“…Consequently the rms deviation for the vibrational frequencies of the ⌺ states, including those with values above 10 000 cm Ϫ1 , slightly increase up to 0.519 cm Ϫ1 . We should note as well that Yang and Noda have recently observed the CO 2 overtone transitions for the states (4, 0 0 , 3) 2,3,4 and (2, 0 0 , 5) 1,2,3 using optoacoustic spectroscopy (4). The uncertainty of the measured band origins for these transitions is 1-2 cm Ϫ1 .…”
