Molecular Constants of Carbonyl Sulfide and a Coriolis Perturbation

Abstract
The band origins and the changes in B and D for five bands of carbonyl sulfide have been measured. The highly precise values obtained are the result of precise infrared measurements used in conjunction with microwave results. The changes in B for the 002 and 003 bands agree with the reported value of α3 from microwave measurements. The other bands, members of resonating polyads, have anomalous values of ΔB. The ΔD values also reflect this resonance. A Coriolis rotational perturbation in the 003 band has been observed and analyzed.
