Abstract The pure rotational spectrum of trioxane, (H2CO)3 the trimer of formaldehyde, has been recorded with high resolution in the frequency range between 326 and 947 GHz for the main isotopomer, the 13 C, and the 18O isotopic species in the vibrational ground state. These new high J and K data reveal that the molecule is fairly rigid. For the constants determinable from the recorded high J and K spectra (J = 90 and K = 75) the rotational constant B = 5273.257 180(33) MHz,the two quartic centrifugal distortion constants DJ, and DJK, and the three sextic constants HJ, HJK, and HKJ are needed in the fit to reproduce the measured spectra within experimental accuracy. In addition, for the 13C isotopomer the sextic constants HJK and HKJ are determined as well as the off-diagonal parameters d1 and d2.

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

Abstract a-type rotational transitions of molecules in the vibrational ground state of thioketene, H2C=C=S, have been measured in the millimeter wavelength region. The measurements yielded improved rotational constants:A = 286 655(82) MHz,B = 5 659.47596(72) MHz,C = 5 544.51269(72) MHz.A detailed centrifugal distortion analysis by means of Watson's S-reduced Hamiltonian led to the determination of four quartic, two sextic and two higher order distortion constants:DJ = 1.08569(4) kHz, HJK = 0.716(20) Hz, DJK = 168.269(77) kHz, HKJ = -408.7(73) Hz, D1 = -25.46(68) Hz, LKJ = 0.65(24) Hz, d2 = - 5.21(35) Hz, SKJ = -0.0533(24) Hz. Effective rotational and centrifugal distortion constants using planarity conditions were calculated. The electric dipole moment of thioketene was determined to be μ = 1.01(3) D.

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.

Abstract The methyl torsional fine structure in the rotational spectrum of gauche butane in the vibrational ground state was investigated in the frequency range between 10 and 141 GHz. Using the internal axis method (IAM) in the formulation of Woods, all internal rotation parameters were determined with high accuracy. The barrier height of the methyl internal rotation was determined to 11.34 (29) kJ/mol (2.710 (69) kcal/mol)

For ethylbromide a determination of the parameters of internal rotation is given derived from the rotational spectrum of the torsional and vibrational ground state. The Br-hyperfine structure is reanalysed with higher precision. As high J transitions were measured a centrifugal distortion analysis was necessary.

Abstract The rotational spectra of both 35Cl and 37Cl 1,1-difluoro-2-chloroethylene isotopomers have been measured in the frequency range 12-225 GHz. A first order quadrupole coupling analysis has been performed for both isotopic species. The calculated quadrupole coupling constants for the 37Cl species not previously reported are χaa = - 49.2 (2), χbb = 14.2 (1), and χcc = 28.7 (1). Accurate rotational constants, quartic and some sextic centrifugal distortion constants have also been determined for both isotopomers from the fit to the observed central frequencies.

AbstractThe rotational spectrum of HS3D in the vibrational ground state has been measured in the frequency range between 75 and 293 GHz. Up to now, about 180 Q-, 30 P-, and 70 R-branch c-type transitions have been identified. The preliminary rotational constants of the species observed support the cis-conformation established earlier from the H2S3 rotational spectrum.

Abstract The pure rotational spectrum of trans-acrolein in the ground vibrational state has been assigned in the frequency region from 8 GHz to 180 GHz. The measured absorption lines encompass a-type transitions from the qRK, qQ1, qQ2 branches and 6-type transitions from the rP0, rP1, rP2, rR0 brandies for values of J up to 23. The rotational constants have been refined and all quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined using Watson's reduced Hamiltonian. This information has been used to predict line positions of astrophysical interest to warrant the interstellar line search for trans-acrolein.

Infrared-laser – radio-frequency double-resonance experiments and pulsed-microwave Fourier-transform measurements have been performed with 13CD4. From 25 observed ΔJ = 0 transitions in the vibronic ground state, the tensorial centrifugal-distortion constants Dt = 32.6600(12) kHz, H4t = −2.0302(61) Hz, H6t = 1.1692(29) Hz, L4t = 1.201(77) × 10−4 Hz, L6t = −1.353(63) × 10−4 Hz, and L8t = −1.466(46) × 10−4 Hz have been determined. Experimental carbon-13 and deuterium isotope effects on the tensorial centrifugal-distortion constants of methane have been compared with theoretical predictions.

We present an analysis of the rotational spectra of 70GeH4, 72GeH4 and 74GeH4 in the vibrational ground state measured by microwave Fourier transform (MWFT) spectroscopy. All quartic, sextic and octic tensor centrifugal distortion constants have been determined. A discussion of spin-rotation and spin-spin interactions will be given in a subsequent paper.
