Abstract

We present new investigations of the millimeter wave spectra of the two lowest-energy conformers of glycine (NH 2CH 2COOH). Measurements of these spectra have been carried out between 75 and 260 GHz using the millimeter-wave spectrometer in Kharkov. The new data set involves rotational transitions with J up to 44 and K a up to 15 for conformer I and transitions with J up to 43 and K a up to 14 for conformer II. This represents a more than twofold expansion both in the frequency range and J quantum-number range in comparison with previous investigations. The improved sets of spectroscopic parameters obtained for both conformers provide accurate transition frequencies for the key lines necessary for radio astronomy searches for interstellar glycine.
