β¦ Synopsis
The microwave spectrum of o-chlorotoluene has been reinvestigated using molecular beam Fourier transform microwave (MB-FTMW) spectrometers in the frequency range of 4-23 GHz. Due to the high resolution of this molecular beam technique the analysis yielded improved rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and, for the first time, the complete chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling tensor. From the torsional fine structure the barrier to internal rotation of the methyl group was found to be 5.5798(52) kJ mol Γ1 . Experimental results and ab initio calculations are compared.

A pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer was also used for the measure
The deuterium nuclear quadrupole coupling constant (QCC) has recently been measured for the hydroxy-D in methanol-CCl4 mixtures of various compositions. The QCC which is strongly sensitive to the local environment of a molecule can also be calculated. For this purpose we have performed a series of m
