Abstract

The microwave rotational spectra of the trans conformer of 3-fluorophenol have been observed in excited torsional states and analyzed in the frequency range 12.0–43.0 GHz using conventional microwave and Radio-Frequency Microwave Double Resonance (RFMWDR) techniques. Analysis of the ground torsional state spectrum has been extended to higher rotational states. Least-squares analysis of three sets of rotational transitions yield rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for the ground and first two excited torsional states. A nonlinear behavior of the variation of inertial defect with the torsional quantum number was observed.
