Microwave spectrum of Trioxane in four excited degenerate vibrational states,especially in the 2ν20 (E) state and the combination state ν7 (A1) + ν20 (E)

The microwave spectra of the Trioxane molecule in the doubly excited degenerate vibrational state 2ν₂₀(E) and in the combination state ν₇(A₁) + ν₂₀(E) are reported for several J values. Molecular constants of these states have been determined. The excited states ν₂₀(E) = 1 and ν₁₉(E) = 1 previously studied by a perturbation formula have been analyzed by a direct diagonalization method of the energy matrix. Parameters which give the variation of the rotational constant B_V as a function of the quantum number v have been obtained.
