Infrared study of the X2Π ν = 0, 1, 2 levels of 14N16O. Preliminary results on the ν = 0, 1 levels of 14N17O, 14N18O, and 15N16O

Abstract

The analysis of high resolution Fourier spectra (2.5 × 10−3 cm−1) led to accurate molecular constants for the vibrational levels ν = 0, 1, 2 of the X2Π state of 14N16O and of the levels ν = 0, 1 of the X2Π state of 14N17O, 14N18O, and 15N16O. A computer program has been written to directly reduce the data. It is shown that the expected variations for the different parameters with isotope substitution are well verified. Values of AJ(e) and γe are determined and discussed.
