The OD infrared spectrum, emitted in a flame of deuterium and oxygen, has been recorded for the first time in the 2-pm spectral range with a Fourier Transform spectrometer. A simultaneous fit of the ir 2-0, 3- 1, 4-2, 5-3, 3-0, 4-l vibration-rotation bands, of the uv data (O-O, l-l, 2-2, O-l bands of the A%+ + XV transition) and of the microwave data, gives accurate molecular constants for the ground-state vibrational levels up to v = 5. The classical “unique perturber approach” and the effective Hamiltonian of Brown for W states, have been successively used for the reduction ofthe spectroscopic data. I. INTRODUCTION
The hydroxyl radical has been intensively studied because it is involved in a wide variety of chemical and physical systems. It has been detected in interstellar gas clouds by radio-astronomy (I ) and it is commonly observed in astrophysical sources, some of which are masers (2). The short-lived transient OH plays an important role in the chemistry of the interstellar clouds (3). Numerous investigations were performed in different spectral regions. The hydroxyl radical was the first short-lived molecule to be investigated in the microwave region. Dousmanis ef al. (4) detected the transitions between A-doublet components of both spin components (Q2, J = 2.5 to 5.5 and 2113,2,J = 5.5 to 8.5) in the spectra of the OD, 160H, and ‘*OH molecules located in the 7.5-40-GHz region. The gas-phase E.P.R. spectra of OD and OH were observed by Radford (5,6). Magnetic moments generated by spin-uncoupling were strong enough to allow the observation of transitions involving the 2111,2component. Accurate E.P.R. measurements of the OD radical up to v = 5 were performed by Rashid er al. (7). The isotopic species with I70 (170H and 170D) were studied by Carrington and Lucas (8) and the analysis of these spectra yields values for the l’0 magnetic hyperfine and electric quadrupole parameters. These magnetic measurements were recently extended in the 26- to 35-GHz region by Brown et al. (9). 1 Author to whom reprint requests should be sent. 0022-2852/81/0501%-23$02.00/O Copyright All rights

The hydroxyl radical was also the first radical to have been detected in the radiofrequency range in a molecular beam experiment. Extensive and very accurate measurements were performed by Dymanus and Meerts (10-13). Seventeen pure rotational laser transitions were reported in the 12- to 20-pm spectral range by Ducas et al. (14). A great number of papers have dealt with the derivation of a Hamiltonian capable of interpreting the accurate OH and OD microwave data and uv data. The contributions of Mizushima (25), Destombes et al. (Z6), Veseth (17), Brown et al. (9), Coxon (Z8), and Coxon et al. (19) are the most important ones. An extensive review of the microwave studies has been reported by Beaudet and Poynter (20). The hydroxyl radical is also involved in numerous combustion and flame processes which were studied in the uv spectral range through the AT + X*II band system (21). For the OD radical several analyses have been reported (22-28). However, the most reliable data and analysis for this transition have been derived by Coxon and his co-workers (18,27,28). In these last papers the 0- 1, O-O, I- 1, and 2-2 bands were carefully investigated by direct approach methods and “unique perturber approximation” outlined by Zare et al. (29,30). Other works concerned with the OD radical are gathered in Huber and Herzberg’s book (31). In the infrared part of the spectrum, the vibration-rotation spectrum between vibrational levels of the OH X*Il ground state was investigated by Maillard et al. (32 ) using Fourier Transform techniques. However, the OD radical had never been observed in this spectral region. A systematic investigation between 1 and 3 pm was then performed. In the present work we have observed the 2-0, 3-1, 4-2, and 5-3 bands and also some rotational lines of the 6-4, 3-0, and 4-l bands. In order to obtain a more reliable set of molecular constants we have performed a simultaneous analysis of our data and also of the uv and microwave spectroscopic data. The next section of this paper deals with the experimental aspects of the work, in particular the OD production. The effective Hamiltonians used in the direct approach method are then discussed. Finally the results are presented and the molecular constants are compared with those previously determined. II. EXPERIMENTAL
DETAILS
A high-temperature OD source with long-term stability is necessary for recording spectra with a Fourier technique. In the case of OH an oxyacetylene flame was employed by Maillard et al. (32). But, as deutered acetylene is not commonly available in large quantities we chose to use a deuterium-oxygen flame. Stoichiometric mixture ratios were adjusted for a total gas flow of 20 liters/h. As in previous experiments on OH the flame was imaged on a 4-mm diameter diaphragm to isolate a region of the outer cone giving the most intense OD emission with a rotational temperature of about 2500 K; that is much lower than in the oxyacetylene case. The high-resolution Fourier spectrometer (33,34) at the Meudon observatory was used to record the spectra. The apparatus has been put quite recently under vacuum, avoiding the parasitic absorption by H,O and CO, bands. The total spectral range from 3500 to 9000 cm-’ has been covered with

