The [Formula: see text] band systems of HCO and DCO have been reinvestigated with higher resolving power than in earlier work. Some weak lines have been assigned to K′ = 0 – K″ = 0 and K′ = 0 – K″ = 2 subbands; these lines derive their intensity from axis switching. The new data give values for the A rotational constants of HCO and DCO and permit a more reliable determination of the ground state geometry, viz, r0(CH) = 1.125(5) Å, r0(CO) = 1.175(1) Å, [Formula: see text]. The sign of the spin–rotation constant εaa has been shown to be positive.

The geometry and electronic structure of 1.3.5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) has been determined by semiempirical quantum methods. Using the MNDO approach, the salient dependencies of the first ionization potential, the intramolecular distances and the bond angles on the dihedral angle between the planes of the TPB benzene rings were established. By an application of the CNDO/S method the UV spectrum of TPB was calculated. A comparison of the calculated transition energies with the values observed in the absorption spectrum yields 45° for the dihedral angle, which is in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data.


The infra-red absorption of nitrous oxide gas near 4·5 μ has been re-investigated using high resolving power. The rotational fine structure has been split up and shown to involve two vibrational transitions, one due to absorption of a fundamental from the ground state, and the other to a π → π transition from an excited vibrational level. The transitions have been analyzed theoretically and rotational constants obtained. The results serve to emphasize the importance of using more precise wave-length standards for infra-red measurements than have been used hitherto, if the rotational constants are to be obtained with accuracy com­parable to that achieved by microwave measurements. Excellent agreement with the latter has now been found.

Abstract The ground state microwave spectrum of 2-iodopropene has been reinvestigated using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The barrier hindering methyl internal rotation could be ob­ tained from narrow splittings of high-J lines. In addition an improved hyperfme structure and centrifugal distortion analysis resulted in refined constants and an approximate determination of the iodine spin-rotation coupling parameters.

The ground state J = 2 ←1 , K = 0 and K = 1 ro-inversional spectrum of 14NH3 and 15NH3 at 1.2 THz has been measured with an accuracy of 20 kHz using the Cologne terahertz spectrometer. The measured frequencies for the K = 0 components are:14NH3 (J, K) = a(2, 0) - s( 1,0): 1 214 852.942(20) MHz, 15NH3 (J, K) = a(2, 0 ) - s( 1,0) : 1 210 889.556(20) MHz.In addition we have determined from saturation dip measurements of the J = 1 - 0 transition the spin-rotation constant CN = 6.7(3) kHz and the unsplit line center frequency: 14NH3 (J, K) = s( 1, 0) - a(0, 0): 572 498.163( 10) MHz. The new results are in excellent agreement with existing high resolution Fourier transform data. The terahertz line frequencies are of considerably higher accuracy than the FT-data. by about two orders of magnitude. They will serve as future calibration lines. The ro-inversional transitions are of astrophysical interest
