15. June 20, 200863 rd International Symposium On Molecular Spectroscopy Conclusion Bond Lengths of CCP were precisely determined and match the results from theoretical calculations. Magnetic Hyperfine structures provided useful information of electron density distribution in this molecule. Hyperfine transtions of four CCP isotopologues were obtained.