two records. A portion of the spectrum in the P branches of the 2-O to 6-4 bands is displayed in Fig. 1. The blending by D20 lines is very strong, particularly in the R branches, which are much less “clear” than the P branches. It is, however, worth noting that the signal-to-noise ratio is reduced compared with the similar OH spectrum due to the type of source used (32, Fig. 1). The observed linewidths are about 0.1 cm-‘. In the Av = 3 sequence the signal-to-noise ratio is poor due to the faintness of the bands and only some lines of the 3-O and 4- 1 bands are usable. The calibration of the spectra was performed by using residual H,O absorption lines (35) ensuring an absolute wavenumber accuracy better than 5 x 10e3 cm-‘. III. THEORY
The Hamiltonian for the interpretation of high-resolution spectra of diatomic molecules can be written, in the absence of external magnetic or electric fields, as
H,, includes the terms which are independent of rotation and in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation gives the vibronic term energy T, for the allowed vibrational states of the different electronic states. The term Hrot is the Hamiltonian describing the rotation of the nuclei. It has the form H,t

(J - L - S)Z,
where B(r) is the radial part of the rotational energy operator, p is the reduced mass, and r is the internuclear distance. The third term H, is related to the interactions between the orbital and spin motions of the electrons. This fine-structure Hamiltonian is composed of three parts H, = H,, + H,, + H,,. For all doublet states considered in this work the spin-spin interaction rigorously zero. The spin-orbit Hamiltonian H,, has the form:
H,, is

where A(r) is the spin-orbit H,, is given by

where -y(r) is the spin-rotation constant. A basis set of Hund’s case (a) wavefunctions, eigenfunctions ofJ2,JZ, S2, S,, L, (eigenvalues J(J + l), Sz, S(S + l), 2, A) is used and noted 1211nvJ iI>, where R = 1A + IS ) . For a211 state the secular determinant to be solved is a 4 x 4 block and a 2 x 2 block for a 2Z state. When wavefunctions of well-defined parity, relative to reflection in the plane containing the internuclear axis, are introduced the dimensions of these blocks are divided by two. When interactions with other Born-Oppenheimer states (2IZ*and 21J)through the operators B(r)J,L, or [A(r)/2 + B(r)]L,S, are considered there is a removal of the degeneracy for the two 2 x 2 blocks.

in S linking 211states through the operator H,, are neglected (36). We have adopted the notation e andf for the parity of each block (37). Rather than diagonalizing a large matrix with all the *F, *II, and *A states the Van Vleck transformation (38) is used in the “unique perturber approach” to keep one *II or one *C state only and to apply small corrections, due to the other electronic states, to the matrix elements of the Born-Oppenheimer state. The matrix elements are obtained by the methods outlined by Hougen (39), Zare et al. (SO), and Lefebvre-Brion (40). The matrix elements of the *II Hamiltonian are collected in Table I for this “unique perturber approximation.” The definitions of the elements are nearly analogous to those of Coxon (28), in particular higher-order terms for the A-doubling constants

p andq are obtained simply by an expansion inJ (J + 1). We have also constrained
the parameter o, to the value Ap/8B (U = 0). In analyzing the E.P.R. spectrum of OH X*II u = 0 Brown et al. (9) have recently developed a new effective Hamiltonian formalism using a formal tensor approach. The calculations are done within a single ‘II vibrational level, more precisely within the spin and rotational levels. The influence of the other electronic states is taken into account by operator techniques (41, 42). The corresponding matrix elements for this effective Hamiltonian are given in Table II. Although these matrix elements should be used since higher matrix elements are established in correct operator form we have also performed the calculations in the classical

