International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 22-26, 2015 IR Spectrum of C2H5D Why analysis with ERHAM? * Analysis with SPFIT is quite successful (preceding presentation TG01 by Adam Daly) * Initial purpose: Analysis of 715 cm-1 band (ν11) However: ν11 level severely disturbed by 3ν18 level No useful results so far with modified ERHAM (allowing for interactions between different vibrational levels) * Therefore, try ERHAM with less perturbed ν17 at 805 cm-1 International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 22-26, 2015

International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 22-26, 2015 Discussion Satisfactory analysis of 805 cm-1 band with ERHAM Remaining problems Discrepancies of Eu, K-labeling of energy levels: need diligence ρ-vector parameters (ρ, β): fixed at GS/ν18, but could be different in ν11. LS fit with variable ρ, β: perfect correlation between ρ and ε0. Transition frequency accuracy below 0.0005 cm-1 seems possible = prerequisite to identify source of minor intensity perturbations observed in high-K R-branch transitions International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 22-26, 2015
