The Molecular Structure, Dipole Moment, and g Factor of Ozone from Its Microwave Spectrum

Abstract
Four low‐J rotational transitions of 0316 have been measured in the region from 42 to 118 kmc. The rotational spectroscopic constants found are A = 106,530.0±1.1 Mc, B = 13,349.06±0.06 Mc, C = 11,834.3±1.1 Mc. The oxygen nuclei form an isosceles triangle with an apex angle of 116°49′±30′, and the two equal internuclear distances are 1.278±0.003A. From the Stark splitting of the 20,2→11,1 transition the dipole moment is 0.53±0.02 debye. Zeeman splittings of this transition show that ozone is not significantly paramagnetic.