“unique perturber approach” in order to compare our results with those of previous works. For the Y states the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are given in Table III. The parameters T, B, D, y are effective parameters since the electronic perturbation parameters cannot be separated from the true mechanical constants. IV. DATA TREATMENT
In the previous reduction of the OH data a band-by-band treatment was adopted (32). In this work as in another analysis (43) a weighted, nonlinear, least-squares fitting routine is used to reduce the spectroscopic data. These input data are the wavenumbers that we have recorded in the infrared, the uv data of Clyne et al. (27), and the microwave transitions (4, 7, 10, II, 20). We have ignored the hyperfine structure of these transitions by considering only the gravity centers of the lines. The wavenumbers for these lines are then Z(2F + l)~ilX(2F + l), where oi is the hyperfine transition and the sum runs for AF = 0 transitions only. This is certainly an approximate value for the zero-field transition. The spectroscopic data were compared with the calculated differences of upper- and lower-state eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian matrix given in Tables I and III or Tables II and III. The initial values of the parameters used to evaluate the Hamiltonian matrix were taken from Coxon’s work. After diagonalization one obtains term values from which a first set of calculated transitions is derived. A comparison with the observed frequencies leads to corrections to the initial parameters. The whole set of data is then treated iteratively until convergence is achieved. The advantages of such computing procedures have been widely discussed (44, 45).

V. RESULTS
Least-squares fits of the data have been performed with the two *II Hamiltonian matrix elements quoted in Tables I and II. For each *II Hamiltonian two successive fits were made. A preliminary unweighted least-squares fit first provides adequate estimates for the weighting factors. These are taken equal to l/r?: if tij is the mean of the residuals for each vibration-rotation band or microwave transition. This first fit determines also the significant parameters. If a parameter is nonsignificant relative to one standard error its value is constrained, in the second weighted least-squares fit, to the last significant value in order of increasing vibrational quantum number. In this last fit the variance is calculated as: 1 &-‘,
=
Wi(U6 - Ui)’
i=1.n
n-m
where (~5, &. are the measured and calculated wavenumbers, n the number of wavenumbers, m the number of variable parameters, and wi the applied weights. If the values of wi are good estimates of the standard deviations of the distribution of measurement errors and if uh - c; are correct estimations of measurement errors, &-“,$ should fluctuate near unity. The constraint y=O was used, since it is well known that the parameters AD and y are nearly totally correlated. The derived molecular constants using the two approaches are collected in Tables IV and V. The 2, value is nearly equal to (1.040)’ in the two cases. It is worth noting that the value of AH (u = 0) from Table IV, increases from 0.121 x 1O-6 cm-’ when the first fit (unweighted and unconstrained) is performed to 0.221 10e6 cm-’ in the second fit. It may also be seen that the value of A, from Table IV does not show a smooth ZIvariation. In fact, centrifugal distortion terms and higher-order variation of A-doubling parameters show a smoother u dependence when Brown’s formalism is used. The observed wavenumbers for the 2-0, 3-1, 4-2, 5-3, 3-0, 4-l bands, together with the differences o-c between observed and calculated wavenumbers using Hamiltonian of Table II, are presented in Table VI. The few observed wavenumbers for the 6-4 band are also quoted in Table VI. The results for the uv bands are quite similar to those of Coxon et al. (27,28) and will not be reproduced here. The agreement between observed and calculated microwave transitions is given in Table VII. The residuals, of the order of a few MHz, are greater than the experimental uncertainty, especially for the M.B.E.R. results (10, II). This is due to our adopted approximate treatment for these transitions. The constants for the A*Z+ state do not depend significantly on the *II Hamiltonian used. Effective parameters are reported in Table VIII when Brown’s Hamiltonian is employed for the X*II state. In order to reduce the number of parameters for these X*II and A*X+ states a classical “Dunham-type” expansion of each parameter in powers of (v + l/2) has been performed. For the most accurately calculated parameters we give in Table IX the coefficients of ad hoc expansions

where x represents any of the molecular constants and n is the degree of the polynomial. Correlations between parameters were ignored but a weighting according to uncertainties of Table V was applied. The term values for all the vibrational levels with 21s 5 for the ground state are collected in Table X. These data should be useful for predictions of microwave transitions to be measured in astrophysical observations. The absolute uncertainty of transition calculated in this manner is better than 150 MHz. A change in the ordering of the A-doubling levels e,fbetween theJ = 9.5 andJ = 10.5 rotational levels of theF,(211,,,) component may be noted. For the lower J values (~9.5) the e component has a smaller energy than thef. The reverse is true for J > 9.5. This phenomenon has been observed for all the vibrational levels studied. In the OH radical Brown et al. (9) observe such a change

