Abstract

The frequencies of the N = 0–1 transitions of C¹⁸O⁺ and ¹³CO⁺ have been measured, and those of the main isotopic form have been remeasured. The hyperfine parameters of ¹³CO⁺ have been obtained and compared to those previously determined in the laser‐ion beam experiments of Carrington et al. The isotopic variations of the spin‐rotation parameter γ have been studied, and evidence for breakdown of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation has been observed in the isotopic dependence of the rotational constant B₀.
