The high CH bond stretching vibrational states spectra (from Δv = 1 to 6) are presented for two isotopomers
of cyclopentene: cyclopentene-1,2,3,4,4,5,5-d
7 and cyclopentene-4,4,5,5-d
4. They are analyzed simultaneously
with a model Hamiltonian expressed in internal curvilinear coordinates. Because of the size of the molecules,
only the CH2 or CHD chromophore is considered in the calculations (two bond stretches and five angle
deformations). The results show a reasonable agreement between the experimental and calculated spectra for
the two molecules with the use of the same anharmonic potential.
