Title: Pure rotational microwave absorption spectrum
Post by: shafaifer on March 01, 2015, 07:36:41 PM

Is it possible for the spherical rotor, methane, to show a pure rotational microwave spectrum if it becomes sufficiently distorted by rotation? This is actually the case with the spherical rotor, SiH₄, but I was wondering if it is also the case with CH₄ :)

Kind regards

Ever thought of googling "CH4 microwave spectrum"? I did, and found this:
