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.

Abstract The rotational transitions J = 1 → 2 and 2 → 3 were measured in 115In19F. From these spectra the following molecular parameters have been determined: the Dunham-coefficients Y01, Y11 and Y02, the quadrupole coupling constants, eqQ, in the ν = 0 and v = 1 vibrational states as well as the spin-rotation coupling constant cIn.
