Abstract
The submillimetre-wave spectrum of the molecular ions N15NH+, 15NNH+,
N15ND+, and 15NND+ have been investigated in the laboratory using
a source-modulation microwave spectrometer equipped with a negative glow discharge
cell.
The diazenylium ion was produced in a Ar/N2/H2(D2) discharge plasma
and the 15N-containing isotopologues were observed in natural abundance.
Six new rotational transitions for the protonated species and seven for the deuterated ones were accurately measured
in the frequency range 270-760 GHz.
These new laboratory measurements of the rare isotopologues of N2H+ provide very precise rest frequencies at millimetre
and submillimetre wavelengths useful for the
radioastronomical identification of their rotational lines in the ISM.
