Abstract
During our investigation of $CF_{2}=NC1$ and $CF_{2}=NBr$, we noticed that these compounds decompose in the Stark cell. The microwave spectrum of a common decomposition product has now been assigned. The assigment was difficult because the predominant b-type spectrum has only five R transitions between 12.4 and 40 GHz. With the correct assignment, three weak a-type R-transitions and many a-type Q-transitions could be identified. Utilizing the rotational constants $A = 11464.042(7), B = 11151.888(7)$ and $C = 5643.146(7) MHz$, the decomposition product has been identified as $CF_{2}=NH$. Centrifugal distortion and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have also been obtained.