The constants determined in this work were also used to construct an R.K.R. potential energy curve for the ground state (4649). We used previously determined turning points and relative vibrational energies of the OH molecule (50) as additional constrained points of the potential energy function assuming that it is invariant by isotopic substitution. The results are presented in Table XI. The differences in the R,,, and R,,, values for the two spin-orbit components 2111,2and 2II3,2being small, a “mean” curve is given, obtained by using the T, B parameters of Table V as input data to the D.H.L. program. 2 By resolving the Schrodinger equation with the R.K.R. potential so determined the vibrational transitions are 2 The D.H.L. program (29, 30. 47) is a slightly modified version, for use on UNIVAC machines, of the original version available from Albritton (48) and usable directly on CDC machines.

recalculated to better than 0.18 cm-’ and the B, values to better than 23 x low5 cm-‘. With this method it is possible also to calculate D, and H, values. They are compared to our fitted parameters in Table XII. The agreement between the values is good although the R.K.R. calculated parameters are always slightly larger than the derived parameters of Tables IV and V. VI. DISCUSSION
A comparison of the results obtained with the two 211 Hamiltonians will be presented first. Then our values for the molecular constants are compared with the previously reported ones. The expected relations between the parameters of a 211 state expressed in the “unique perturber approximation” and in Brown’s formalism have been given by this author (42, Table III) and more specifically in the case where the constraint Yno = 0 is applied. For example the following relation exists between the vibrational terms:

It appears that a systematic difference occurs between the B values calculated by formula (2) and those reported in Table V. This difference, nearly equal to 20;, as shown by the last line of the above Table, arises because in the U.P.A. approximation matrix elements of R2 are used while Brown uses W, i.e., formula (2) given in Ref. (42) is not quite correct. For the other rotational constants D, H, and L the agreement is good between the two sets. For the spin-orbit constant the following relation must hold:
xi,,,= (A;
- 0;)
P:
2(A; - 0:: - 2B; - 4;) 1 ’
The comparison between calculated values by this formula and constants Table V is given below (all values are in cm-l):

The variation of this constant with the vibrational quantum number u is smooth in Brown’s approximation. In comparing the parameters of Tables IV and V it is worth noting that the “unique perturber approximation” constants p: and 9: are identical to those of Brown et al. (42). The higher-order constants p. and qD have also the same order of magnitude in the two approaches. More reliable determinations of these and higher-order A-doubling parameters will be obtained only by M.B.E.R. or microwave works like those of Meerts et al. (12), Coxon (19) or Brown et al. (9) performed on the OH radical. The molecular constants obtained in the “unique perturber approximation” and quoted in Table IV, can be compared with the results of the uv study of Coxon (18). They concern the only previously reported molecular constants of the ground state for the vibrational levels u = 0, 1,2. The results are summarized in Table XIII. The agreement is good within three standard deviations except for L” and 4:. Obviously, these constants have been defined with opposite signs in the two analyses. In our work the parameter pH was found to be nonsignificant and constrained to a zero value while Coxon constrained it to the value 1.33 x lo+’ cm-’ for all vibrational levels. A more marked difference appears in the vibrational term values quoted below (in cm-l) (relative to the v = 0 vibrational term value).

The first line refers to Coxon’s results (18) and the second one to our work. The differences come from the necessary use in Coxon’s work of older data on the 2-0, 2- 1, 3- 1, 3-2, and 3-3 bands which are clearly subject to large systematic errors. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS C. Amiot is indebted to Dr. J. M. Brown for helpful correspondence and for making his YI Hamiltonian matrix elements available to him. The authors are grateful to the Referee for many valuable comments on the manuscript.
