Abstract: In this work, high-resolution rovibrational spectrum of (SO2)2 in the ν3 asymmetric stretching region of SO2 were measured using a mid-infrared continuously tunable external cavity quantum cascade laser combined with pulsed supersonic jet infrared absorption spectroscopy. A total of 490 infrared transitions were identified, including 395 transitions in the electron-doner (ED) band (J ≤ 29, Ka ≤ 11) and 95 transitions in the electron-acceptor (EA) band (J ≤ 21, Ka ≤ 8). By integrating previously reported microwave spectral data, spectral data of SO2 monomer in the v1 excited state, and the newly measured spectral data in this work, global fitting was performed based on the asymmetric top Hamiltonian, yielding accurate ground and excited state spectroscopic parameters including rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants. The band origins of the ED and EA bands of (SO2)2 are 1355.77424(14) cm-1 and 1356.34969(27) cm-1, respectively, exhibiting red shifts of 6.29 cm-1 and 5.71 cm-1 compared to the band origin of the v3 band of SO2 monomer.
