Far-Infrared Rotational Spectra of ZnH and ZnD in the X2Sigma+ (v = 0) State
Several rotational transitions of zinc hydride and deuteride within the v = 0 level of the X2Sigma+ state have been measured in both electron spin components over the ranges N" = 2 to 10 for ZnH and N" = 9 to 21 for ZnD. A least-squares fit to these data in combination with low-N microwave data measured by other workers has resulted in improved values of the rotational, fine, and hyperfine structure constants. The values of the proton hyperfine constants are discussed in the context of a molecular orbital analysis of zinc hydride. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press
