Abstract

Assignments have been made in the sub-bands of the symmetric and antisymmetric stretching vibrations of hydrogen peroxide arising from rotational levels of the ground torsional state with K quantum number equal to 8. The ground state energy levels are markedly affected by an interaction with levels of the first excited torsional state with K equal to 6. Assignments made in the antisymmetric stretching hot band, up to K equal to 8, confirm this interpretation. This perturbation has lesser, but still significant effects on other K values of the ground torsional state, and will require some revision of the ground state rotational constants recently determined from extensive submillimeter $data^{1,2}$. $^{1}$W.
