Abstract

"\textit{Iso}-propyl cyanide, also known as \textit{iso}-butyronitrile, is a branched alkyl molecule recently detected in the interstellar medium.\footnote{A. Belloche, R. T. Garrod, H. S. P. M\""{u}ller, K. M. Menten, \textit{Science}, \textbf{2014}, \textit{345}, 1584.} A combination of Stark-modulated microwave spectroscopy and frequency-modulated millimeter and submillimeter wave spectroscopy was used to analyze its rotational spectrum from 26 to 480 GHz. Spectral assignments and analysis include transitions from the ground state, eight excited vibrational states and $^{13}$C isotopologues. Results of this work should facilitate astronomers further observations of \textit{iso}-propyl cyanide in the interstellar medium."
