Microwave studies of methyl amine

Abstract

The microwave spectrum of methyl amine was studied with the intent of extending the assignments for the Q branch. Some lines were found but none beyond the J=8 transition. A number of lines in the 100 to 130 MHz region were measured and these were compared to the theoretical values for the quadrupole splitting, with the intent of eventually determining more accurate values for the coupling constants of methyl amine.
