“…The nondeuterated isotopomers were studied in natural abundance, while the two deuterated species were synthesized at Oberlin College [4] and made available as a mixture of the two isomers in approximately 65% purity, which was used without further separation or purification. The pulsed molecular beam, Fourier transform microwave spectrometer at Amherst College has been described previously [5] and thus only few details are presented here. A 0.8 mm pulsed nozzle is mounted behind one of the mirrors that form the Fabry-Pérot cavity.…”
