Abstract:
The Fourier transform gas-phase infrared spectra of the Coriolis-perturbed nu(6) and nu(8) bands of deuterated formic acid DCOOH were measured with a resolution of ca. 0.003 cm(-1). Combined analysis of the 8977 IR transitions and all the available rotational data (from literature) in the ground state, as well as in the excited vibrational states v(6) = 1 and v(8) = 1 was carried out. The Coriolis coupling terms were determined and improved sets of rotational and centrifugal distortion parameters for the ground and excited vibrational states were obtained. The determined band centers are nu(0) (nu(8)) = 873.385046(12) cm(-1) and nu(0) (nu(6)) = 970.8889551(46) cm(-1). Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Van der Waals Equation
First, the attractive forces between molecules, which are stronger at higher densities and reduce the pressure, are considered by adding to the pressure a term equal to the square of the molar density multiplied by a positive coefficient a. Second, the volume...
Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
