High resolution spectroscopic analysis of the v2 = 1 and v4a = 1 states of 14ND2H

Abstract

Transitions of ND₂H have been detected in the high-resolution spectra of ¹⁴ND₃ recorded in the region 60 − 1515 cm⁻¹, using the Bruker IFS 125 Fourier transform spectrometer located at the synchrotron far-infrared beamline, Canadian Light Source. In this study we report on the observation and analysis of transitions to and between the s, a inversion levels of the v₂ = 1 and v_4a = 1 states for ND₂H. We assigned to v₂ = 1 (v_4a = 1) 996 (296) rotation-inversion transitions, with J up to 19 (13), and 3578 (1966) vibration-rotation-inversion transitions from the ground state, with $J^{\prime }$ up to 22 (13). The newly assigned transitions, together with those present in the literature, were fitted on the basis of a Watson-type S reduced Hamiltonian using the III^l representation. The model includes terms up to the 10th power of the angular momentum and vibration-rotation interaction terms between the inversion levels. Precise and extended sets of spectroscopic parameters and term values were derived for the s, a v₂ = 1 and v_4a = 1 states as results of least squares weighted fit procedures that reproduce the transition wavenumbers at experimental accuracy.
