ABSTRACT
The rovibrational spectra of metaphosphorous acid, HOPO, and its deuterated isotopologue have been studied by vibrational configuration interaction calculations, relying on the internal coordinate path Hamiltonian and the Watson Hamiltonian. Tunneling effects for the overtones of the torsional mode, which gives rise to the cis-trans isomerization, and its rovibrational transitions have been investigated in detail. Due to strong matrix effects, comparison with experimental data is hindered, and thus, the calculations provide accurate estimates for the fundamental modes of these species.
