The vibrational spectrum of the OCS molecule based on the data on spectra of liquid and cryosolutions

The IR absorption spectra of liquid OCS (T = 135(1) K) and of the following solutions—OCS + Ar (T = 90 K), OCS + N2 (T = 90 K), OCS + Kr (T = 130 K), and OCS + Xe (T = 163 K)—are measured in the range 800–7000 cm−1. From 16 to 40 bands corresponding to transitions to vibrational states up to the third order inclusive are interpreted for basic isotope modification and for the isotopically substituted molecules 18O12C32S, 16O13C32S, and 16O12C34S. In the spectra of the liquids, the spectral moments M(1) and M(2) of all the observed bands are determined. The harmonic frequencies ωi and the anharmonicity constants xik are calculated for all the systems, including the liquid. The anharmonicity is found to be constant within the experimental error. A large shift Δω3 is primarily determined by the dipole-induced dipole interaction.
