A new high-resolution infrared Fourier spectrometer and its use in the study of the molecular parameters of hydrogen peroxide

A new high resolution Fourier transform interferometer has been constructed for the study of infrared molecular spectra. The instrument is capable of producing high quality spectra with an unapodized resolution of.004 cm;The new FTS instrument has been used to measure the torsion-rotation absorption spectrum of the O-H stretch vibration in gaseous hydrogen peroxide. Over 3000 line assignments have been made, including many arising from torsional "hot band" transitions. Many new assignments have been made for the weak n = 0...
