Abstract
We present the first high-resolution infrared absorption study of the nu(3) fundamental of white phosphorus, P-4. This spectrum has been analyzed usin g the STDS (Spherical Top Data System) software. The band center lies at 46 6.286 cm(-1) With the approximation (B zeta)(3) = -B-0/2, we found that the ground-state bond length is r(0) = 219.58 pm. This value is consistent wit h that of ab initio studies reported previously but significantly different from a value obtained from a Raman study. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. A ll rights reserved.
