretching region of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) near 948 cm−1 makes it a powerful greenhouse gas. Although its present concentration in the atmosphere is very low, it is increasing rapidly, due to industrial pollution. The ground state population of this heavy species is only 32% at room temperature and thus many hot bands are present. Consequently, a reliable remote-sensing spectroscopic detection and monitoring of this species require an accurate modelling of these hot bands. We used two experimental set-ups at the SOLEIL French synchrotron facility to record some difference and combination bands of SF6: (1) a new cryogenic multiple pass cell w…

High resolution Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and analysis of the ν 6 band of jet-cooled Mo(CO) 6

2000

Abstract Rovibrational FTIR spectra of Mo(CO) 6 have been recorded in supersonic argon expansions at 0.004 cm −1 resolution. Rotational constants have been determined for the ν 6 fundamental band of Mo( 12 CO) 6 and for the parallel band of the symmetric top isotopomer Mo( 13 CO)( 12 CO) 5 . From these results, a precise estimate of the Coriolis parameter for the ν 6 band of the main isotopomer Mo( 12 CO) 6 is derived, necessary for the analysis of the ν 6 spectrum. The observation of an octahedral splitting clearly resolved for the highest J-lines in the R branch prompted the use of a specific treatment based on the tensorial formalism developed by J.P. Champion, M. Loete, G. Pierre (Spher…

Jet-cooled FTIR spectroscopy and analysis of the C–O stretch fundamental of Ni(CO)4

2008

Rovibrational spectra of the C–O stretch band (ν5) of Ni(CO)4 have been recorded at 0.006 cm− 1 resolution by coupling a low pressure continuous supersonic jet with a high resolution interferometer. The spectrum has been analysed thanks to the STDS software (see http://icb.u-bourgogne.fr/OMR/SMA/SHTDS/) that implements the tensorial formalism developed in the Dijon group for tetrahedral molecules. We obtain a very satisfying simulation thanks to an effective Hamiltonian expanded up to order 3. The asymmetry of the high-J lines is due to a small tetrahedral splitting and is well reproduced. The root mean square deviation is 0.96 × 10− 3 cm− 1. The Coriolis constant is somewhat larger than fo…
