Although there are two F/sub 1u/ components in 3..nu../sub 3/ of UF/sub 6/ and transitions are allowed from the vibrational ground state to both, only a single band has been observed in the ir spectrum. These two states may be identified in a Cartesian representation of the normal coordinates as 3..nu../sub 3x/ and 2..nu../sub 3x/+..nu../sub 3y/; on the basis of calculated intensities, the observed transition has been assigned to 3..nu../sub 3x/. The calculation of the dipole strengths required us to derive the octahedral splitting parameters G/sub 33/ and T/sub 33/ and these have been used to calculate the anharmonic splittings in the ..nu../sub 3/ vibrational manifolds of /sup 238/UF/sub 6/ and /sup 235/UF/sub 6/.
