Microwave spectrum and dipole moment of glycolaldehyde

The microwave spectrum of glycolaldehyde, CH 2OH-CHO, has been measured and the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of the ground and three vibrational excited states have been obtained. Only one isomer, which has the carbonyl and the hydroxyl groups cis to one another, was identified. T...

Description
Summary:The microwave spectrum of glycolaldehyde, CH 2OH-CHO, has been measured and the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of the ground and three vibrational excited states have been obtained. Only one isomer, which has the carbonyl and the hydroxyl groups cis to one another, was identified. The dipole moment was determined to be 2.73 ± 0.04 D from Stark-effect measurements.
