Abstract
A Doppler-limited isotropic Raman spectrum of the symmetric stretching fundamental $(\nu_{1})$ of $^{28}SiH_{4}$ has been recorded using high-sensitivity “quasi-cw” inverse Raman spectroscopy. Unlike the corresponding fundamentals of $^{12}CH_{4}$ (1) and $^{13}CH_{4}$ (2), this band exhibits compact non-overlapping J manifolds that extend over about $5 cm^{-1}$. Since $\nu_{1}$ and the infrared-active stretch $\nu_{3}$ reported by Cabana et al. (3) and the Raman frequencies of $\nu_{1}$ Q (0) through Q(14). The results confirm the infrared analysis (3), in which several perturbation-allowed $\nu_{1}$ transitions were identified in absorption, but the molecular constants are much better determined by the inclusion of the Raman data. Significant intensity perturbations occur at higher J due to a break down of the selection rule $\Delta=0$ (N is the index distinguishing between levels of the same J and rovibrational symmetry), and have been quantitatively accounted for.
