“…Only a few aromatic compounds including the benzene molecule and its isotopomers [20,21] have been investigated in high resolution by FTIR [20][21][22][23][24][25] and diode laser spectroscopy [26,27], so far. We have initiated a project to systematically record and analyze the FTIR spectra of the aromatic compounds fluoro- [28] and chlorobenzene [29], phenol, aniline (see also [30][31][32]) and benzaldehyde and the heterocyclic aromatic compounds pyridine [33,34] and pyrimidine [35]. The subject of the present paper is the detailed rovibrational analysis of pyrimidine in the region 600-900 cm À1 .…”
