Abstract
The rotational spectrum of the semistable HC
5N molecule has
been investigated in the millimeter-wave region for eight excited bending
states which lie below 500 cm
-1, namely
, and 4,
v10=1,
v9=1, (
v10 = 1,
v11 = 1), and (
v10 = 1,
v11 = 2).
Transitions up to
were measured, reaching a frequency
as high as 270 GHz.
The set of spectroscopic constants determined in the present work makes it possible
to predict with much improved accuracy the transition frequencies of millimeter-wave
lines produced by vibrationally excited HC
5N in hot core molecular sources and
circumstellar shells.
In addition, results of extensive CCSD(T) calculations are presented,
which yield accurate term values for low-lying bending vibrational states.
