Observation of simultaneous ν1(SF6) + ν3(NF3) and ν2(SF6) + ν3(NF3) transitions enhanced by the resonance dipole-dipole interaction with the ν1 + ν3 and ν2 + ν3 states of the SF6 molecule

IR spectra of the solution of SF6 molecules in liquid NF3 at 84 K have been recorded. In a solvent transmission window of 1500–1750 cm−1, two wide absorption bands with pronounced peaks in the high-frequency part are observed. The profile of these bands is explained by the influence of the resonance dipole-dipole (RDD) interaction of the states of the simultaneous transition ν1(SF6) + ν3(NF3) and ν2(SF6) + ν3(NF3) with the states (ν1 + ν3) and (ν2 + ν3) of the SF6 molecules, respectively. The use of three isotopic modifications 32SF6, 33SF6, and 34SF6 has allowed us to vary the resonance detuning and thus to change the strength of the RDD interaction. With the liquid near the melting point being represented as a close-packed cubic crystal, the profile was calculated and its spectral characteristics were determined. The frequencies of the main peaks coincide with the experimental values accurate to the error.
