Abstract

Seven rovibrational transitions of the (0110)−(0000) fundamental bending band of C3 habe been measured with high precision using a tunable far-infrared laser spectrometer. The C3 molecules were produced by laser vaporization of a graphite rod and cooled in a supersonic expansion. This is the first determination of the astronomically inportant ν2 fundamental frequency near C3 intersteller medium with far-infrared astronomy.
