The far infrared collision-induced spectrum of N2 gas at 300 and 124 K is analysed using an empirical lineshape function. The theory of the collision-induced spectrum of N2 is developed and expressions are derived for the first and second spectral moments in the cases of quadrupolar, hexadecapolar, and for L = 1 and L = 3 overlap induction. The spectra are then reconstructed with various combinations of these mechanisms in order to determine the best values and probable ranges of the quadrupole and hexadecapole moments and the strength of the overlap moments. We find an excellent fit for a value of the quadrupole moment that agrees with that found by Buckingham, QB = −(1.09 ± 0.05)ea02, with overlap dipole parameters λ1 = ± 1 × 10−3ea0, λ3 = 1 × 10−3ea0, and an effective hexadecapole moment Φ = −(10.4 ± 1)ea04.

The collision-induced spectra of C2N2 gas and a gaseous mixture of C2N2 and Ar at 298 K have been obtained in the spectral region below 120 cm−1 using far-infrared laser and microwave techniques as well as a Fourier-transform spectrometer. In addition, the collision-induced spectra of a gaseous mixture of CO2 and Ar are reported at temperatures of 233 and 298 K in the spectral region below 230 cm−1. The theoretical values for the spectral moments α1 and γ1 for CO2 are much smaller than the experimental values, as expected for a molecule with a relatively large quadrupole moment. However, for CO2–Ar mixtures, the agreement between the theoretically and experimentally determined spectral moments is relatively good, resulting in a value of 4.6 B for the quadrupole moment of CO2 instead of the generally accepted value of 4.3 B. The quadrupole moment of C2N2 is estimated to be 6.2 ± 0.4 B from our data and the theory for the spectral moments, if a correction is made for an overestimate of the quadrupole moment similar to that obtained for the CO2–Ar mixture. This value is considerably smaller than a previously reported calculated result of 9.0 B. Line-shape expressions based on information theory (IT6) do not yield good agreement with experiment, a result that is attributed to the large anisotropy of the molecules.

This paper deals with computations of the far-infrared collision-induced absorptions for polar linear molecules. We have considered Frost's theory for dipole- and quadrupole-induced dipole absorptions in bimolecular collisions, taking the anisotropy of the molecular polarizability into account. In addition to the induced rotational interaction, a translational effect may not be negligible. Detailed expressions for different contributions to the integrated intensities are reported for N2O. Using these calculated expressions and the moderately low pressure data, we have deduced a value for the quadrupole moment of N2O, [Formula: see text].
