Abstract: Apotential energy surface for the electronic ground state of sulfur dioxide was optimized by using a variational procedure with the exact vibrational Hamiltonian in the bond length-bond angle coordinates.In the optimization, the ab initio force field of Martin is taken as the starting point, and the observed vibrational band origins up to6 500 cm-1are involved.The root mean square error of this fit for the38observed vibrational energy levels is0.93 cm-1. In order to test the refined potential, the vibrational energy levels for the isotopomer34 SO2were calculated and compared with the observed values and other theoretical results.The rovibrational energy levels up to J =6 were also calculated and compared with the observed values

Key words: SO2, Rovibrational energy levels, Potential energy surface
