The 2nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3 Band of 16O3: Line Positions and Intensities
Abstract:
The 2nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3 band of ozone, which occurs in the 5700-cm-1 region, has been observed for the first time using a Fourier Transform Spectrometer, operating at 0.008 cm-1 resolution and with a large pathlength x pressure product (3216 cm x 28.3 Torr). The assignment of rotation-vibration transitions has been done for J up to 38 and Ka up to 11, respectively, after many difficulties due to a Coriolis coupling between (213) and (420) states. In this work we show how this one, which occurs between closed band centers (4 cm-1) but corresponds to summation operatoriDelta vi = 6, strongly perturbs energy levels and leads to a difficulty in assignments. In particular we show the deviations for various types of J and Ka as large as 1 cm-1, with respect to the calculations performed without account of this resonance. The final calculation for the 212 rovibrational states is very satisfactory, as the r.m.s. is 2.5 x 10(-3) cm-1, near the experimental accuracy, with meaningful spectroscopic Hamiltonian parameters. Rovibrational lines intensities of the 2nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3 band were measured, and the value of the transition moment has been recovered. Finally a complete list of line positions and intensities was calculated (with a cut-off of 3 x 10(-26) cm-1/molecule cm-1) leading to a total band intensity of Sv = 3.118 10(-23) cm-1/molecule cm-2 at 296 K.

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...
