L-Uncoupling Effects on the Electron-Paramagnetic-Resonance Spectra of N14O16 and N15O16

Abstract
High-resolution paramagnetic-resonance spectra have been obtained for the molecules N14 O16 and N15 O16 in the J=32 and J=52 rotational levels of the II3/22 ground state at X-band and S-band microwave frequencies. The results are: gJ(N14O16;J=32)=0.777246±0.000018, gJ(N15O16;J=32)=0.778072±0.000020; gJ(N14O16;J=52)=0.316648±0.000045; and gJ(N15O16;J=52)=0.317617±0.000040 for the molecular g factors. The measured g factors were compared with those calculated from the theory of magnetic effects on Λ-type doubling previously developed by Radford. Somewhat improved values for the Λ-type doubling frequencies and nuclear hyperfine-structure coupling constants were also obtained.
