Experimental and quantum-chemical characterization of heavy carbon subchalcogenides: Infrared detection of SeC3Se
2021
Abstract High-resolution infrared studies of laser ablation products from carbon-selenium targets have revealed a new vibrational band at 2057 cm−1 that is identified as the ν 3 vibrational fundamental of the SeC3Se cluster. Because of the rich isotopic composition of selenium and the heavy nuclear masses involved, the vibrational band shows a relatively compact and complex structure despite the simple linear geometric arrangement. Overall, rotational-vibrational lines of six isotopologues could be assigned and fitted permitting the derivation of an accurate selenium-carbon bond length. Spectroscopic analysis has been greatly supported by high-level quantum-chemical calculations of the mol…
High-Resolution Spectroscopy and Structure of Osmium Tetroxide. A Benchmark Study on 192OsO4
2012
Osmium tetroxide (OsO(4)) is a heavy tetrahedral molecule that constitutes a benchmark for quantum chemistry calculations. Its favorable spin statistics (due to the zero nuclear spin of oxygen atoms) is such that only A(1) and A(2) (T(d) symmetry) rovibrational levels are allowed, leading to a dense but quite easily resolvable spectrum. We reinvestigate here the ν(1)/ν(3) stretching fundamental (940-980 cm(-1)) dyad region and perform new assignments and effective Hamiltonian parameter fits for the main isotopologue ((192)OsO(4)). We also investigate the ν(2)/ν(4) bending fundamental dyad (300-360 cm(-1)) for the first time and perform a preliminary analysis. New experimental data have been…
The equilibrium structure of trans-glyoxal from experimental rotational constants and calculated vibration–rotation interaction constants
2003
A total of six high-resolution FT-IR spectra for trans-glyoxal-d2, trans-glyoxal-d1 and trans-glyoxal-13C2 were recorded with a resolution ranging from 0.003 to 0.004 cm−1. By means of a simultaneous ground state combination difference analysis for each of these isotopologues using the Watson Hamiltonian in A-reduction and Ir-representation the ground state rotational constants are obtained. An empirical equilibrium structure is determined for trans-glyoxal using these experimental ground state rotational constants and vibration–rotation interaction constants calculated at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The least-squares fit yields the following structural parameters for trans-glyoxal…
Extended Fourier-transform spectroscopy studies and deperturbation analysis of the spin-orbit coupled A1Σ+ and b3Π states in RbCs.
2014
The article presents a study of the strongly spin-orbit coupled singlet A(1)Σ(+) and triplet b(3)Π states of the RbCs molecule, which provide an efficient optical path to transfer ultracold molecules to their rovibrational ground state. Fourier-transform A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π → X(1)Σ(+) and (4)(1)Σ(+) → A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded for the natural mixture of the (85)Rb(133)Cs and (87)Rb(133)Cs isotopologues produced in a heat pipe oven. Overall 8730 rovibronic term values of A(1)Σ(+) and b(3)Π states were determined with an uncertainty of 0.01 cm(-1) in the energy range [9012, 14087] cm(-1), covering rotational quantum numbers J ∈ [6, 324]. An energy-ba…

2008
Unsubstituted silanethione, H(2)Si=S, has been characterized experimentally for the first time by means of rotational spectroscopy; the equilibrium structure of this fundamental molecule has been evaluated through a combination of experimental data from a total of ten isotopologues and results of high-level coupled-cluster calculations.
High-resolution FTIR spectra analysis of sulfur dioxide isotopologues
2019
In this thesis we considered the spectral properties of the sulfur dioxide. The experimental FTIR spectra of numerous sulfur dioxide isotopologues, 32S16O2, 34S16O2, 32S18O2 and 32S16O18O, were first recorded in the regions of fundamental, «hot», combination and overtone bands. The wide variability of the experimental conditions gave possibility to observe and identify for the first time transitions be¬ longing to the following of ro-vibrational bands: 3v2, 3v2 - v2, 2v2 - v2 bands of 32S16O2; 2v2 - v2 band of 34S16O2; v1 + v2, v2 + v3, v1 + v3, 2v1, 2v3 bands of 32S18O2; v1, v3, 2v1, v1 + v3, 2v3 bands of 32S16O18O. The inverse spectroscopic problems were solved for the studied states with…
A mass-independent expanded Dunham analysis of aluminum monoxide and aluminum monosulfide
2018
Abstract Pure rotational transitions of 27Al16O, 27Al18O, 27Al32S, and 27Al34S are recorded in the vibrational ground state and singly excited vibrational state using a mm-wavelength supersonic jet spectrometer in combination with a laser ablation source. In total 275 rotational transitions have been assigned. For the first time, mass-independent expanded Dunham analyses are performed using isotopologues of aluminum monoxide and aluminum monosulfide. The breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is observed. Based on these mass-independent analyses, frequency positions of pure rotational transitions of the rare radioactive isotopologues 26AlO and 26AlS are predicted with uncertainties…
Methane line parameters in the HITRAN2012 database
2013
International audience; The compilation of methane molecular line parameters was updated to include new global analyses and measurements for 12CH4, 13CH4 and 12CH3D. Over 70% of the methane parameters in HITRAN2008 were replaced; existing parameters retained were the microwave lines and the Dyad of 13CH4 near 7 μm and ν6 of 13CH3D near 8.7 μm, 12CH3D (7-4076 cm-1), hot bands of 12CH4 (1887-3370 cm-1) and normal sample CH4 (4800-5550 cm-1 and 8000-9200 cm-1). With a minimum intensity at 296 K in units of cm-1/(molecule cm-2) set to 10-37 for the far-IR and 10-29 for the mid- and near-IR, the methane database increased from 290,091 lines in HITRAN2008 to 468,013 lines, and three-fourths of th…
Mass-independent analysis of the stable isotopologues of gas-phase titanium monoxide – TiO
2021
More than 130 pure rotational transitions of $^{46}$TiO, $^{47}$TiO, $^{48}$TiO, $^{49}$TiO, $^{50}$TiO, and $^{48}$Ti$^{18}$O are recorded using a high-resolution mm-wave supersonic jet spectrometer in combination with a laser ablation source. For the first time a mass-independent Dunham-like analysis is performed encompassing rare titanium monoxide isotopologues, and are compared to results from high-accuracy quantum-chemical calculations. The obtained parametrization reveals for titanium monoxide effects due to deviations from the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Additionally, the dominant titanium properties enable an insight into the electronic structure of TiO by analyzing its hyperfin…
Infrared spectroscopy of ruthenium tetroxide and high-resolution analysis of the ν3 band
2015
Abstract RuO 4 is a heavy tetrahedral molecule which has practical uses for several industrial fields. Due to its chemical toxicity and the radiological impact of its 103 and 106 isotopologues, the possible remote sensing of this compound in the atmosphere has renewed interest in its spectroscopic properties. New, higher resolution FTIR spectra have been recorded at room temperature, using an isotopic pure sample of 102 RuO 4 and a sample with all stable isotopes present in natural abundance. We reinvestigate here the strong ν 3 stretching fundamental region and perform new assignments and effective Hamiltonian parameter fits for the five main isotopologues ( 99 RuO 4 , 100 RuO 4 , 101 RuO …
