Abstract: | The R band (26.5–40 GHz) microwave spectrum of 2,4-dioxabicyclo3.1.0]hexan-3-one is reported. Rotational constants for the ground vibrational state of the common 12C41H416O3 and 13C1, 13C6 isotopically substituted species (the latter observed in natural abundance) have been evaluated. In addition rotational constants of the VB = 1 to VB = 5 quanta associated with the bending vibration of the five membered ring have been determined. A partial rs structure has been calculated: , . With certain assumed molecular information a least squares fit yields the following parameters: , , . |
