Abstract
The millimeter wave rotational spectrum of hypofluorous acid displays sizeable distortion effects. More than forty lines each for both HOF and DOF including a‐ and b‐type transitions have been measured. A semirigid rotor Hamiltonian, which includes the quartic distortion terms, was employed to fit the spectrum. The special constants (in MHz) in the notation of Watson are for HOF: A= 585 631.20, B= 26 760.31, C= 25 510.19, ΔJ= 0.09414, ΔJK= 2.4146, ΔK= 82.52, δJ= 0.00432 and δK= 1.120. For DOF: A= 316 096.02, B= 25 593.91, C= 23 585.28, ΔJ= 0.07903, ΔJK= 1.7349, ΔK= 24.82, δJ= 0.005933 and δK= 1.183. Corrections to A, B, and C given above have been applied to obtain the effective moments of inertia, and the structure is recalculated.
