FTIR SYNCHROTRON SPECTROSCOPY OF THE ASYMMETRIC C-H STRETCHING BANDS OF METHYL MERCAPTAN (CH3SH) – A PERPLEXITY OF PERTURBATIONS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The infrared Fourier transform spectrum of the asymmetric C-H stretching bands of CH$_{3}$SH has been recorded in the 2950-3100 cm$^{-1}$ region at Doppler limited resolution using synchrotron radiation at the FIR beamline of the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon. Assignment of numerous torsion-rotation sub-bands for the asymmetric stretches has revealed a surprising pseudo-symmetric behavior, in which each band is seen in only one of the two possible $\\Delta$K selection rules. The upper states of the two asymmetric stretching vibrational bands thus appear to behave more like $\\it{l}$ = $\\pm$ 1 components of a degenerate E state of a symmetric top rather than distinct vibrational states. The two components are separated by about 1.5 cm$^{-1}$ at K = 0, and then diverge linearly at higher K with torsional oscillation amplitude similar to that of the ground state of about 1.3 cm$^{-1}$. The divergence is consistent with an a-type Coriolis splitting picture with an effective Coriolis constant $\\zeta$ $\\approx$ 0.075.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
