Line intensities for the ν1, ν3 and ν1+ν3 bands of 34SO2

Using both high resolution (0.0018 cm(-1)) and medium resolution (0.112 cm(-1)) Fourier transform spectra of an enriched S-34 (95.3%) sample of sulfur dioxide, it has been possible to accurately measure a large number of individual line intensities for some of the strongest of the SO2 bands, i.e. nu(1), nu(3) and nu(1)+nu(3). These intensities were least-squares fitted using a theoretical model which takes into account the vibration-rotation interactions linking the upper energy levels where needed, and, in this way, expansions of the various transition moment operators were determined. The Hamiltonian parameters determined in previous analyses together with these moments were then used to generate synthetic spectra for the bands studied and their corresponding hot bands providing one with an extensive picture of the absorption spectrum of (SO2)-S-34 in the spectral domains, 8.7, 7.4, and 4 mu m.
