Abstract
The rotational spectrum of 3-methoxypropylamine was collected from 8.0 to 18.5 GHz with the Coker College chirped-pulse FTMW molecular beam spectrometer. Ab initio predictions using the B3LYP-D3 dispersion-corrected density functional gave high quality starting geometries, enabling us to quickly assign the spectrum of the lowest energy conformer, which has a g'gt configuration (moving from the amine end to the methoxy end of the molecule). Attempts were also made to collect the spectrum of this molecule in the room-temperature waveguide instrument at New College, but these attempts were unsuccessful as the molecule rapidly reacts with the copper walls of the waveguide to produce ammonia.
