MICROWAVE SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF MOLECULES,

Abstract

A summary is given of the progress of microwave spectroscopic studies of the properties of several molecules in the period 1 January 1962 to 31st Dec. 1962. Approximately 180 absorption lines were measured for acetyl acetylene, fifty of which were assigned to give accurate rota tional constants. A preliminary analysis was made of the splittings due to internal rotation of the methyl group. Work was begun on deuter ated species of this substance. Preliminary values of the a- and b-components of the dipole moment were obtained. About 100 lines were meas ured for trifluoroethylene, and work on a tenta tive assignment was begun. Preliminary work on the linear molecules iodo-cyanoacetylene and bromo-cyanoacetylene was also initiated in the period covered. (Author)
