Line list for NF3 molecule in the 1750-1950 cm−1 region

Abstract We report the line list for the 2 v 3 ( A 1 , E ) and v 1 + v 3 ( E ) strong bands of the NF 3 molecule which is considered as long living greenhouse gas in the atmosphere with a significant radiative force potential. To construct the line list, the variational calculations based on the ab initio surfaces of the potential energy and dipole moment were combined with high-resolution data on line positions. The effective polyad model was developed for NF 3 by the sixth-order contact transformation of the full rovibrational Hamiltonian. The theoretical parameters of the effective Hamiltonian were then refined by fitting to experimental transitions presented in literature. The parameters of the effective dipole moment were obtained from fitting to our ab initio line intensities. The results of the simulations are consistent with our Fourier Transform spectra within their uncertainty of 10%.
