The rotationally resolved spectrum of the HCCl A˜1A′′(0,0,0)←X˜1A′(0,0,0) transition between 12 230 and 12 410 cm-1 was obtained for the first time at Doppler-limited resolution using a frequency-modulation (FM) transient absorption technique. Five major subbands (Ka=0←1, 1←0, 1←2, 2←1, and 2←3) of HC35Cl and one subband (Ka=0←1) of HC37Cl were observed and assigned. In addition, the forbidden subband (Ka=0←0) of HC35Cl was also observed. Thus far, we have assigned most (more than 70%) of the strong lines. The analysis of these subbands determines the geometry for the HCCl A˜(0,0,0) level: (angle)HCCl=134.7° and RC-Cl=1.623 Å while RC-H is fixed at the corresponding value of CH2. The height of the barrier to linearity was found to be approximately 2170 cm-1 above the vibrationless level of the A˜ state. The rotational structure of this spectrum shows irregular perturbations. Both random and J-dependent (anomalous K-type doubling) effects were observed. As in methylene, the perturbations most likely arise from Renner-Teller effect between the two singlet states in combination with spin–orbit coupling between the singlet and triplet states. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
