Abstract
Because of the relative difficulty of preparation and handling of molecules containing tritium, few spectroscopic investigations of such molecules have been reported. One molecule containing tritium which is of particular interest to microwave spectroscopists in $NT_{3}$ because of the possibility of observing splitting in the rotational spectrum de to inversion. We report the measurement by microwave techniques of several rotational transitions of $NT_{3}$ in the millimeter and submillimeter wave length region, and the detection of the inversion splitting. Tentative rotation, distortion, and inversion parameters calculated from these measurements are being refined by further measurements.
