The microwave rotational spectrum of the hydrogen-bonded heterodimer CH 3 CN • • • HF has been identified and shown to be characteristic of a symmetric top. A detailed analysis of several rotational transitions for a variety of isotopic species gives the spectroscopic constants summarized in the following table: Rotational constants/MHz, vibration-rotation constants/MHz and vibrational separations/cm -1 of CH 3 CN • • • HF


The hydrogen bonded dimer formed between cyanoacetylene and hydrogen fluoride has been identified through its infrared and microwave spectra. Two microwave techniques, continuous wave and pulsed-nozzle Fourier-transform spectroscopy, have been combined to identify unambiguously the vibrational ground state transitions and to assign vibrational satellites. In making the assignments, much use has been made of computer simu­lation of spectra, which is described in an Appendix. Analysis of the microwave spectra led to the following spectroscopic constants and molecular parameters.

The rotational spectrum of the hydrogen cyanide dimer has been observed in the frequency range 26-40 GHz by using a Stark-modulated microwave spectrometer. Although the spectrum is very weak, even under optimum conditions, it has been possible to assign vibrational satellites in the v β progression based on the ground state and in the v β progression based on v σ ═ 1 with the aid of the computer simulation of spectra and the ground-state spectroscopic constants. The spectroscopic constants now available for the hydrogen cyanide dimerare summarized as follows: (HC 14 N) 2 (DC 14 N) 2 (HC 15 N) 2 v β ═ 1 ← 0/cm -1 35±5 30±5 35±5 v σ ═ 1 ← 0/cm -1 101 ─ ─ B o /MHz 1745.80973(50) 1661.18(26) 1684.28825(25) D J /kHz 2.133(30) (1.873) 1.900(30) r c. m ./nm 44.496 ─ 44.499 K σ /(Nm -1 ) 8.14 ─ 8.51 α β /MHz ─20.07 (2) ─17.73 (27) ─18.74 (9) γ β /MHz 0.266 (4) 0.242 (36) 0.250 (17) q β /MHz 5.33 (4) 5.44 (13) 5.15 (10) α σ /MHz (31.44) ─ ─

We have recorded a laser excitation spectrum of the A3Π–X3Σ− electronic band system of the CNN radical in the gas phase, at a resolution of ca. 0.8 cm−1. The rotational branch structure of the vibrational band near 419 nm has been simulated and molecular parameters are obtained. The results are compared with data from laser-induced-fluorescence spectra of CNN trapped in a low-temperature matrix. A revised value for the spin-orbit parameter in the A3Π state is obtained and comparison is made with the values for related molecules. The possible detection of CNN in astrophysical sources is considered and the general features of its rotational spectrum in the ground electronic state are described.

Abstract The molecular Zeeman effect has been observed in the rotational spectrum of 2-fluoropyridine at magnetic fields close to 25000 G. The measured molecular g-values are gaa = -0.0880 ± 0.0007, gbb = - 0.0405 ±0.0006, gcc = + 0.0233 ±0.0006, and the two linearily independant components of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy are 2 · χaa - χbb - χcc = 50.5 ± 1.6 and 2 · χbb - χcc - χaa - 53.8 ± 1.1 in units of 10-6 erg/G2 mol). The a-axis is close to the C-F-bond and the c-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the ring. A comparison of the gas-phase out-of-plane minus the average in-plane values for the susceptibilities of 2-fluoropyridine, pyridine, and fluorobenzene with the corresponding value for benzene in crystalline phase leads to the conclusion that the susceptibilities may change in the order of 10% when going from solid or liquid phase to the gasphase. A short description of the microwave-Zeeman spectrograph built at Kiel University is given. In the theoretical section expressions for the g-values and susceptibilities are derived which are more complete then those used up to now.
