Microwave Spectrum of Iodostannane, SnH3I

The pure rotational spectra of seven isotopic species of the chemically unstable symmetric top molecule iodostannane, SnH3I, have been measured in the region 28.3–31.6 GHz, using a microwave spectrometer. Each transition (J→J+1) exhibited a complex K structure due to quadrupole coupling and centrifu...

Description
Summary:The pure rotational spectra of seven isotopic species of the chemically unstable symmetric top molecule iodostannane, SnH3I, have been measured in the region 28.3–31.6 GHz, using a microwave spectrometer. Each transition (J→J+1) exhibited a complex K structure due to quadrupole coupling and centrifugal distortion. A quadrupole coupling constant eQq=−1273±8 MHz and centrifugal distortion constant DJK=0.0041±0.0003 MHz were obtained from the analysis. Rotational spectra of vibrational excited states were observed for the most abundant isotopic species.
