The rotation spectrum of methyl alcohol from 20 cm-1 to 80 cm-1

Abstract

The rotational spectrum of methanol vapor has been measured from 20 cm-1 to 80 cm-1. The observations have been compared with the predictions of Burkhard and Dennison and for the most part good agreement is found. Some differences are found and since the new observations offer more reliable data with which to determine the energy levels a re-examination of the problem has been made.
