Abstract
An equilibrium C–H distance re of 1.091±0.002 A has been calculated with the aid of a normal coordinate treatment from vibrational and rotational spectroscopic data on CH4 and CD4. From these results we also derive for the mean C–H distance, of interest in electron diffraction studies, the value 1.102±0.002 A.Keywords
