New high-resolution Fourier transform absorption spectra of an (15)N(16)O(2) isotopic sample of nitrogen dioxide were recorded at the University of Bremen in the 6.3-µm region. Starting from the results of a previous study [Y. Hamada, J. Mol. Struct. 242, 367-377 (1991)], a new and more extended analysis of the nu(3) band located at 1582.1039 cm(-1) has been performed. The spin-rotation energy levels were satisfactorily reproduced using a theoretical model which takes into account both the Coriolis interactions between the spin-rotation energy levels of the (001) vibrational state with those of the (020) and (100) states and the spin-rotation resonances within each of the NO(2) vibrational states. Precise vibrational energies and rotational, spin-rotation, and coupling constants were obtained in this way for the first triad of (15)N(16)O(2) interacting states {(020), (100), (001)}. Finally, a comprehensive list of line positions and line intensities of the {nu(1), 2nu(2), nu(3)} interacting bands of (15)N(16)O(2) was generated, using for the line intensities the transition moment operators which were obtained previously for the main isotopic species.

Line shift coefficients for five lines of five different isotopomers in the fundamental band of CO in the spectral region near 2058 cm-1 were measured using a three channel lead salt diode laser spectrometer. The study includes the lines P(3) of 13C17O, R(3) of 13C18O, P(9) of 12C18O, P(10) of 13C16O, and P(21) of 12C16O, and covers collisions with N2, O2, H2, D2, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. Line shifts of the isotopomers 13C16O, 12C18O, 13C18O, and 13C17O were determined for the first time. Within the experimental uncertainty no significant dependence of the shift effect on the isotopomer was found. The R-branch line under study shows a smaller line shift coefficient than a P-branch line with a similar rotational quantum number. With increasing mass of the noble gas perturber the absolute size of the shift coefficient increases. Moreover self- and nitrogen-broadening coefficients for the isotopomer lines were determined. Compared to previous measurements no significant deviations between different isotopomers were observed. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.

N2 broadening coefficients have been measured for 65 lines of the 13C16O 2-0 band using a Fourier transform spectrometer. These lines are located in the spectral range 4011-4252 cm-1. The spectra were recorded with 99% isotopically pure 13CO in a White-type cell at a resolution of 0.005 cm-1. Voigt profiles convolved with the FTS apparatus function were fitted to the experimental lineshapes using a nonlinear least-squares fit technique. From the fits the Lorentzian HWHM was determined as function of N2 pressure. Pressure broadening coefficients for m between -33 and +34 were obtained with uncertainties of 5.8%. The results are compared to earlier published N2 broadening coefficients and our measurements in the 2-0 band of 12C16O. To our knowledge this is the first investigation of 13CO pressure broadening.
