Spectra of the ground, $\nu_2,\; \nu_3,\; \nu_5,$ and $\nu_6$ states have been assigned, combined with other available data, and fit up to $J\approx 90$ for a wide range of $K_c$. The spectrum of naturally abundant $^{13}$COF$_2$ in its ground vibrational state has also been observed and fit, although the range of quantum states is smaller due to interference from the nearby normal species. These results allow more accurate prediction of high $J$ infrared spectra of the fundamental vibrations below 1000 cm$^{-1}$. The fits will be described and some examples of rotational and infrared spectra will be shown. en_US dc.language.iso en en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title THE COF$_2$ ROTATIONAL SPECTRUM NEAR 1 THz; IMPROVED MOLECULAR CONSTANTS FOR THE GROUND AND FIRST EXCITED STATES OF $\nu_2,\; \nu_3,\; \nu_5,$ and $\nu_6$ en_US dc.type Article en_US
