Abstract
The roatational spectrum of $OCS-N_{2} O$ has been recorded in the 7 - 18 GHz region using a pulsed molecular beam, Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Both a- and $b$-type transitions are two quadupolar $^{14} N$ nuclei have been analyzed using the Watson A-reduced Hamiltonian with the inclusion of the hyperfine interactions. The spectroscopic constants are consistent with a planar structure with the centres of mass of the two submits separated by 3.52 {\AA}. The OCS subunit is approximately perpendicular to the intermolecular axis while the $N_{2} O$ subunit form an angle of about $56^{\circ}$ with the intermolecular axis.
