Résumé | The ν18 fundamental band (~158 cm⁻¹) of acrolein is studied at high resolution (0.0015 cm⁻¹) using synchrotron radiation from the Canadian Light Source facility and a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform spectrometer. By fitting this band, together with some pure rotational transitions, molecular parameters are obtained to accurately determine the energies of the ν18 = 1 state levels for values of (J,Ka) up to at least (45,24). These parameters should be useful for future high resolution studies of acrolein hot bands. This is demonstrated here by a detailed analysis of the (ν17 + ν18) - ν18 hot band at ~589 cm⁻¹. The upper state (ν17 + ν18) of this band is found to be perturbed by Coriolis interactions analogous to those affecting the ν17 state. |
