Popis: The rovibrational spectrum of the ν 12 band of isotopologue ethylene (13C2D4) was recorded using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with an unapodized resolution of 0.0019 cm−1 in the 1000–1140 cm−1 region. From the analysis of this A-type band, the v 12 = 1 state rovibrational constants up to four quartic terms (ΔJ, ΔK, δJ, δK) were improved from previous work and a sextic term was derived for the first time. A total of 2403 infrared transitions were fitted using the Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the Ir representation with a root-mean-square (rms) deviation of 0.00026 cm−1. The band centre of the ν 12 band of 13C2D4 was found to be 1069.969827(13) cm−1. The ground state rotational constants (B, and C) and the centrifugal distortion constants (ΔJ, δJ, δK) were improved with higher accuracy while a sextic term was obtained for the first time through the fitting of 1209 ground state combination differences (GSCDs) derived from the IR transitions of the ν 12 band, together with 504 previously reported GSCDs of the ν 9 band of 13C2D4. The root-mean-square (rms) deviation value of this fit was 0.00027 cm−1. The uncertainty of the measured infrared lines was estimated to be ±0.0003 cm−1. Additionally, equilibrium state rovibrational constants up to five quartic terms, and rotational constants of the ground and v 12 = 1 state were derived from theoretical anharmonic calculations at two different levels of theory, B3LYP and MP2 with the cc-pVQZ basis set, for comparison with the experimental results. These calculated ground state rotational constants of 13C2D4 agreed well within 0.60% of those determined from the GSCD fit in this work. Rotational constants (A, B, and C) of the v 12 = 1 state of 13C2D4 were also calculated using B3LYP/cc-pVQZ and MP2/cc-pVQZ levels with an agreement of 0.56% or less to those derived experimentally.
