Abstract

A combination of chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave (CP-FTMW) spectroscopy and cavity Fourier transform microwave (c-FTMW) spectroscopy has been used to analyze the spectra of 3,4-difluorobenzaldehyde and two distinct fluoropyridine � carbon dioxide complexes. In all cases, the 8 � 18 GHz CP-FTMW spectrum was measured, and the most intense transitions were chosen for further analysis. The intensities of the identified transitions were measured at multiple polarization powers using the c-FTMW spectrometer. Subsequently, a series of double-resonance experiments were performed on these transitions, again using the c-FTMW spectrometer, in order to discover which transitions shared a common quantum state. Following the double-resonance experiments, the assignments of the spectra were trivial. The results of the spectroscopic analysis, as well as the semi-automated method, will be presented.
