MICROWAVE SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF MOLECULES.

Abstract

Detailed spectroscopic studies are summarized for acetyl acetylene and trifluoroethylene. For the first of these, assignments and barrier-heights were found for three isotopic forms and very consistent results derived. For trifluoroethylene, an exhaustive study of vibrationally excited molecules was made, leading to identification of spectra for carbon-13 species in natural concentration. When these were combined with data for the deuterated species, all possible microwave structural information for the molecule was derived. Dipole moment studies of these substances are also reported with preliminary work on other molecules. Computational procedures in spectral analysis were developed. (Author)
