The investigation on microwave spectrum of benzophenone was conducted with a recently constructed broadband chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer with a heating nozzle in the 2–8 GHz range. In this work, 138 b-type pure rotational transitions were assigned to bridge the measuring gap in the microwave region. The rotational constants for benzophenone were accurately determined by a combined microwave data fitting with frequency coverage between 2–14 GHz and have the following values: A = 1692.8892190(119) MHz, B = 412.6446602(43) MHz and C = 353.8745644(43) 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.
