Conclusions:Conclusions: Spectroscopic constants determined for the ground state and nine different vibrational excited states Strongest features in rotational spectrum can be predicted with confidence well into the submillimeter-wave region Well-behaved rotational spectrum in lowest states: meaningful quartics in Watson’s Hamiltonian and all transitions fitted to within experimental accuracy Vibrational states crowded above 200 cm –1 and subject to various perturbations In progress: Dipole moment measurement Search for hydrogen-bonded complexes
