Pure Rotational Spectroscopic Measurements on a Uranium-containing Polyatomic Compound: SUO2
Abstract
Ground-state rotational constants were determined from the rotational spectra of two isotopologues (S-32 and S-34) of SUO2. For 32SUO2 it was determined that A0= 5150.34(17) MHz, B0= 2950.302(12) MHz, and C0= 1872.933(13) MHz. The SUO2 molecules were produced using a laser ablation nozzle inside of a chirped pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer operating between 8 GHz and 18 GHz. The obtained rotational constants and Kraitchman substitution coordinates for sulfur are in very good agreement with those obtained from quantum chemical calculations.
