Additional measurements have been made on the 1-O and 20 bands of HCl”. The spectra were observed using an absorption tube heated to 900” C. Rotational states involving J” values as high as 31 were observed. In addition, lines of the 3-1,4-2, and 5-3 bands have been observed and precisely measured. The newly observed data have been combined with our previously reported measurements on HClas and analyzed. Reliable values have been obtained for the higher order rotational constants, H and L. The Dunham potential constants a, , a2 , aa , and a4 for HClas have been calculated. INTRODUCTION
Since the publication of our previous papers on the HC135 molecule (1, S) we have been able to extend the former measurements to much higher J values by using a heated absorption tube. Twenty-four additional high J lines (J = 15 to J = 30) of the 1-O band have been measured. Eighteen additional lines (J = 18 to J = 26) of the 2-O band have been measured. We were also able to measure twenty-three lines of the 3-l band, twelve lines of t’he 4-2 band, and 3 lines of the 5-3 band. The new data all obtained with t.he echelle spectrograph are very precise. In this paper we will re-examine the analysis of the HC135 moIecular spectrum taking proper cognizance of our extensive new measurements to supplement the previous work. EXPERIMENTAL
DETAILS
Two absorption t,ubes of 1% and 3-meter length were constructed, and could be heated to 900” C and 300” C, respectively. The new measurements were made in the 1.8-p to 5-p region of the spectrum employing our 5-meter echelle spectrograph. The gas pressures used were usually in the region of 1 mm or less to 2 cm of Hg. In a few cases higher gas pressures were used and the small pressure shifts were corrected by an independent determination. t This research was supported by the National Science Foundation. 122

The above expression involves 5 degrees of freedom in the least squares fitting process. It’ is well known that the molecular constants are interrelated. The least squares method does not take cognizance of these interrelationships since accurate explicit relationships are not known. It is advisable, however, to reduce the number of degrees of freedom of the above expression if possible to obtain the most realistic molecular constants. We have decided to adopt the following fitting procedure. The measurements TABLE

reported in 1962 by Rank, Eastman, Rao, and Wiggins (2) which involve lines to J = 16 are somewhat more precise than the newer measurements. We believe that the B” value reported previously (2) is the best that can be obtained from all the data. This BN value was considered to be good to one part in a million and subsequent microwave measurements of Jones and Gordy (3) yield a velocity of light determination in accord with our estimate of the previously quoted error in B”. Thus we have decided to adopt the previous B” determination and thus reduce the number of degrees of freedom in Eq. (1) to four. From preliminary fitting it was noted that the ratios of B”/DN, D”/H”, and H”/L” are approximately equal. To a crude first approximation the theory predicts such a relationship. As the result of the preliminary fitting we have adopted a value of 4.0 X lo-” cm-’ as an approximat’ion for M” and thus have reduced the number of TABLE

degrees of freedom in Eq. (1) to three. All the AzF” data were now treated to least squares and the values obtained for the ground-state constants are given in Table VIII. The results of fitting all the measured A,F” values for the 1-O and 2-O bands are given in Table I. UPPER-STATECONSTANTS u =

In order to determine the upper-state constants once the ground-state constants are known the following combination relationship is applicable, namely, Vf( J) = R(J - 1) + P(J), V+(J)

(2)
+ 2([H’ - H”) + 6(L’ - L”)]J6 + 2(L’ - L”)J*. It was found that the term in J” was of no significance. Thus we have LO = L1 = Lz and likewise M. = M1 = M2 . The data were treated to least squares using Eq. (2) and the results obtained for the upper-state constants v = 1 and v = 2 are given in Table VIII. Making use of the upper- and lower-state constants the 1-O and 2-O band lines were computed. The observed line positions and the calculated line positions for the 14 band are given in Table II. Similarly the observed and calculated line positions for the 2-4 band are given in Table III. UPPER-STATECONSTANTS v = 3, v = 4, AND v = 5
The new measurements obtained on the 3-l band lines are considerably more precise than our previous measurements (2) on the 3-O band. Thus it is possible TABLE

assumed that AL and AM are both equal to zero. fi!Iaking use of the abovementioned assumptions and our previous determinations of the molecular constants for the states v = 0 and v = 1 we have employed least squares methods to obtain the constants for the v = 3 state given in Table VIII. The observed and calculated line positions for the 3-O band and 3-l band are given in Tables IV and V, respectively. hlaking use of procedures similar to those used in determining the molecular const8ants for the v = 3 state we have determined the constant’s for the v = 4 and v = 5 states from the new measurements on the 4-2 and 5-3 bands. The constants obtained for the v = 4 and v = 5 states are given in Table VIII. The observed and calculat,ed line positions for the 4-2 and 5-3 bands are given in Tables VI and VII, respectively. In Table IX we have given the observed band origins of all the HC13’ bands that have been measured. In the column of Table IX designated as calculated we have given the calculated band origins. The bands marked (a) were used to determine w, , w,x, , w,y,, and 0,x,. The agreement between observed and calculated values of the band origins is excellent particularly when one takes into account that t,he 4-O and 5-O bands were obtained photographically and only three lines of t,he 5-3 band were observable. SUMMARY OF RESULTS We have taken the data from Tables VIII and IX and derived the equilibrium values of the various molecular constants. These equilibrium values are given in Table X. niaking use of the equilibrium values of the molecular constants we have made use of Dunham’s (4) theory and calculated the values of the potential constants al, a2 , a3 , and a4 , which are given in Table X.
