The absolute intensities of transitions in the 2v(3) vibrational band of (C
OO)-C-12-O-16-O-17 at 4655.2 cm(-1) have been measured in natural isotopic
abundance; the spectra being obtained with a resolution of 0.012 cm(-1) usi
ng a Bomem DA8 FTS at NASA/Ames and the McMath FTS at Kitt Peak National Ob
servatory, AZ. About 45 transitions were fitted to obtain the rotationless
band strength of S-vib(0) = 8.489 x 10(-25) cm(-1)/(molecule/cm(2)) at 296
K. Although the current HITRAN line positions for this band do not have any
defined uncertainties, our measurements average only about 0.0025 cm(-1) s
