Compounds which are nearly symmetric tops, have ∼20 mtorr vapor pressure and have a sizeable dipole moment along the a axis display band microwave rotational spectra under low resolution conditions. The frequencies of the band maxima are adequately represented by a symmetric rotor type equation, ν = (B + C)(J + 1). From calculated spectra it is shown that the B + C value defined above exceeds the ground state effective rotational constant B0 + C0. Low resolution B + C values and high resolution B0 + C0 values are compared for nineteen species. B + C differs from B0 + C0 by less than 2% in all cases and less than 0.8% for molecules with κ < −0.8. Empirically it is found that (B + C)/(B0 + C0) − 1 = ν/ν0 − 1 = 0.025(±0.005)(1 + κ), where k is the asymmetry parameter and ν0 is the hypothetical symmetric rotor frequency, (B0 + C0)(J + 1). This empirical relation allows B0 + C0 to be estimated from B + C with an uncertainty of only a few tenths of a percent.

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.
