High resolution analysis of the rotational levels of the (0 0 0), (0 1 0), (1 0 0), (0 0 1), (0 2 0), (1 1 0) and (0 1 1) vibrational states of 34S16O2
A high resolution (0.0018 cm-1) Fourier transform instrument has been used to record the spectrum of an enriched 34S (95.3 %) sample of sulfur dioxide. A thorough analysis of the ν2, 2ν2 - ν2 , ν1, ν1 + ν2 - ν2, ν3, ν2 + ν3 - ν2, ν1 + ν2 and ν2 + ν3 bands has been carried out leading to a large set of assigned lines. From these lines ground state combination differences were obtained and fitted together with the existing microwave, millimeter, and terahertz rotational lines. An improved set of ground state rotational constants were obtained. Next, the upper state rotational levels were fitted. For the (010), (110), (011) states, a simple Watson type Hamilton sufficed. However, it was necessary to include explicitly interacting terms in the Hamiltonian matrix in order to fit the rotational levels of the (020), (100) and (101) states to within their experimental accuracy. More explicitly, it was necessary to use a ΔK=2 term to model the Fermi interaction between the (020) and (100) levels and a ΔK=3 term to model the Coriolis interaction between the (100) and (001) levels. Precise Hamiltonian constants were derived for the (000), (010), (100), (001), (020), (110) and (011) vibrational states.
