The vibration-rotation-tunneling absorption spectra of the formic acid dimer (HCOOH)2 have been measured in the C-O stretch region at 1215-1240 cm-1 using a rapid-scan tunable diode laser spectrometer in conjunction with a slit supersonic expansion. The ν5 fundamental band of the HCOOH monomer is identified and the perturbed band-center is 1220.83329(10) cm-1. Three vibrational bands centered at 1219.71, 1225.35, and 1233.95 cm-1 are assigned to the two combination bands and the ν22 fundamental band of (HCOOH)2 unambiguously. The transition f...
