M. Litz et al., Mid- and near-infrared spectra, millimeterwave spectra, and global analysis of (OCSe)-O-16-C-12-Se-80, J MOL SPECT, 196(2), 1999, pp. 155-174
We have recorded a total of 12 FTIR spectra of monoisotopic (OCSe)-Se-80 in
different spectral regions with a resolution (1/maximum optical path diffe
rence) between 2.7 and 13.2 x 10(-3) cm(-1). These spectra spanned the rang
e from 350 to 7800 cm(-1), many bands being studied with different p x L pr
oducts in order to also detect weak hot bands. Altogether 18 band systems c
omprising 81 different bands, mostly of Sigma type, were observed and analy
zed by means of polynomial expansions in J(J + 1). New rotational transitio
ns of vibrationally excited states as high as 2200 cm(-1) with J " 17-25 in
the 140-210 GHz and J " 53-58 in the 430-470 GHz millimeterwave regions we
re measured with the assistance of predictions by the global fit. This fit
was performed using a weighted least-squares procedure and employing the wh
ole body of data, and about 100 molecular parameters were determined that d

y. Improved highly accurate ground state parameters up to sextic centrifuga
l distortion terms were obtained by a merge of ground state combination dif
ferences and pure rotational data. The v(1), v(2), v(3) polyad interacts an
harmonically with the v(1) - 1, v(2) + p, v(3) + q polyads with p + 2q = 4.
Moreover, some local crossings with Coriolis interactions between (v(1), v
(2), v(3)) and (v(1) - 1, v(2) + 3, v(3) + 1) levels were observed and trea
ted perturbationally. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
