Abstract:
The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of the nu(6) band of formic acid (HCOOH) has been recorded with a resolution of 0.0024 cm(-1) in the spectral range 1050-1160 cm(-1). The nu(6) band was found to be strongly perturbed by the nearby nu(8) band centered at about 1033.5 cm(-1). Using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r) representation, and with the inclusion of a-type Coriolis coupling constant, a simultaneous fit of nu(6) and nu(8) was performed. A total of 2485 infrared transitions including about 700 perturbed transitions of nu(6) and 19 transitions of nu(8) was fitted with an rms uncertainty of 0.0006 cm(-1). Accurate rovibrational constants up to sextic order for both nu(6) and nu(8) were obtained. The nu(6) band was analyzed to be a type AB hybrid with a band center at 1104.852109 +/- 0.000050 cm(-1). The band center for nu(8) was found to be 1033.4647 +/- 0.0021 cm(-1). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
