Abstract

The microwave spectra of CD3 —S —S —CD3 and CH3 —S —S—CH3 have been measured in the frequency range from 5.5 to 34 kmc/sec. From the six rotational constants an r0-structure has been calculated. STARK-effect measurements have been made for the 101 —110 and 202—211 rotational transitions of CH3—S—S—CH3. The dipole moment was calculated to be (1.985±0.01) Debye. An approximate value for the barrier to internal rotation of the two methyl tops is given, V3= (1.6±0.1) kcal. The calculation has been based on triplet splittings of the rotational lines using second order perturbation theory in the torsional wavefunctions and neglecting first order and cross terms in angular momentum.
