The C-N stretching infrared fundamental of CH3NH2 has been investigated by high-resolution laser sideband and Fourier transform synchrotron spectroscopy to explore the energy level structure and to look for possible interactions with high-lying torsional levels of the ground state and other vibrational modes. The spectrum is complicated by two coupled large-amplitude motions in the molecule, the CH3 torsion and the NH2 inversion, which lead to rich spectral structure with a wide range of energy level splittings and relative line intensities. Numerous sub-bands have been assigned for K values ranging up to 12 for the stronger a inversion species for the vt = 0 torsional state, along with many of the weaker sub-bands of the s species. The C-N stretching sub-state origins have been determined by fitting the upper-state term values to J(J + 1) power-series expansions. For comparison with the ground-state behaviour, both ground and C-N stretch origins have been fitted to a phenomenological Fourier series model that produces an interesting pattern with the differing periodicities of the torsional and inversion energies. The amplitude of the torsional energy oscillation increases substantially for the C-N stretch, while the amplitude of the inversion energy oscillation is relatively unchanged. Independent inertial scale factors ρ were fitted for the torsion and the inversion and differ significantly in the upper state. The C-N stretching vibrational energy is determined to be 1044.817 cm-1, while the effective upper state B-value is 0.7318 cm-1. Several anharmonic resonances with vt = 4 ground-state levels have been observed and partially characterized. A variety of J-localized level-crossing resonances have also been seen, five of which display forbidden transitions arising from intensity borrowing that allow determination of the interaction coupling constants.
