ROVIBRATIONAL PARAMETERS FOR TRANS-NITROUS ACID

The Fourier transform absorption spectrum of HONO was recorded at high resolution between 600 and 12 000 cm-1 using various experimental conditions. The results concerning the trans isomer are presented; i.e., the full rovibrational analysis of the ν1, ν2, ν3, ν4, and 2ν1 bands and the vibrational analysis and band contour simulation of the 2ν2, ν1 + ν4, ν1 + ν3, ν1 + 2ν3, and 3ν1 bands have been given. The results are combined with those of previous literature investigations to obtain a complete set of rovibrational parameters, including equilibrium rotational parameters, Ae = 3.122 cm-1, Be = 0.4230 cm-1, and Ce = 0.3724 cm-1. © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
