High resolution FTIR study of the ν5, ν6, and ν9 fundamental bands of CH2D37Cl

Abstract The first high-resolution infrared spectra of CH2D37Cl have been investigated in the region 650–1100 cm−1 where the lowest fundamental bands ν5 (826.2626 cm−1), ν6 (708.4307 cm−1), and ν9 (986.3405 cm−1) occur. These vibrations perturb each other by different weak interactions and the v5 = 1 and v6 = 1 states were treated according to a model which accounts for a c-type Coriolis resonance. The spectral analysis resulted in the identification of 1664, 2550 and 2657 ro-vibrational transitions for ν5, ν6, and ν9 bands respectively, and to the determination of accurate spectroscopic parameters by using the Watson’s A-reduction Hamiltonian in the Ir representation. The simulations of the ro-vibrational structure of the ν5, ν6, and ν9 bands performed in different spectral regions adequately reproduce the experimental data.
