| Abstract: | The carbon chain molecules vinylcyanoacetylene and cyanovinylacetylene have been investigated between 8 and 41 GHz by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy of a supersonic molecular beam. Owing to the high spectral resolution of the present technique, significantly more accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been derived for both molecules. In addition, the dipole moments have been calculated at the B3LYP/cc-pVTZ level of theory. Because these carbon chains are similar in structure and composition to known astronomical molecules and because of their high polarity, both species are good candidates for radioastronomical detection. |
