The rotational spectrum of the ClS2 free radical in the gaseous phase has been observed in the millimetre- and submillimetre-wave regions. The ClS2 radical was generated by a dc glow discharge in either S2Cl2 or SCl2. Both a- and b-type R-branch transitions, most of which were split into two fine structure components, were detected for both of the 35Cl and 37Cl isotopic species in the ground vibronic state. As expected from the small hyperfine interaction constants reported by an electron spin resonance (ESR) study, the hyperfine structure was resolved for none of the transitions observed in the present study. Analysis of the observed transition frequencies yielded rotational and centrifugal distortion constants and also spin–rotation interaction constants with their centrifugal corrections. The spin–rotation interaction constants obtained in the present study were consistent with g values of the ESR study. The rotational constants of the two isotopic species led to the structure parameters r(S—S) = 1.906 (7) Å, r(S—Cl) = 2.071 (5) Å, and θ(SSCl) = 110.3 (4)°. A harmonic force field was derived from the observed centrifugal distortion constants and inertial defects combined with the ν1 frequency reported in literature on electronic spectroscopy. This harmonic force field yielded the ν2 and ν3 frequencies (445 (21) and 213.0 (2) cm−1, respectively, for 35ClS2), which differed considerably from the values reported previously.

The microwave spectra of four isotopic species of propiolyl chloride, HCCCOCl, have been measured for their ground and υ9 = 1 excited vibrational states. Values for the rotational constants, quartic centrifugal distortion constants, chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, and the molecular dipole moment have been obtained. The centrifugal distortion constants have been combined with vibrational wavenumbers from the literature to calculate an approximate harmonic force field. Effective and ground state average structures of the most abundant isotopic species, H12C12C12C16O35Cl, are presented.

AbstractThe boron and nitrogen hyperfine structure in the rotational spectra of two aminoborane isotopomers, 11 BH2NH2 and 10BH2NH2, has been investigated and the quadrupole coupling constants of boron 10B, 11B and nitrogen 14N have been determined. We get the following results for the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants: χaa(11B) = -1.684 (14) MHz, χbb(11B) = -2.212 (11) MHz, χcc(11B) = 3.896(11) MHz, χaa(10B) = -3.481 (11) MHz, χbb(10B) = -4.623 (14) MHz, χCC(10B) = 8.104 (14) MHz and xaa(14N) = 0.095 (9) MHz, χbb(14N) = 2.091 (8) MHz, χcf4 (14N)=-2.186 (8) MHz. These nitrogen quadrupole coupling constants are those of the 11BH2 NH2 isotopomer. Additionally we were able to determine two out of the three spin rotation coupling constants caa, cbb, and ccc of boron, caa(11 B = 55.2 (26) kHz, cbb(11B) = 6.62 (36) kHz, caa (10B) = 15.26 (69) kHz and cbb(10B) = 4.94 (70) kHz. The spin rotation coupling constants ccc had to be fixed to zero in both cases. Furthermore we measured the rotational spectra in the mm-wave region to determine all quartic and several sextic centrifugal distortion constants according to Watson's A and S reduction


The rotational spectra of six isotopic species of HCN∙ ∙ ∙HF in their vibrational ground states have been observed by pulsed-nozzle, Fourier-transform, microwave spectroscopy and have been analysed to yield the rotational constants B 0 , centrifugal distortion constants D J and various hyperfine coupling constants X i (D), X 3 ( 14 N) and D 4, 5 as follows (subscripts refer to the numbering scheme H (1) C (2) N (3) ∙ ∙ ∙H (4) F (5) ). isotopic species B 0 / MH Z D J /kH Z X i (D)/kH Z X 3 ( 14 N)/MH Z D 4, 5 (H, F)/kH Z HC 15 N∙ ∙ ∙HF 3573 5874(2) 6.97(2) ─ ─ –242(6) HC 15 N∙ ∙ ∙DF 3551.5110 6.83 269(4)( i = 4) ─ ─ HC 14 N∙ ∙ ∙HF 3591.1552 6.99 ─ –4.098(4) –218(6) HC 14 N∙ ∙ ∙DF 3569.6576 6.86 259(2)( i = 4) –4.096(1) ─ DC 15 N∙ ∙ ∙HF 3360.3549 5.85 186(5)( i = 1) ─ –244(4) DC 15 N∙ ∙ ∙DF 3338.0824 5.81 { 181(10) ( i = 1) ─ ─ 283(7) ( i = 4) The B 0 values lead to conclusions about the dimer geometry, the D J values allow the hydrogen bond stretching force constant k σ to be determined and the hyperfine coupling constants provide information about the internal dynamics of the subunits. An analysis of the D nuclear quadrupole coupling and H, F nuclear spin nuclear-spin coupling constants demonstrates that the H—F bond lengthens by 0.14 Å when the heterodimer HCN∙ ∙ ∙HF is formed. (1 Å = 10 –10 m = 10 –1 nm.)

The rotational spectrum of 3-bromothiophene was investigated in the frequency range between 8 and 18 GHz by use of a microwave Fourier transform spectrometer. Both a- and b-type spectra were assigned for the vibronic ground state. Rotational constants, quartic centrifugal distortion constants and quadrupole coupling constants were obtained for the 79Br- and 81Br-isotopic species. For the analysis, the effective rotational Hamiltonian including centrifugal distortion in the form of Van Eijck's symmetric top reduction and bromine quadrupole coupling was set up in the coupled basis of the limiting symmetric top, J, K, I, F, MF>, and was diagonalized numerically. Spin rotation interaction was neglected
