Abstract
In 1987, Friedl and Sander \textbf{91}, 2721 (1987).} reported observation of the FTIR spectrum of the $\nu_2$ band of $^{14}$NO$_3$ in 762 cm$^{-1}$ region, and rotational analysis was carried out for only transitions with K=3. The obtained negative centrifugal distortion constant $D$$_N$ implied presence of perturbation from other states, but the perturbation analysis has not been carried out. In the present study, the $\nu_2$ band of \textrm{$^{15}$NO$_3$} was first observed in 742 cm$^{-1}$ region. In contrast to the case of $^{14}$NO$_3$ , rotational assignments were carried out for K=0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15, and transitions with N$\leq$12 were fitted with usual energy level expression for $D$$_{3h}$ molecule. However, when we included higher N transitions up to N=22, an effect of Coriolis interaction from v$_4$=2 appeared in negative $D$$_N$ for K=0 and staggering in K=3. An energy matrix including $\ell$=0 and $\ell$=$\pm$2 of v$_4$=2 and $\ell$=0 of v$_2$ =1 was used to obtain the energy values of v$_2$ =1 , including the Corilis and $\ell$-type resonance terms. From the determined interaction constant between v$_2$ =1 and v$_4$=2 , anharmonic constant k$_{444}$ was estimated, by assuming a mixing of v$_4$=1 and v$_4$=2.
