Abstract
The microwave spectrum of 4-methylisothiazole was assigned by means of a pulsed molecular beam microwave Fourier transform spectrometer. Analysis of the spectrum yielded the rotational constants .4 = 7370.642(31) MHz, B = 2515.8461 (30) MHz, C = 1897.2863(33) MHz, a threefold barrier to internal rotation of the methyl group of V3 = 3170.81 (130) GHz≙ 105.7669(430) cm-1, a momentum of inertia of the methyl group of Iα = 3.16769(130) amu · Å2 and an angle between internal rotor axis and principal a-axis of Θ= 5.406(38)°. The nitrogen quadrupole coupling constants were determined to be χ+ = χbb + χcc = 1.4822(14) MHz, χ -= χbb-χcc = - 1.4353(25) MHz and χab= - 3.16(12) MHz.
