Infrared spectrum and potential constants of silicon tetrafluoride
Doppler-limited tunable diode laser spectra of ..nu../sub 4/ of /sup 28/SiF/sub 4/ have been analyzed and the spectroscopic constants determined. In contrast to most earlier low-resolution studies, the Coriolis constant zeta/sub 4/, when combined with zeta/sub 3/ as obtained from previous laser spectroscopy, yields a zeta sum that is within 5% of the expected harmonic value of 1/2. The band origins of 12 overtones and combinations have been obtained from Fourier-transform spectra (0.04 cm/sup -1/ resolution), resulting in estimates of the anharmonicity constants and harmonic frequencies. From the Coriolis constants and the isotope shifts in ..nu../sub 3/ we have redetermined the general quadratic force field of SiF/sub 4/.
