The high-resolution infrared absorption spectrum of spiropentane (C 5 H 8) has been measured from 200 to 4000 cm −1 , and a detailed analysis is presented for eight bands in the region from 700 to 2200 cm −1. Two fundamental perpendicular bands were analyzed, ν 22 and ν 24 near 1050 and 780 cm −1 , respectively, along with two fundamental parallel bands, ν 14 and ν 16 near 1540 and 990 cm −1 , respectively. Two other fundamentals, ν 17 and ν 23 , are seen as intense overlapping bands near 880 cm −1 and are Coriolis-coupled, producing a complex mixture in which only Pbranch transitions could be tentatively assigned for ν 17. In addition, three binary combination bands were fit at about 1570, 2082, and 2098 cm −1 which are assigned as either 2ν 24 or ν 5 +ν 16 in the first case, ν 4 +ν 22 in the second case, and 2ν 22 in the latter case. The two l-type resonance constants, q + and q − , were determined for each of the two perpendicular fundamentals ν 22 and ν 24. Those two constants were also responsible for splittings observed in the K = 3 levels of ν 24. For the ground state the order of the split K = 2 B 1 /B 2 levels has been reversed from that reported previously, based on the measurements and assignments for the ν 24 band. Rovibrational parameters deduced from the analyses are compared with those obtained from density functional Gaussian calculations at the anharmonic level.
