The pure rotational spectra of [18O]ketene, H2C=C18O, [1-13C]ketene, H2C=13CO, and [2-13C]ketene, H213C=CO, have been revisited in the frequency region 200 - 350 GHz in the ground vibrational state.From more than 100 R-branch transitions for each isotopomer a set of rotational and centrifugal distortion constants could be derived using the Watson S-reduction formalism. The values obtained for the rotational constants B and C agree very well with results of former investigations. The agreement is worse with respect to the A constants, but our newly determined A values agree well with the corresponding values of the main species and the 17O isotopomer.

Abstract The pure rotational spectrum of vinyl isocyanide in the ground vibrational state has been as-signed in the frequency region from 8 GHz to 180 GHz. The measured absorption lines encompass 157 a-type transitions from the qRK , qQ1, qQ2,qQ3, qQ4 and qQ5 branches and 48 b-type transitions from the rP0 , rP1, rP2, rP3 , rP4 , rP5, rQ0 , and rQ1 branches for values of J up to 54. The rotational constants have been refined and all quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined using Watson's reduced Hamiltonian. No quadrupole hyperfine splitting was observed.

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.

The pure rotational spectra in the ground vibrational state of (1,2-13C)ketene, H213C=13CO, (D2,1-13C)ketene, D2C=13CO, (D2,2-13C)ketene, D213C=CO, and (D2,18O)ketene, D2C=C18O, have been observed in the frequency region 200 - 350 GHz. All the spectral lines have been measured in natural abundances with a source modulated millimeterwave spectrometer.From the measured R-branch transitions a set of rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for each isotopomer could be derived, using the Watson S-reduction formalism. Further, the rotational spectra of the two isotopomers (4,5-D)ketene, D2CCO, and (4-D)ketene, DHCCO, which were already measured several years ago, have been extended to higher J-values and higher frequencies, as it is the case for all investigated isotopomers of this work. As a result of these studies a calculation of a mass-dependent structure will be the topic of a next paper.

Abstract The rotational spectra of the two abundant isomers of monothioformic acid, cis- and trans- HC(:O)SH, have been assigned in the frequency region 8 -250 GHz. Over 90 a-type transitions and over 60 b-type transitions have been measured for each rotamer. The a-type transitions belong to the qRK , qQ1, qQ2, qQ3 and qQ4 branches and the b-type absorption lines encompass the Ka = 1 - 0, 2 - 1, 3 - 2, 4 - 3 and 5 - 4 rotational sub-bands. The rotational constants and all quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for each rotamer using Watson's reduced Hamiltonian. In addition to the measured line positions the frequencies of some selected low-J transitions, not observed in this work but of potential astrophysical interest, have been listed as an aid in the interstellar search for monothioformic acid.

The microwave and millimeterwave spectrum of 15N-fluoracetonitrile(CH2FC15N) in the ground vibrational state are investigated in the region between 8 and 150 GHz. The measured transitions are fitted to a Hamiltonian with three rotational constants, five quartic and seven sextic centrifugal distortion constants in the symmetric top limit of van Eijck-Typke and in the s-reduction of Watson. The rotational constants are used to improve the calculated r0 -restructure of the fluoracetonitrile molecule.

The microwave spectrum of the deuterated form of fulminic acid (DCNO) has been investigated in the frequency region from 9 to 42 GHz. For the ground vibrational state of DCNO the following rotational constants were obtained: B0(D12C14N16O) =10 292.50 MHz,B0(D13C14N18O) =10 011.66 MHz,B0(D12C14N18O) = 9 758.87 MHz. The corresponding moments of inertia yield a combined rs and r0 structure: rDC = 1.027 ±0.001 Å, rCN = 1·168 ±0.001 Å, rNO = 1.199 ± 0.001 Å. For the two degenerate bending modes ν4 and ν5 the l-type doublets of the transition J = 1 - 2 and the two corresponding series of l-type doubling transitions have been observed. The analysis of the two l-type doubling series revealed that P4 and P6 centrifugal distortion contributions are sufficient to account for the spectrum. The doubling constants given in MHz are q4 = 17.9103-(0.6467 · 10-4)J(J + 1) +(0.188 · 10-8) [J(J + 1)]2, q5 = 38.0907-(0.3061 · 10-3)J(J + 1) + (0.314 · 10-8)[J(J + 1) ]2. A third series of l-type doubling transitions arising from the II-level of the ν5=3 vibrational state has been found and analysed, yielding: q(0)3×5 =29.2748 ± 1.8 · 10-4 MHz; EΦ-EII=Δ ≅ 41 cm-1.

The rotational spectra of silacyclopropenylidene, c-C2H2Si, and its isotopic species (C2H229Si, C2D2Si, 13C2H2Si) were observed in the frequency region of 220–400 GHz by using a source-modulated microwave spectrometer combined with a free space absorption cell. c-C2H2Si was produced in the cell by discharging a mixture of SiH4, C2H2, and He. Least-squares analyses of the observed spectral lines yielded the rotational constants and the centrifugal distortion constants for the normal and its isotopic species. From the observed rotational constants, the rs structure was determined: rs (C=C) = 1.3458 Å, rs (C—Si) = 1.8200 Å rs (C—H) = 1.0795 Å, and [Formula: see text]. (1 Å = 10−10 m.)

Abstract The rotational spectra of three isotopically substituted species of monothioformic acid, DCOSH, HCOSD, HCO34SH, have been investigated. Transitions arising from two different isomeric forms have been observed in each instance. Rotational constants and quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for all species using Watson’s reduced Hamiltonian. It has been established that the two abundant isomers of monothioformic acid are the planar cis and trans thiol rotamers. The structure of cis-HC ( :O ) SH is found to be: r ( C - H ) =1.100 Å, r ( S - H ) =1.336 Å, r ( C - S ) =1.771 Å, r(C=0) =1.210 Å, ∢(OCS) =122.4°, ∢(HSC) =94.7° and ∢(HCS) = 114.6°; whereas for trans-HC ( :O ) SH: r(C - H ) =1.100 Å, r (S - H) =1.351 Å, r (C - S) = 1.763 Å, r(C=O) = 1.218 Å, ∢(OCS) =126.0°, ∢(HSC) = 92.7 ° and ∢(HCS) =111.8°.

Abstract Sixteen new rotational transitions of cyanoacetylene in the ground vibrational state have been measured in the frequency region from 570 GHz to 710 GHz by the Cologne sub-millimeter wave spectrometer. The observed transition frequencies were analyzed together with unpublished millimeter wave data of our group and with the data available in the literature. Precise rota­ tional constant and the quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined; B = 4549.058224(37) MHz, D = 0.544110(19) kHz, and H = 0.0345(21) mHz.
