The first electronic spectrum of gas-phase vanadium monodeuteride (VD) has been recorded and analyzed, extending recent work on vanadium hydride (VH). Two vibrational bands of a parallel transition were observed and assigned as the C′5Δ–X5Δ (0,0) and (1,0) bands, with origins at 13,030 and 13,907 cm−1. High-resolution laser excitation spectra, supported by dispersed fluorescence measurements, permitted determination of rotational, spin–orbit, spin–rotation, and Λ-doubling constants for the X5Δ (v = 0–2) and C′5Δ (v = 0–1) states. The dispersed fluorescence spectra revealed the first two excited vibrational levels of the ground state, giving ωₑ = 1179.86(57) cm−1 and ωₑxₑ = 12.47(21) cm−1. Multiple local perturbations were identified in both upper-state vibrational levels and interpreted in terms of nearby Σ and orbitally degenerate states. Comparison with corresponding VH data confirmed isotopic scaling relations for rotational and fine-structure parameters, validating the assignments and effective-Hamiltonian analysis. These measurements complete the first systematic spectroscopic coverage of the 3d transition-metal hydrides, enabling direct isotopic comparisons across the series. They also provide new benchmark data for testing ab initio models and guiding future astronomical searches for VH and VD in cool stellar and substellar atmospheres.

Nitric oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) are common atmospheric pollutants. Monitoring these gases from fixed-source emissions is crucial for environmental assessments and air quality control. To address spectral overlap issues in the ultraviolet differential absorption spectra of NO and SO₂ mixed gas, this study proposes a two-stage deep learning algorithm based on bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) combined with attention mechanism. First, frequency domain filtering is applied to the differential optical density (DOD) signal of the mixed gas (200–230 nm wavelength range) to remove high-frequency noise. Then, the spectral separation model decomposes the filtered signal into single-component DOD for NO and SO₂. Finally, a dedicated single-component concentration detection model is used to detect the concentration from its respective DOD. The results demonstrate that the proposed two-stage algorithm resolves mutual interference between SO₂ and NO and effectively separated the DOD of two single-component gases. It achieves superior concentration detection precision compared to traditional segmented method and one-stage detection methods. For the concentration detection of mixed gas, the detection limits for SO2 and NO are 0.06 ppm and 0.16 ppm, respectively, with corresponding uncertainties of 0.31 % and 0.78 %. This study is expected to be widely applied in the field of multi-component gas detection, contributing to public health and environmental protection.

The rotational spectrum of the carbon monoxide-propylene oxide (CO-PO) complex was measured in the frequency region from 5 up to 24 GHz by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. For the normal species 55 a-type and 19 c-type transitions were observed, while b-type transition was not observed. Enriched 13CO and C18O samples were employed to record a-type and c-type transitions for the complexes with the respective isotopologues CO bound to PO. All the observed transition frequencies were analyzed for the normal species using a CH3 group internal rotation and overall rotation Hamiltonian. The potential barrier height V3 to internal rotation of the CH3 group was determined to be 855.07 (81) cm−1. The rotational constants derived for CO-PO complex led to the structure in which the CO moiety was located in one side of the PO ether plane opposite to that of the CH3 group, namely an anti-conformer. The intermolecular bonding of CO-PO was found to be stronger to that of Ar-PO and weaker than that of CO2-PO; by assuming a Lennard-Jones-type potential, the force constant of the van der Waals stretching mode and the dissociation energy were estimated to be 2.7 Nm−1 and 3.4 kJmol−1, respectively.

High-resolution rovibrational spectroscopy of the ν1 (1000 ← 0000) band of 14N15N16O has been performed using a quantum cascade laser–based cavity ring-down spectrometer (QCL-CRDS) operating in the 7.8 μm mid-infrared region. The first experimental air- and self-broadening coefficients for 32 transitions are presented, showing a distinct rotational dependence. Collisional dynamics were further examined through effective collision parameters, including collision cross sections, collision diameters, and collision relaxation times for the probed transitions. A systematic, J-dependent analysis on the binary collisional perturbation phenomena facilitated elucidation of the foreign molecular and self-interaction mechanisms. Line intensities were measured for 32 transitions. Notably, five high-J R-branch lines (R70, R71, R72, R78, R79) were measured for the first time, and a systematic rotational dependence was demonstrated. For these transitions, Einstein A coefficients, oscillator strengths, and transition dipole moments were derived, and Herman–Wallis coefficients describing rovibrational interaction were evaluated. Together, these quantified parameters deepen our comprehension of the rovibrational interaction mechanisms in this linear non-centrosymmetric molecule. The spectroscopic constants, such as band center, rotational constant, and centrifugal distortion constant corresponding to this vibrational band, were also calculated. These detailed molecular parameter quantifications and spectroscopic investigations are significant for isotopic studies of nitrous oxide and have important implications for atmospheric and astrophysical research.

The spectral radiation characteristics of metal oxides of diatomic molecules are particularly important for celestial detection, target identification and tracking, combustion control and diagnosis, thermal design of protective systems, etc. Ultraviolet spectrum is a way of energy transfer, and it is also a way of signal transmission, which is very important in many fields of basic research. This paper mainly studies the transition spectra of optical material MgO under ultraviolet transitions. Potential energy curves and transition dipole moments were investigated, which was combined to obtain spectral parameters such as transition probability, energy level lifetime, wavelength and intensity of transition systems. The high temperature spectral were provided and compared of different transition. These studies provide more theoretical basis and experimental reference for the study of UV transition spectral characteristics of metal molecules.

