Abstract
Abstract The microwave spectrum of thionyl chloride has been investigated in the region 18.0–26.5 GHz with 35 Cl and 37 Cl species present in natural abundance. Only transitions in the ground state were measured and assigned. The rotational constants and quartic centrifugal distortion constants of 32 S 16 O 35 Cl 2 , 32 S 16 O 35 Cl 37 Cl and 32 S 16 O 37 Cl 2 have been determined. Substitution coordinates of atoms of chlorine by mono- and di-substitution have been calculated. Several structures of thionyl chloride are proposed and discussed.
