THE INFRARED SPECTRUM OF METHYL CHLORIDE IN THE 1.6 MICRON $REGION^{*}$

$^{*}$This work was aided by a grant from the Research Corporation.Author Institution: Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University“The parallel component of $2v_{2}$ has been resolved and analyzed. Q branches of the sub-bands up to K $=10$ have been measured, part of the strueture of the P and R lines has been resolved, and the $K=3$ sub-band analyzed. Preliminary results give $v_{0}=6015.56$ $cm^{-1}$, ($A^{\prime} -B^{\prime})-(A^{\prime}^{\prime}-B^{\prime}^{\prime})=0.0481 cm^{-1}$, $B^{\prime}^{\prime}=0.4433 cm^{-1}$, $B^{\prime}^{\prime}=0.4432 cm^{-1}$ and $B^{\prime}-B^{\prime}^{\prime}=0.00043 cm^{-1}$
