Using results from our analysis of rotational and infrared spectra of 2, 3, 5, and 6 we have fit the hot bands in the 6 region near 774 cm-1 originating in 2, 3, and 5 as well as the 2 6 overtone band. Although the 2 6 state is perturbed by the nearby and as yet unassigned 2+ 3 and 2+ 5 states, a set of effective parameters was derived which adequately describes the 2 6 spectrum as well as the 2 6- 6 hot band. These results improve the description of the 6 spectrum, particularly in the Q-branch region. The molecular parameters will be presented and examples of spectra will be shown.
