The high-resolution infrared spectrum of the nu(8) band of SO(2)F(2) (nu(as) SF(2)) centered at 887.2 cm(-1) has been recorded with a resolution of 2.4 x 10(-3) cm(-1). More than 8000 transitions of the C-type band with DeltaK(a) = +/-1 (and in addition some DeltaK(a) = +/-3 transitions) have been assigned. Microwave and millimeter-wave spectra of the v(8) = 1 state up to 450 GHz have been recorded, and 177 pure rotational transitions have been measured. Rotational and rovibrational data have been combined, and excited state parameters up to sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined using a Watson-type Hamiltonian in S-reduction. No perturbation was indicated. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
