This dataset contains the relevant spectral files for the room temperature CH2I2 rovibrational spectrum and simulations 1. Experimental spectrum Filename: CH2I2_full_experimental_spectrum.txt This is a text file containing the full experimental spectrum from 2932.61 to 3125.44 cm^-1 Y axis is absorbance based on ln(I/I0), where I is the signal image and I0 is the background image, this can y axis can be converted to absorption cross section (cm^2 molecule^-1) using the parameters: concentration: (6.8 +/- 1.3) x 10^15 cm^3 molecule^-1 path length: 560 +/- 60 cm 2. Nu_6 experimental simulations Filename: CH2I2_nu6_final_simulation.pgo This is a Pgopher file containing the final simulation for the nu_6 vibrational transition. Version 11 of Pgopher is needed to open this file, which is freely available from the Pgopher website: http://pgopher.chm.bris.ac.uk/ The simulation is valid from 3025 to 3120 cm^-1 and covers 6 vibrational transitions. The y axis is automatically in normalised intensity. Important parameters: Temperature: 300 K, gaussian broadening: 0.0023 cm^-1, lorenztian broadening: 0.0174 cm^-1 Filename: CH2I2_nu6_final_simulation.dat This is a data file containing the final simuation for the nu_6 vibrational transitions. This is the exact same as the pgopher file stated above but in data form so it can be easily opened in Notepad, Excel, etc. if the Pgopher file cannot be accessed. The x axis ranges from 3025 to 3120 cm^-1 and the y axis is just a normalised intensity Filename: CH2I2_nu6_final_simulation_linelist.txt This is a txt file containing the final simuation for the nu_6 vibrational transitions. This is the exact same simulation as the Pgopher and dat file above, but in line list form. The x axis ranges from 3025 to 3120 cm^-1 and the y axis is intensity expressed as a fraction of the strongest line. For the line list, the broadening parameters stated above have been removed and lines below a threshold of 5 x 10^-7 have not been included. 3.
