Line intensities and self-broadening coefficients for the ν2 band of methyl chloride

Abstract

The present report concerns measurements of lines intensities and self-broadening coefficients for 170 transitions of the ν2 band of both 12CH335Cl and 12CH337Cl isotopologues between 1291 and 1403cm−1. This work is the continuation of a previous effort on the ν5 band (Barbouchi Ramchani et al., 2013). For these studies, spectra of CH3Cl have been recorded at room temperature using a rapid scan Bruker IFS120 HR interferometer. The line parameters have been retrieved using a Voigt profile and a multispectrum fitting procedure. The average accuracy of the line parameters obtained in this work has been estimated to be between 2% and 5% for line intensities and between 5% and 10% for self-broadening coefficients depending on the transitions. A global comparison with the experimental values existing in the literature has been performed. The measurements of line intensities have also been compared to calculated values from HITRAN and GEISA databases.
