Analysis of High-Resolution Infrared and CARS Spectra of ³⁴S¹⁸O₃
Three fundamental modes and several hot bands of 34S18O3 have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS). Coriolis coupling effects are particularly noticeable in 34S18O3 due to the close proximity of the v2 and v4 fundamental vibrations, whose wavenumber values are 477.508 64(5) and 502.055 65(4) cm-1. The uncertainties in the last digits are shown in parentheses and are two standard deviations. Hot band transitions from v2, v4 levels give access to infrared inactive v2, v4 combination/overtone levels which interact strongly with levels of the Raman-active v1 symmetric stretching mode due to indirect Coriolis couplings, l-resonances, and Fermi resonances. The result is a complex v1 CARS Q- branch spectrum that is the most perturbed of the four SO3 isotopomers we have studied. The relative importance of these interaction terms on the v1 CARS spectrum is examined in some detail and accurate rovibrational constants are determined for all of the mixed states, leading to deperturbed values of 1004.662(24), 0.000 350 3(9), and 0.000 706 6(12) cm-1 for v1, α1B, and α1C, respectively. The B e value is found to be 0.310 817(12) cm-1, which gives an equilibrium bond length re of 141.7339(3) pm, in excellent agreement with values of 141.7340(1) and 141.7347(7) pm reported earlier for 32S16O3 and 34S16O3.
