    Microwave studies of methyl alcohol and methyl amine
    (University of New Brunswick, 1983) Noble, Tony James; Lees, Ron
    The microwave spectra of methyl alcohol and methyl amine were studied with various goals in mind. An attempt was made to further verify the existence of a hypothetical X state. However, due to poor resolution no additional information was obtained. It was also attempted to add additional support to the assignment of K = 1 →O E2 to a weak Q-branch series by looking for other transitions which the assignment forced to exist. No substantial evidence was found although a transition was seen near an expected location but could not be positively identified. A number of lines in the 60 to 80 GHz region of the methyl amine spectrum were measured. These lines fit a Q-branch series. Two large lines were found close together which is of significance as they can be easily identified by their separation and relative intensities.
