Nuclear quadrupaole hyperfine structure in 21,2 t--30,3 and 11,1 4-20,2 rotational transitions of CH23 5C l2 at 9.2 and 15.9 GHz, respectively, was measured with a newly constructed pulsed supersonic beam, cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. All components of nuclear quadrupole splitting tensors of the chlorine nuclei in inertial and in principal quadrupole axes were determined. It is shown that in methylene halide molecules nuclear quadrupole information leads to a value for L(XCX) which is systematically larger than L(XCX) defined by the positions of the nuclei. Some novel features of the spectrometer are also described.
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.
