Abstract

The absorption spectrum of 13CH4 is studied in the range from 9000 to 9200 cm−1 at temperatures from 208 to 296 K using a Bruker IFS 125M Fourier spectrometer. Lines of the R-branch of the 3ν3 13CH4 band are identified up to the rotational quantum number J = 11. The list of the lines identified includes nine previously unknown lines with high rotational quantum numbers. The symmetry type (А1, А2, F1, F2, E) is determined for 32 levels of the (0030) state of the 13CH4 molecule up to J = 10 for the first time.
