The high resolution far-infrared spectrum of rans -butadiene has been reinvestigated by Fourier-transform spectroscopy at two synchrotron radiation facilities, SOLEIL and the Canadian Light Source, at temperatures ranging from 50 to 340 K. Beyond the well-studied bands, two new fundamental bands lying below 1100 cm -1 , ν 10 and ν 24 , have been assigned using a combination of cross-correlation (ASAP software) and Loomis-Wood type (LWWa software) diagrams. While the ν 24 analysis was rather straightforward, ν 10 exhibits obvious signs of a strong perturbation, presumably owing to interaction with the dark ν 9 + ν 12 state. Effective rotational constants have been derived for both the v 10 = 1 and v 24 = 1 states. Since only one weak, infrared active fundamental band (ν 23 ) of rans -butadiene remains to be observed at high resolution in the far-infrared, searches for the elusive gauche conformer can now be undertaken with considerably greater confidence in the dense ro-vibrational spectrum of the rans form.
