High-resolution study of the υ9 fundamental band of trans-glyoxal

Abstract

The spectrum of trans-glyoxal has been recorded at a resolution of about 0.004 cm–1 in the region from 2770 to 2900 cm–1. 1549 lines have been assigned to the type B band due to the υ9 (bu) fundamental (antisymmetric C–H stretching vibration). The ground-state rotational constants confirm earlier values and new constants are determined for the excited state of υ9. PACS No.: 33.20E
