Microwave Spectrum of the SD+3 Ion: Molecular Structure.
The J = 1-0 to 4-3 spectral lines of SD+3 were measured in the 152-610 GHz region using a source-modulated microwave spectrometer. The SD+3 ion was generated in a free space absorption cell by a hollow-cathode discharge in a gas mixture of D2S and D2. The rotational constant B0 and the centrifugal distortion constants DJ and DJK were determined from the measured frequencies. A vibration-rotation analysis was carried out and the rz structures of SH+3 and SD+3 were derived from their zero point averaged rotational constants, expressed as SH+3: rz = 1.36512(22) Å and thetaz = 94.098(26) degrees, and SD+3: rz = 1.36086(16) Å and thetaz = 94.1211(195) degrees, where the difference between thetaz(HSH) and thetaz(DSD) was assumed to be the same as that between thetaz(HPH) of PH3 and thetaz(DPD) of PD3. From the shift between the rz structures of SH+3 and SD+3, the re structure of SH+3 was estimated to be re = 1.35001(113) Å, thetae = 94.181(135) degrees. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
