Millimeter-Wave Spectroscopy of Sulfur Dichloride.
The rotational spectra of (32)S(35)Cl(2), (32)S(35)Cl(37)Cl, (32)S(37)Cl(2), and (34)S(35)Cl(2) in their ground vibrational states, as well as those of (32)S(35)Cl(2) and (32)S(35)Cl(37)Cl in their nu(2) and 2nu(2) excited states, have been studied in selected frequency regions between 100 and 370 GHz. Transitions involving a large range of quantum numbers have been observed, so that precise rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion constants could be determined for each of the spectra investigated. The complete set of sextic distortion constants was also obtained for the most abundant isotopomer in its ground vibrational state. The newly determined rotational constants of (34)S(35)Cl(2) and (32)S(37)Cl(2) allowed us to calculate the complete r(s) structure of sulfur dichloride using both single- and double-isotopic substitution methods. The quadratic force field has been refined using a larger set of quartic distortion constants and inertial defects. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
