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 $v_{11} =1,\,2,\,3$, and 4, v10=1, v9=1, ( v10 = 1, v11 = 1), and ( v10 = 1, v11 = 2). Transitions up to $J = 101 \leftarrow 100$ 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.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
