The free radical HBO was generated in a high-temperature furnace at 1400^\circC. The infrared spectra of the two major isotopic species, H¹¹BO and H¹⁰BO, were recorded in emission with a Fourier transform spectrometer (Bruker IFS 120HR). The wavenumber range from 400 to 3500 cm^-1 was detected at a resolution of 0.01 cm^-1. The three fundamental vibrational bands as well as various combination and hot bands have been observed. A vibrational-rotational analysis of the spectra will be presented.
