Abstract
The paper describes the early endeavours by radioastronomers to detect the weak signature of the Zeeman effect in interstellar neutral hydrogen clouds in an effort to measure the Galactic magnetic field strength. The search is set in the context of the neutral hydrogen programme at Jodrell Bank. (Β© 2007 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The molecular rotational Zeeman effect has been observed at high magnetic fields in F';?C"N. The magnetic susceptibility anisorropy is XL -Xi = (7.2 c 0.8) X 10" erg/G' mole, thk molecular g value is -0.0504 i 0.0008, and the molecular quadrupole moment is (-3.7 2 1.0) X 1 tTz6 esu. The results are
