Abstract
Accurate values of the quadrupole moments of nonpolar hydrocarbons such as allene, ethylene, and ethane have been determined from analysis of the low frequency tail of the CIA rotational spectra of these molecules. Experimental spectra are compared to those calculated by superposition of individual transitions as opposed to spectral moment inteqrated absorption coefficients. Argon-molecule CIA spectra will be presented and analyzed in terms of the multipole moments and differences in the anisotropies of the molecule-atom versus molecule-molecule collisions.
