Analysis of thirteen absorption bands of 16O18O18O ozone isotopomer in the 950–3500 cm−1 infrared spectral range

Abstract

Thirteen bands of the CS symmetry 16O18O18O ozone isotopic species were observed in spectra generated from 16O2/18O2 mixtures recorded between 950 and 3500 cm−1. Experimentally and theoretically this work is similar to the one on the 16O16O18O isotopologue analysis, recently published [Barbe A, et al. J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 2018;218;231–247]. In total 11402 rovibrational transitions (corresponding to 8784 upper state energy levels) were assigned. The line positions are modelled with the root mean squares deviations varying from 0.001 to 0.002 cm−1. The final comparisons show a good agreement between experimental and theoretical band centres and rotational constants predicted from ab initio potential energy surface. Effective dipole transition moment parameters were either fitted or estimated from a comparison between observed and simulated spectra. The line lists built using effective Hamiltonian and transition moment parameters containing 61194 transitions are provided in Supplementary Materials.
