Abstract

This work is a part of our systematic investigation of the very weak absorption spectra of ¹⁶O₃ and ¹⁸O₃ by high sensitivity Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy between 5850 and 7920 cm^-1. In total, 29 vibrational bands of ¹⁶O₃ and 24 bands of ¹⁸O₃ have been assigned in this range. Here we present the recent results of analyses of highly excited states of ¹⁸O₃ ozone, located near the dissociation energy (D₀~8560 cm^-1). The comparison of the vibrational band centers obtained from the analysis with the predictions based on the potential energy surface (PES) suggests that the hypothesis of the “reef structure” at the ozone transition state towards the dissociation is not confirmed by spectroscopic observations. In this work, we focus on the comparison between theoretical and experimental values of the ¹⁸O₃ vibrational levels near the dissociation limit.
