Microwave, infrared, and laser transitions of methanol atlas of assigned lines from 0 to 1258 ... cm-1

"This unique atlas presents the recorded spectrum of CH3OH, the main isotopic species of methanol, in the range 28-1258 cm-1. The spectral plot is accompanied by a list of all currently assigned rotation-torsion-vibration lines in the absorption spectrum of methanol. The list of nearly 35,000 transitions spans all of the known microwave transitions, as well as the region of coincidence with CO2 laser emissions."--Provided by publisher Content: Introduction. Theoretical Aspects. Assignment of the Absorption Spectrum. The Optically Pumped Methanol Laser. Table 1: Energy Levels of CH3OH. Table 2: The Assigned Lines of CH3OH. Table 3: Laser Lines of CH3OH. Table 4: Calculated RelativeIntensities. Spectrum: The Absorption Spectrum of CH3OH. This reference work contains a list of assigned transitions of methanol. The text also includes: a complete spectral plot of the experimental spectrum; theoretical intensity information for each band and empirically determined intensity measure for each line; and a list of 7000 energy levels. Since the pioneering work by Borden and Barker in 1939, and by Koehler and Dennison in 1940, there has been a constant experimental and theoretical interest in the spectroscopy of methyl alcohol, or methanol, CH3OH.
