The fundamental S-S stretching mode ?3 of disulfur monoxide, S2O, located at 679 cm-1, has been investigated using Fourier-transform far-infrared spectroscopy at the SOLEIL synchrotron facility. A spectroscopic analysis has been performed using an Automated Spectral Assignment Procedure (ASAP) which permits accurate determination of more than 2000 energy levels from ?3. In addition, the ?3 ?2 - ?2 hot band was observed for the first time and some 500 corresponding energy levels were assigned. The high-resolution synchrotron study was complemented with pure rotational spectra of S2O in the (v1, v2, v3) = (0, 0, 1) vibrational state observed in the frequency range from 250 to 280 GHz using a long-path absorption cell. From these combined measurements, extensive molecular parameter sets have been determined and precise band centers have been derived for both vibrational bands.

A spectroscopic analysis has been performed using an Automated Spectral Assignment Procedure (ASAP) which permits accurate determination of more than 2000 energy levels from ?3. In addition, the ?3 + ?2 - ?2 hot band was observed for the first time and some 500 corresponding energy levels were assigned.
