The radial Schrodinger wave equation was solved numerically using an anharm
onic potential function with If parameters to generate wavefunctions and vi
bration-rotation energy levels of the hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl)-Cl-3
5. Measured line strengths available in the literature cover transitions up
to v = 7. Using the measured values of the line strengths along with the c
omputed wavefunctions, a set of 135 dipole moment matrix elements M-0(v')(m
) were calculated. Finally, the dipole moment coefficients, M-0,M-1,...,M-7
, were evaluated from the matrix elements. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. A
