The absolute infrared absorption intensities of the fundamental vibrations of HCN and DCN have been measured, using the pressure broadening technique. These measurements yield the bond moments mgr;Csngbnd;H=plusmn;1.13d, mgr;Ctrpbnd;N=plusmn;1.80d and show that if C is positive in the Ctrpbnd;N dipole, H is positive in the Csngbnd;H dipole. The change in moment with internuclear distance is found to be part;mgr;/part;rCsngbnd;H=plusmn;1.05d/A, part;mgr;/part;rCtrpbnd;N=mnplus;0.66d/A. Two of the three anomalous peaks in the band ngr;1of HCN are shown to arise from the dimer of HCN.
