Spectroscopic constants for the ν9 infrared band of HNO3

Abstract High-resolution infrared measurements have been made on the ν 9 band of HNO 3 from 414 to 500 cm −1 . Over 2300 transitions have been measured, assigned, and fit to obtain 15 rovibrational constants for the v 9 = 1 state that reproduce the observed spectrum with a RMS deviation of 0.0004 cm −1 . The band center for ν 9 is at 458.2287 ± 0.0005 cm −1 .
