Abstract
The ground state rotational spectra and internal dynamics in five isotopomers N214–IH, N214–ID, N215–IH, N14N15–IH, and N15N14–IH of the nitrogen–hydrogen iodine dimer have been investigated by pulsed-nozzle, Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. Analysis of the recorded spectra yields rotational, centrifugal distortion, nuclear quadrupole and spin-rotation coupling constants for the five isotopomers. The spectroscopic constants are interpreted in terms of a ground-state NN–IH structure using the parameters rcm, kσ, and the oscillation angles θN2 and θHI of the N2 and IH moieties. For N214–IH, the values rcm=4.197 872(67) Å, kσ=1.461 52(32) N/m, θN2=25.61(22)°, and θHI=23.454 6(91)° are obtained. The rotational transitions of N214–IH, N214–ID, and N215–IH show a doubling, which is a consequence of tunneling associated with the interchange of the two nitrogen nuclei. The experimental findings are compared with results from ab initio calculations.
