Using high-resolution infrared spectra, a reanalysis of the [nu][sub 2], 2[nu][sub 2] [minus] [nu][sub 2], [nu][sub 1], and [nu][sub 3] bands of [sup 32]S[sup 16]O[sub 2] has been performed. These infrared data, combined with the available heterodyne and microwave data, were fitted within their respective experimental accuracies. For the (010) levels it was sufficient to use a Watson-type Hamiltonian, whereas it proved necessary to consider explicitly interaction terms for the [(020)(100)(001)] states. More precisely a [Delta]K = 2 quadratic distortion-correction to the Fermi interaction term was used to treat the interactions between (020) and (100) and a [Delta]K = 3 Coriolis-type term to treat the interactions between (100) and (001).
