In an attempt to account for the large-amplitude torsional \(\nu_{9}\) mode of nitric acid, a formalism is set up, based on an internal-axis-method-like approach previously developed for high-barrier tunneling problems. This formalism is applied to the calculation of the tunneling-rotationalvibratio

✦ Synopsis
A wide variety of microwave transitions within the £ 9 Å 1 vibrational state of nitric acid have been measured in the millimeter/submillimeter region. Torsional splittings on the order of 2.5 MHz have been observed and are due to the fact that the n 9 mode is a large amplitude torsional-type motion. Using an internal-axis-method-like formalism, an approach was developed to account for the effects of this large amplitude motion and was afterward applied to the analysis of the microwave frequencies. The model fits the data to within experimental accuracy, and provides quantitative predictions of relative transition intensities.

Torsional splittings in both the \(2 \nu_{9}\) and \(\nu_{5}\) vibrational states have been resolved and observed in the millimeter/submillimeter spectrum of \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\). The former splitting is due to the torsional motion of \(\mathrm{H}\) around the \(\mathrm{NO}\) bond in the \(v_{9}\) m
Using Fourier transform spectra recorded at 25 and \(12 \mu \mathrm{m}\), it has been possible to perform the first analysis of the \(3 \nu_{9}-2 \nu_{9}, 3 \nu_{9}-\nu_{5}\) and \(3 \nu_{9}-\nu_{9}\) hot bands of \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) located at \(392.4 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\), \(409.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}
