The high-resolution infrared spectra of the low-lying [nu][sub 4] and [nu][sub 5] fundamentals of the transient molecule formyl chloride, HCOCl, are reported. Both type A/B hybrid bands have been analyzed in detail, providing rotational assignments for the HCO[sup 35]Cl and HCO[sup 37]Cl isotopomers. The excited state rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been determined by fitting assignments over a wide range of J and K[sub a] values. No perturbations were detected in either band.
