A supersonic free-jet spectrum of the nu4 band of CF3Cl has been measured using a quantum cascade laser system. Those measurements were combined with a low temperature (-67 C) FTS spectrum of the region 1060 to 1260 cm-1 to give improved values for the rovibrational constants for the nu1, 2 nu5, and nu4 states of the CF335Cl AND CF337Cl. The principal perturbation found by earlier investigators in the nu1 band is treated as a very weak Coriolis interaction at several avoided crossings of the rotational levels of the nu1 state and the 2 nu5 state with kl <0. Room temperature FTS measurements were also made for the region 400 to 970 cm-1. With these new measurements we now have high resolution data on the states nu1, nu2, nu3, nu4, and nu5. Also included in this analysis are the overtones 2 nu3 and 2 nu6 and a few hot bands.
