✦ Synopsis
The ground state rotational spectra of four methylcyanopolyynes CH 3 (C'C) 2 CN, CH 3 (C'C) 3 CN, CH 3 (C'C) 4 CN, and CH 3 (C'C) 5 CN were measured between 6 and 22 GHz by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. For CH 3 (C'C) 2 CN, previously observed by Alexander et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 70, 84 -94 (1978)] eight transitions were observed, each with sufficient resolution to determine the nitrogen quadrupole hyperfine constant for the first time: eqQ ϭ Ϫ4.25(3) MHz. The longer three methylcyanopolyynes are new; for these, from 10 to 21 rotational transitions were detected and precise values for the rotational and the leading centrifugal distortion constants, and eqQ for CH 3 (C'C) 3 CN, were determined.

## Abstract Pulse radiolysis techniques were used to measure the gas phase UV absorption spectra of the title peroxy radicals over the range 215–340 nm. By scaling to σ(CH~3~O~2~)~240 nm~ = (4.24 ± 0.27) × 10^−18^, the following absorption cross sections were determined: σ(HO~2~)~240 nm~ = 1.29 ± 0
