Abstract
The rotation-inversion spectrum of in the ground vibrational state has been measured with high-resolution microwave techniques in the frequency range of 210-633 GHz. Components of the transitions were observed. Analysis of the results yielded the following rotational constants: MHz, MHz, and MHz, with the nuclear quadrupole coupling MHz. The inversion frequency, corrected for rotational distortion, was found to be 305.89 ± 0.11 MHz. Molecular substitution structures obtained were bond length 1.0132 ÅA and bond angle 107° 13' for the combination : , ; bond length 1.0128 ÅA and bond angle 107° 2' for the combination : , .
