High-resolution FTIR study of the ν2 fundamental of cis-CHF[double bond, length half m-dash]CHF

Abstract

The high-resolution FTIR spectrum at room temperature of cis-1,2-difluoroethylene has been analyzed in the ν2 fundamental region from 1670 to 1760 cm−1. This vibration of A1 symmetry, corresponding to the C[double bond, length half m-dash]C stretching, gives rise to a strong b-type band approximately centered at 1719 cm−1. The rovibrational analysis led to the assignment of many transitions in the P, Q and R branches with J′⩽70, Ka⩽30, Kc⩽69. From a simultaneous fit of the ground state combination differences coming from the present work and the previously analyzed ν4 and ν10 fundamentals, together with a few literature microwave data, a set of ground state parameters, including all the quartic and four new sextic centrifugal distortion coefficients, was derived. Using the Watson's A-reduction Hamiltonian in the Ir representation, from the final fit of about 3600 assigned transitions, accurate rovibrational constants for the upper state were obtained with a standard deviation of about 8 × 10−4 cm−1.
