LINESTRENGTH MEASUREMENTS FOR THE 30(0)0[-02(0)0, 10(0)1[-01(1)0, AND13(1)0[-00(0)0 TRANSITIONS OF (N2O)-N-14-O-16 (2600-3100 CM-1)

Linestrengths have been measured for three weak bands of (N2O)-N-14-O- 16 using a Fourier transform spectrometer, with an effective response function width of about 5 X 10(-3) cm-1. The observed bands are the co ld band nu1 + 3nu2, and the hot bands 10(0)1 <-- 01(1)0 and 30(0)0 <-- 02(0)0. Measurements have been performed with a relative accuracy bet ter than 2%. Analysis of the results yields the squared vibrational tr ansition dipole moments and the parameters describing the vibration-ro tation interaction effects. It may be emphasized that, for the 10(0)1 <-- 01(1)0 transition, the corresponding quadratic Herman-Wallis param eters are found to be in good agreement with our previous predictions carried out according to Watson's theory.
