Sixteen new rotational transitions of cyanoacetylene in the ground vibrational state have been measured in the frequency region from 570 GHz to 710 GHz by the Cologne sub-millimeter wave spectrometer. The observed transition frequencies were analyzed together with unpublished millimeter wave data of our group and with the data available in the literature. Precise rota tional constant and the quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined; B = 4549.058224(37) MHz, D = 0.544110(19) kHz, and H = 0.0345(21) mHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
