High resolution vibration-rotation spectra of (C2H2)-C-13 were recorde
d in a number of regions from 2000 to 5200 cm(-1) at Doppler or pressu
re limited resolution. In these spectral ranges cold and hot bands inv
olving the bending-stretching combination levels have been analyzed up
to high J values. Anharmonic quartic resonances for the combination l
evels nu(1) + m nu(4) + n nu(5), nu(2) + m nu(4) + (n + 2)nu(5) and nu
(3) + (m - 1)nu(4) + (n + 1)nu(5) have been studied, and the l-type re
sonances within each polyad have been explicitly taken into account in
the analysis of the data. The least-squares refinement provides deper
turbed values for band origins and rotational constants, obtained by f
itting rotation lines only up to J approximate to 20 with root mean sq
uare errors of approximate to 0.0003 cm(-1). The band origins allowed
us to determine a number of the anharmonicity constants x(ij)(0).
