Abstract
The present work fills several significant gaps in the study of the rotational spectrum of the methylene chloride molecule. Two Fourier transform microwave spectrometers were used, providing complementary coverage of the 8–18 GHz region, at room temperature and in supersonic expansion. Hyperfine resolved measurements were made and fitted for ground states of the CH235Cl2, CH235Cl37Cl, CH237Cl2, and 13CH235Cl2 isotopic species, as well as for nine different excited vibrational states. Transitions in the v4=2, v4=3, v3=1, v9=1 states in CH235Cl2, and transitions in excited states of the ν4 mode in 35Cl37Cl and 37Cl2 isotopic species have been assigned for the first time. Vibrational and isotopic dependence of nuclear quadrupole coupling constants was identified. The v3=1 and v9=1 states in CH235Cl2 were found to be significantly coupled by c-axis Coriolis interaction, while transitions in v4=2 and v4=3 states exhibited hyperfine mediated perturbations enhancing the determination of the χab parameter and allowing assessment of its vibrational dependence.
