Rotational analysis of the 0 band of the à 3EX̃ 3A2 system of methylnitrene

Abstract
The optical emission spectrum of the methylnitrene radical has been observed at a resolution of 0.07 cm−1. Transitions to subbands with K up to 3 in the X̃ 3A2 ground state were observed and a full rotational analysis carried out. Comparison of the structural information with the highest level theoretical calculations shows agreement to within the estimated error.
