Abstract:
A total of 4892 transition wavenumbers of the nu(2), nu(3), nu(5), and nu(6) fundamental bands of H(3)(12)CF and 1469 frequencies of the rotational transitions in the v(2) = 1, v(3) = 1, v(5) = 1, and v(6) = 1 vibrational states have been fitted simultaneously by taking explicitly into account various Coriolis interactions, l-type interactions, and alpha-resonance terms between and within the vibrational states. The standard deviation of the fit using 71 parameters was 8.10 x 10(-5) cm(-1) for the infrared data and 0.198 MHz for the rotational data. This study clearly shows that in order to obtain a really quantitative fit of the highly precise data of vibration-rotational and rotational spectroscopy, it is necessary to fit all the data simultaneously using a variational approach. The deperturbed values of the upper state rotational constants differ significantly from those obtained previously in fitting the nu(3) and nu(6) bands as isolated bands and the nu(2)/nu(5) bands by a variational approach. This is important for the precise determination of the equilibrium structure of methyl fluoride (J. Demaison, J. Breidung, W. Thiel, and D. Papousek, Struct. Chem., in press). Besides this, the results can be used in further studies of the reduced Hamiltonians for more complicated systems of interacting vibrational levels. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
