摘要
Infrared spectra of N2O trimers are studied using a tunable diode laser to probe a pulsed supersonic slit-jet expansion. A previous observation by Miller and Pedersen [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 436 (1998)] in the N2O nu(1)+nu(3) combination band region (similar to 3480 cm(-1)) showed the trimer structure to be noncyclic, with three inequivalent N2O monomer units which could be thought of as an N2O dimer (slipped antiparallel configuration) plus a third monomer unit lying above the dimer plane. The present observations cover the N2O fundamental band regions nu(3) (similar to 1280 cm(-1)) and nu(1) (similar to 2230 cm(-1)). In the nu(3) region, two trimer bands are assigned with vibrational shifts and other characteristics similar to those in the nu(1)+nu(3) region, but in the nu(1) region all three possible trimer bands are observed. Relationships among the various bands are considered with reference to their rotational intensity patterns, their vibrational shifts, and the properties of the related N2O dimer, with results that generally support the conclusions of Miller and Pedersen. Three trimer bands are also observed for the fully N-15-substituted species in the nu(1) region, and these results should aid in the detection of the as-yet-unobserved pure rotational microwave spectrum of the trimer.
