Abstract
The microwave absorption spectrum of a tetrahedral molecule in its ground vibronic state has been observed for the first time. By using a conventional Stark spectrometer with a signal averager, four lines with strengths≲5× have been detected in between 7.8 and 14.2 GHz and identified as transitions resulting from the distortion electric dipole moment.
