Abstract

The rotational spectra of all twelve stable isotopic species of ClF, BrF, BrCl, ICl, and IBr were observed and measured in the millimeter wave region by means of a sensitive microwave spectrometer. Transitions were detected over a wide range of frequencies for molecules in both the ground vibrational state and several excited states. The rotational spectrum of each molecule was split by the nuclear quadrupoleinteraction. Altogether, 250 new lines were ...
