On the other hand, presenting strong vibration-rotation bands in the 9 \u03bcm atmospheric window, it is a greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. In the present work, the vibrational and ro-vibrational properties of CH2F2, providing basic data for its atmospheric modeling, are studied in detail by coupling medium resolution Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to high-level electronic structure ab initio calculations. Experimentally a full quantum assignment and accurate integrated absorption cross sections are obtained up to 5000 cm\u22121. Ab initio calculations are carried out by using CCSD(T) theory and large basis sets of either the correlation consistent or atomic natural orbital hierarchies. By using vibrational perturbation theory to second order a complete set of vibrational and ro-vibrational parameters is derived from the ab initio quartic anharmonic force fields, which well compares with the spectroscopic constants retrieved experimentally. An excellent agreement between theory and experiment is achieved for vibrational energy levels and integrated absorption cross sections: transition frequencies up to four quanta of vibrational excitation are reproduced with a root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 7 cm\u22121 while intensities are predicted within few km mol\u22121 from the experiment. Basis set performances and core correlation effects are discussed throughout the paper. Particular attention is focused in the understanding of the anharmonic couplings which rule the vibrational dynamics of the |\u03bd1\u27e9,\u2009|2\u03bd8\u27e9,\u2009|2\u03bd2\u27e9 three levels interacting system. The reliability of the potential energy and dipole moment surfaces in reproducing the vibrational eigenvalues and intensities as well as in modeling the vibrational and ro-vibrational mixings over the whole 400\u20135000 cm\u22121 region is also demonstrated by spectacular spectral simulations carried out by using the ro-vibrational Hamiltonian constants, and the relevant coupling terms, obtained from the perturbation treatment of the ab initio anharmonic force field. The present results suggest CH2F2 as a prototype molecule to test ab initio calculations and theoretical models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4720502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,4]],"date-time":"2012-06-04T13:53:13Z","timestamp":1338817993000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Anharmonic force field and vibrational dynamics of CH2F2 up to 5000 cm\u22121 studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and state-of-the-art <i>ab initio<\/i> calculations"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"136","author":[{"given":"Nicola","family":"Tasinato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e0 Ca\u2019 Foscari Venezia 1 Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari e Nano-sistemi, , Calle Larga S.
