FTIR synchrotron spectroscopy of the S–H stretching fundamental of the <sup>12</sup>CH<sub>3</sub><sup>32</sup>SH species of methyl mercaptan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The infrared Fourier transform spectrum of the S–H stretching fundamental band of 12CH3 32SH has been recorded using synchrotron radiation at the far-infrared beamline of the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon. The S–H stretch is a hybrid band predominantly of perpendicular b-type with a small parallel a-component. With both ΔK = +1 and ΔK = −1 sub-bands present, the assignments are well determined from ground-state combination difference relations. The identified sub-bands access S–H stretching ground torsional substates from K′ = 0–14 for A and E torsional species. The substate origins have been obtained by expanding the term values in J(J + 1) power series, and have been fitted to a simple 6-parameter Fourier Hamiltonian to deduce the torsional energies. The oscillation amplitude of the S–H stretching torsional curves is 0.547 cm− 1 compared to 0.653 cm− 1 for the ground state, implying an increase on the order of 6.9% in the torsional barrier height. The vibrational wavenumber for the S–H stretch mode is found to be 2603.5 cm− 1.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
