Abstract
The rotational spectrum of the aluminum monoxide radical in the ground electronic state X 2Σ+ was observed in the millimeter‐ and submillimeter‐wave region. Aluminum monoxide radicals were generated directly in a flow reactor absorption cell by the reaction of N2O with aluminum vaporized from a high‐temperature crucible. The observed spectrum was analyzed to yield molecular constants including the rotational constant, centrifugal distortion constant, spin–rotation interaction constant, magnetic hyperfine interaction constants, and nuclear quadrupole coupling constant.Keywords
