In addition to having pure rotational spectra diatomic molecules have rotational spectra associated with their vibrational spectra. Determining the rotational constant B enables you to calculate the bond length R. The allowed transitions for the diatomic molecule are regularly spaced at interval 2B.

The spectrum of CO has been observed using a heated absorption tube. Molecular spectroscopists define the rotational constant B which has which as units of energy. A fit of µ a, R-branch transitions of the nearly prolate asymmetric rotor H 2 CO⋯HCl (κ ≈–0.99) demonstrated that even a relatively large A 0 rotational constant can be determined with useful accuracy from such a limited set of data, provided the frequencies are of sufficient accuracy. This expression for the rotational energy corresponds to the Rigid Rotor approximation. → From rotational spectra we can obtain some … 0000018250 00000 n Jones and Gordy (13) have reported measurements for CO up to the 5 --+ 6 rotational transition.

These units are related by the c, the speed of light. The rotational band structure for the antisymmetric vibration centred at ≈ 2349 c m − 1 (also called parallel v 3 band) has alternate lines missing, which are those having odd J. 0000013902 00000 n The rotational constants are: B 0 = 1.922 521, D 0 = -6.1193 × 10 -6, H 0 = 5.8 × 10 -12, α e = -0.017507, β e = 1.0 × 10 -9, γ e = 1.0 × 10 -6.

In general the rotational constant B 1 of a vibrationally excited state is slightly smaller than the rotational constant of the ground vibrational state B 0, because the vibration causes a … 0000005070 00000 n We will follow three steps in doing this calculation.
