Abstract

A Fourier transform spectrum of phosgene (Cl2CO) has been recorded in the 17.3 μm spectral region at a temperature of 180 K and at a resolution of 0.00102 cm-1 using a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer coupled to synchrotron radiation leading to the observation of the ν2 and ν4 vibrational bands of the two isotopologues 35Cl2CO and 35Cl37ClCO. The corresponding upper state ro-vibrational levels were fit using a Hamiltonian model accounting for the a-type Coriolis interaction linking the rotational levels of the 21 and 41 vibrational states. In this way it was possible to reproduce the upper state ro-vibrational levels to within the experimental uncertainty i.e. ~0.30×10-3 cm-1. Very accurate rotational, centrifugal distortion and interaction constants were derived from the fit together with the following band centers: ν0(ν2, 35Cl2CO) = 572.526299(30) cm-1, ν0(ν4, 35Cl2CO) = 582.089026(30) cm-1, ν0(ν2,35Cl37ClCO) = 568.951791 (35) cm-1 and ν0(ν4, 35Cl37ClCO) = 581.758279 (35) cm-1.
