title: The Interacting v6 = 2 Levels of D3Si35Cl: A Tool to Determine Ground State Constants from High-Resolution Spectra in the 440-590 and 900-1100 cm-1 Regions.
abstract: High-resolution FTIR spectra of monoisotopic D3Si35Cl have been recorded in the regions 440-590 cm-1 (nu3/nu6) and 900-1100 cm-1 (2nu6/nu3 + nu6/2nu3). A detailed rovibrational study was done for the 2nu06, 2nu-/+26, and 2nu3 overtone bands and for the 2nu+/-26-nu+/-16, 2nu06-nu-/+16, and (nu3 + nu+/-16)-nu+/-16 hot bands. For the first time the interactions occurring between the v6 = 2, v3 = v6 = 1, and v3 = 2 levels of any trideuterated silyl halide have been analyzed. The (nu3 + nu+/-16)-nu+/-16 hot band served to obtain accurate energies of the v3 = v6 = 1 level, the nu3 + nu6 combination band not being detectable on our spectra. The first experimental determination of A0 and D0K for this molecule was undertaken by a well-established method, using the nu6, 2nu+/-26-nu+/-16, and 2nu-/+26 bands. Ground state energy differences DeltaK(J) = E0(J, K) - E0(J, K - 3) were calculated for K values from 2 to 16. By a least-squares fit of 163 such differences, the A0 and D0K values thus obtained were (in cm-1): A0 = 1.4278230(8) and D0K = 5.3916(31) x 10(-6). Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
