THE STRUCTURE OF HYDROGEN FLOURIDE DIMER AND THE NATURE OF ITS HYDROGEN BOND

Abstract

The microwave and electric field allowed radio frequency spectra of the various isotopic forms of hydrogen fluoride dimer have been observed for $K \not= 0 $ rotational states. These results yield values of the rotational constants, dipole moments and asymmetry doublings of the molecules. These, together with earlier results for K = 0 states, give effective structures and vibrational potential functions of these very non-rigid molecules.
