The infrared spectrum of aminodifluoroborane, NH2BF2: Partial assignment of the fundamentals and analysis of the band near 1608 cm−1

Abstract

The infrared spectrum of gas phase aminodifluoroborane, NH2BF2, has been observed for the first time. A partial assignment to the fundamental vibrations has been made. The [Formula: see text] band has been recorded at high resolution, and the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of NH211F2 have been obtained in both the ground and 21 levels. A small rotational perturbation in the 21 level has been attributed to a perpendicular Coriolis interaction. Using a newly written least-squares fitting program, spectroscopic constants of the unseen level have been evaluated, including its band origin and the Coriolis coupling coefficient. Possible identities of the unseen level are suggested.
