Boron trifluoride: The analysis of 2v3 and the determination of ζ33

Abstract
The 2v3 bands of 10BF3 and 11BF3 have been studied at high resolution. The experimental values of the Coriolis coefficient ζ33 are 0.7808 ± 0.0036 for 10BF3 and 0.7438 ± 0.0047 for 11BF3. The BF bond length is found to be 1.3102 ± 0.0012 Å. The Coriolis coefficients have been used to fix the E′ species symmetry force constants.
