Rotational Constants
Conclusions Rotational analysis of nonpolar ccDFBD depends on high-resolution (0.0013 cm-1) infrared spectroscopy. Rotational structure in 2 C-type bands has been analyzed. Hot bands from the torsional mode at 78 cm-1 cause very congested spectra. GS and US rotational constants are reported for 11(au) at 763 cm-1 and 12(au) at 327 cm-1. First step toward an equilibrium structure for ccDFBD.
