“Microwave transitions have been measured for HCP, $H13CP$ DCP and $D13CP$, and rotational Constants for these linear aperies obtained. The derived substitution structures indicate the C H bond length to be close to that in HCN, while the C-P bond is only slightly Shorter than this length in the CP radical. The dipole moment is very much less than that of HCN. Some high resolution infrared data and the possibility of obtaining an equilibrium structure will also be discussed.”
