Abstract

In two recent publications [V. Špirko, P. Jensen, P. R. Bunker, and A. Čejchan, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 112, 183–202 (1985); P. Jensen, V. Špirko, and P. R. Bunker, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 115, 269–293 (1986)], we have described the development of Morse oscillator adapted rotation-vibration Hamiltonians for equilateral triangular X3 and Y2X molecules, and we have used these Hamiltonians to calculate the rotation-vibration energies for H3+ and its X3+ and Y2X+ isotopes from ab initio potential energy functions. The present paper presents a method for calculating rotation-vibration line strengths of H3+ and its isotopes using an ab initio dipole moment function [G. D. Carney and R. N. Porter, J. Chem. Phys. 60, 4251–4264 (1974)] together with the energies and wave-functions obtained by diagonalization of the Morse oscillator adapted Hamiltonians. We use this method for calculating the vibrational transition moments involving the lowest vibrational states of H3+, D3+, H2D+, and D2H+. Further, we calculate the line strengths of the low-J transitions in the rotational spectra of H3+ in the vibrational ground state and in the ν1 and ν2 states. We hope that the calculations presented will facilitate the search for further rotation-vibration transitions of H3+ and its isotopes.
