Abstract
Spectroscopic constants determined from the ground-state rotational spectrum of a weakly bound dimer formed between methane and hydrogen cyanide are interpreted to yield the surprising result that the dimer geometry is of C3v symmetry, but with the HCN molecule acting as the proton donor and CH4 as the proton acceptor, i.e. CH4⋯ HCN.Keywords
