Measurements of the line positions of H,‘“O in the 8050 to 9370 cm-’ region have been performed at a spectral resolution of 0.07 cm-‘. A grating spectrum of room-temperature water vapor and a Fourier transform spectrum of heated water vapor (T = WC) were used in the interpretation. A careful analysis of the bands V, + 3~~. 3~~ + vQ, 2~~ + Ye, v, + v2 + I+, and vz + 2~~ has led to a set of rotational levels belonging to the vibrational states (130), (031), (210), (ill), and (012). Many vibrorotational resonances were detected.
INTRODUCTION
The vibration-rotation spectrum of the water molecule begins to be understood in great detail in the 6.3~pm (Z-3), 2.7~pm (4-6), 1.9~pm (1,6,7), and 1.4~pm (8,9) regions. Toward the photographic infrared and the visible, the situation is not so favorable because the bands are weak and also because of the possibility that multiple resonances will make both the assignment and the calculation of spectra much more difficult. However, it is important to improve our knowledge of these spectral regions from both practical considerations (atmospheric studies) and theoretical reasons (determination of the potential function). A systematic effort to analyze the H,O spectra in these regions was performed earlier by Benedict (20). In the present paper, we report an experimental investigation of the spectrum of water vapor from 8050 to 9370 cm-‘; we have been able to assign about 1200 vibration-rotation lines belonging to the v1 + 3v,, 3~~ + vQ, 2v, + v2, v1 + v2 + v3, and V, + 2v, bands. From the observed line positions, an extensive set of experimental rotational levels has been obtained for the vibrational states (130), (031), (210), (ill), and (012).

DETAILS
For this study, we analyzed two different spectra. For the strongest lines, we used the line positions given by a room-temperature spectrum recorded from 8550 to 9024 cm-l. The positions of the weaker lines were deduced from a Fourier transform spectrum of heated water vapor extending from 8050 to 9370 cm-l. The cha~~te~stics of the two spectra are given below: Room-Tempera0.ue
Spectrum
A 10-m focal length Czerny-Turner vacuum spectrometer at the Ohio State University was used to record the spectrum. This spectrometer employed a 40 x 20-cm2 (16 x 8-in.2) echelle with 79 grooves per millimeter on its surface and blazed at an angle of about 63”. The source of continuous infrared radiation was a carbon rod furnace working at an input power of 3.4 kW (10 V at 340 A). A desc~pt~on of this spectrometer was given previously (t I). The infrared radiation was detected with two detectors -1nSb for the CO calibrating lines and a liquid-nitrogen-cooled photomultiplier for the water vapor spectrum. The signal was amplified by a Princeton Applied Research Model HR-8 phase-sensitive amplifier and then recorded on a strip chart recorder. The resolution was about 0.07 cm-’ and the precision of the positions of the lines is approximately eO.005 cm-l. Figure 1 shows a reproduction of this spectrum. The water vapor partial pressure used was 7 mm Hg, and the length of the abso~tion path was 100 m. Fourier

Under these conditions, the experimental linewidth at half height was approximately 0.11 cm-l, and the precision of the positions of the tines was t0.005 cm-‘. Figure 2 shows a reproduction of the observed spectrum. For unblended and unsaturated lines common to both spectra we have noticed that the line positions agree to within the stated experimental uncertainties, that is rtO.005 cm-‘.

DATA ANALYSIS
AND RESULTS
The identification of the lines of H,160 was facilitated by the previous work of Benedict (10) and with the help of the available rotational energy levels for the (000) and (111) vibrational states of H2160 (12,13). In the 1.1~pm region, the A-type band v, + v2 f v3 is much stronger (see the strong Q branch at 8807 cm-‘) than the bands y1 + 3v,, 3v, + vg, 2v, + v2, and v2 + 2~. Consequently, the number of levels determined for the (111) state is larger than the number determined for the (130), (031), (210), and (012) states. Also, since the I+ + vz + vQband center (8807.000 cm-l) is close to the 2u, + v2 band center (8761.579 cm-l), the lines of this weak band are often blended with lines of the strong band, which complicated the interpretation.

Particular attention was paid to lines originating from resonant levels which, as already mentioned, are quite numerous.’ In general, perturbed lines were located by considering strong lines which cannot be attributed to normal lines of the strongest band, vl + v2 + z+. Among these perturbations are two interesting examples: -The perturbation between the levels (210)[221] and (111)[2 1l] leads to doublets of lines of nearly equal intensity, instead of the usual single lines belonging to the strongest A-type band v1 + v2 + vS (10). -An extreme example of resonance is the quadruple resonance between the levels (060)[616], (130)[652], (210)[634], and (111)[624]. In this case, the labeling of the levels will be definitive only when a theoretical calculation provides the mixing coefficients. It may be emphasized that the 6~~ band appears only through lines originating in the perturbed level (060)[616]; this behavior is similar to that of the 1These resonances can be classified for the hexad of the vibrational states {(OSO),(130).

4~~ band, in the 1.4-pm region, which appears only through lines originating in the perturbed level (040)[945], (14). Because of the large value of the P x L product for the heated spectrum, we have been able to detect lines belonging to the “hot” band v1 + 2~~ + v3 - r+ (relative intensity compared to v1 + v2 + v3 = 0.2%) and lines belonging to the y1 + v2 + v3 band of H2180 (relative isotopic abundance -0.2%). The assignment of this band of H2180 has been facilitated by knowledge of the ground state of H2180 (1.5,16). The complete list of the transitions with their assignments and the percent absorption at the center of the lines is given in Table I. From these lines and from the ground-state energy levels, we deduced the vibration-rotation energy levels of the upper states, which are given in Table II. Since the rotational levels of the (111) vibrational state were obtained previously from the study of a flame spectrum (13), we combined the data originating from the latter work and the present study to obtain what we consider to be the most reliable set of rotational energy levels for this state. In the present work, we did not observe lines involving high rotational quantum numbers, and, therefore, we limited the levels listed in Table II to J s 13. Reference (13) gives the information for./ > 13 of the (111) state. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to thank Professor W. S. Benedict for valuable comments about this paper.
