CF4 is a strong greenhouse gas of both anthropogenic and natural origin [D.R. Worton et al., Environ. Sci. Technol. 41, 2184 (2007)]. However, high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of this molecule has received only a limited interest up to now. Until very recently, the public databases only contained cross-sections for this species, but no detailed line list. We reinvestigate here the strongly absorbing ν3 region around 7.8 μm. New Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra up to a maximal resolution of 0.0025 cm−1 have been recorded: (i) room-temperature spectra in a static cell and (ii) a supersonic expansion jet spectrum at a 23 K estimated temperature. Following the work of Gabard et al. [Mol. Phys. 85, 735 (1995)], we perform a simultaneous analysis of both the ν3 and 2ν4 bands since a strong Coriolis interaction occurs between them, perturbing the ν3 R-branch rotational clusters around J = 20. Similarly to Gabard et al. , we also include ν4 FTIR data and microwave data in the fit. The analysis is pe...
