Infrared diode laser and microwave spectra and molecular structure of an unstable molecule, FBO

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.453175

The FBO molecule was generated by a dc discharge in a mixture of BF3, O2, and He and its vibration-rotation and rotation spectra were observed by using infrared diode laser spectroscopy and microwave spectroscopy, respectively.The ν₁ B-O stretching mode of F¹¹BO and F¹⁰BO and the ν₁ +ν₂ - ν₂ hot band of F¹¹BO were observed in the region 2050 to 2140 cm^-1.Subsequently, the pure rotational spectrum was observed for the following isotopic species: F¹¹BO, F¹⁰BO, F¹¹B¹⁸O, and F¹⁰B¹⁸O.The rotational, centrifugal distortion, and 1-type doubling constants were determined from the observed spectra, and the partial r_s structure of FBO was calculated from rs coordinates and the first moment equation to be r(F-B) = 1.2833(7) Angstroem and r(B-O) = 12072(7) Angstroem.
