TL;DR: In this paper, velocity modulation spectroscopy with a tunable diode laser was used to measure the bending and stretching hot bands of thiocyanate (NCS−) with an effective rotation-vibration Hamiltonian.

TL;DR: In this article, the free evaporation isotope fractionation factors (αevap) are primarily influenced by the nature of the intermolecular interactions between water molecules, namely, the condensed phase hindered translational and librational frequencies at the surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Born-Oppenheimer equilibrium geometry was employed to calculate the ground state molecular constants, including the three g factors, for the spin-rotation interaction in the X 3 Σ− vibronic ground states of OH+ and OD+ using laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the infrared spectrum of the fluoronium ion (H2F+) has been observed in the gas phase using velocity modulation laser absorption spectroscopy of a H2/HF plasma.

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative vibration-rotation tunneling energy level diagram is presented, which is consistent with the following assumptions: G36 is the appropriate molecular symmetry group; the equilibrium structure contains a plane of symmetry; interchange tunneling of inequivalent monomers occurs via a trans path; the 2C3+I limit of hydrogen exchange tunneling is appropriate; tunneling and rotational motions are separable.
