Objective The main goal is an updating of atmospheric data bases with improved spectroscopic information for the following 6 molecules:CIO (chlorine monoxide)HOCl (hypochlorous acid)H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)COF2 (carbonyl fluoride)CINO2 (nitryl chloride)The methodology of this collaboration is to use a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches that will achieve results with an accuracy distinctly superior to existing data.Experimental methodsEach molecule of interest will be investigated by at least two experimental groups (with the exception of the nitryl chloride molecule which will be investigated by only one group). Different experimental techniques (especially concerning spectral regions and spectral bandwidths) will be applied which guarantee an appropriate validation of the results:- Fourier transform spectroscopy (in all regions)- diode laser spectroscopy (in the IR)- tunable far infrared spectroscopy (in the FIR)Theoretical methodsThe theoretical methods used to analyse the experimental results will be based on the highest level quantum molecular theory and will made use of:- perturbational treatments- Direct Numerical Diagonalization (including resonance effects)Spectral regionsThe experimental work will be done in the infrared spectral region (5-1000 mm), especially in the :1. 10 mm region 800-1200 cm-12. transition region 300-500 cm-13. far infrared below 200 cm-1 Fields of science natural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsspectroscopyabsorption spectroscopynatural scienceschemical sciencesinorganic chemistryhalogensnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Programme(s) FP3-ENV 1C - Specific research and technological development programme (EEC) in the field of the environment, 1990-1994 Topic(s) Data not available Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTRE EU contribution No data Address Linder Höhe 51147 KOELN Germany See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE France EU contribution No data Address Université de Paris-Sud 11 350 Tour 13 Case 76 75252 PARIS See on map Total cost No data CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE France EU contribution No data Address Université de Paris-Sud, Batiment 351 91405 ORSAY See on map Total cost No data Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen Germany EU contribution No data Address Heinrich-Buff-Ring 35392 Giessen See on map Total cost No data University of Strathclyde United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address John Anderson Building 107 Rottenrow G4 0NG Glasgow See on map Total cost No data Università degli Studi di Firenze Italy EU contribution No data Address Largo Enrico Fermi 2 50125 Firenze See on map Total cost No data Université Libre de Bruxelles Belgium EU contribution No data Address 50,Avenue Franklin Roosevelt 1050 Bruxelles See on map Total cost No data