Theoretical studies at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level combined with experimental spectroscopy, were employed to investigate the intermolecular interactions between bromopentafluorobenzene (C6F5Br) and triethylenediamine (DABCO). The C6F5Br molecule possessing both σ-hole and π-hole regions acts as an electron acceptor and forms intermolecular interactions with the nitrogen atoms of DABCO. Computational results and analyses revealed the formation of two distinct dimers and four trimers stabilized via σ-hole⋯n halogen bonds and/or π-hole⋯n bonds with interaction energies ranging from −5.50 to −18.50 kcal/mol, indicating the formation of moderately strong non-covalent bonds. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) quantified the driving forces, showing that electrostatic interactions contribute to 34–49 % the total attraction, while dispersion forces and orbital terms account for 27–58 % and 8–25 %, respectively. The existence and nature of these interactions were confirmed by Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interaction (NCI) analyses. Experimental IR and Raman spectroscopy measurements provided crucial validation. The formation of molecular complexes was confirmed by observed shifts. These experimental shifts are in agreement with the calculated spectra of the complexes. This work provides fundamental insights into competing σ-hole and π-hole interactions and would offer a valuable framework for the rational design of related supramolecular systems.

We report the observation and analysis of a new electronic transition in gas-phase vanadium hydride (VH), identified as the C′5Δ–X5Δ (1,0) band with an origin at 14,015 cm−1 (714 nm). The spectrum was recorded by laser excitation spectroscopy, with laser-induced fluorescence detected to the X5Δ (v = 1) level. Dispersed fluorescence measurements enabled a detailed characterization of the vibrationally excited ground state, yielding a vibrational interval of ΔG1/2 = 1606.6(2) cm−1. Despite the presence of significant local perturbations—particularly in the Ω = 0 and 1 spin components of the C′5Δ state—a full rotational analysis of the spectrum using a Hund's case (a) Hamiltonian was achieved. Spectroscopic constants including rotational, spin–orbit, spin–rotation, and Λ-doubling parameters are reported for both the new C′5Δ state and the X5Δ (v = 1) level. Additionally, we observed a small local perturbation in the X5Δ₁ (v = 1) level near J = 9, attributed to homogeneous spin–orbit and heterogeneous L-uncoupling interactions with the previously analyzed A5Π (v = 0) state. An X5Δ ∼ A5Π coupled Hamiltonian was used to model this perturbation and yielded interaction parameters roughly consistent with semi-empirical estimates. This work represents only the second analyzed spectroscopic transition of gas-phase VH.

The microwave spectrum of η4-butadiene osmium tricarbonyl was measured in the 6–12 GHz frequency range using a Flygare-Balle type pulsed beam Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectrometer. The rotational constants for the 192Os isotopologues were determined to have the following values: A = 939.4(2), B = 849.08(1) and C = 816.71(1) MHz. The centrifugal distortion constant is DJ = 0.60(7) kHz. 16 a-dipole transitions were measured and included in the fit. Extensive high-level G16 calculations were made using DFT methods with various basis sets, including core-potentials (ECP). The best structure was calculated with Gaussian 16 using B3LYP/def2-QZVPP, which includes a core potential (ECP). The best calculated values are in very good agreement with the experimental values.

The near-infrared experimental investigation of greenhouse gases and their spectroscopic parameters finds a wide range of applications in the field of atmospheric science, astrophysics, and climate change research. Carbon dioxide (CO2), an important greenhouse gas, has been the subject of various spectroscopic studies due to its pivotal role in climate change, as well as in the atmospheric and astrophysical sciences. In this study, we present the spectroscopic investigation of ro-vibrational lines of P- and R-branches of the weak 31112–01101 band (f-symmetry) of CO2 lying in 1.57 μm spectral region. The study was carried out by high-sensitive off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) coupled with a continuous wave-external cavity diode laser (CW-ECDL) source. The study focuses on the experimental measurement of vital spectroscopic parameters, such as air-broadening coefficients (γair), line intensities and self-broadening coefficients (γself) of various interference free lines (8 ≤ J ≤ 28) in the P- and R-branches of the hot band. The OA-ICOS absorption lines were modeled using the Voigt profile function to retrieve the parameters, which accurately reproduced the line shapes within the spectral noise level. The obtained γair were compared with empirical values present in HITRAN2020 and theoretical values in CDSD, showing mean discrepancies of about 3.20% and 1.25%, respectively. The retrieved line intensities and γself were also compared with previously reported values, revealing mean discrepancies of about 1.99% and 1.34%, respectively. Additionally, rotational dependency, the Einstein-A21 coefficient, effective collision diameter and cross-sections for CO2-CO2 and CO2-air binary systems have also been explored and presented. The molecular spectroscopic parameters retrieved in this study will find various applications in the field of atmospheric science, astrophysical science, and climate change research.

The ground state rotational spectrum of 1,1-dichloro-1-silacyclopent-2-ene has been recorded using chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. A planar ring-structure in the ground vibrational state is supported by the rotational spectrum, but particularly by the analysis of the sometimes-complicated hyperfine splitting and isotopic substitution. Furthermore, fitting the rotational spectrum to a Watson S-reduced Hamiltonian in the Ir representation yields a negative value of DJ, which is in agreement with quantum chemical calculation. In addition, the quadrupole coupling is considered and some structural information is presented — both compare well to expectations from other related systems and quantum chemical calculation.
