Abstract
The microwave spectrum of $HNO_{3}-HCI$ has been obtained via pulsed nozzle Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The spectrum is consistent with a planer or near-planer structure in which the $HNO_{3}$. hydrogen bonds to the chlorine and the O-H vector is nearly perpendicular to the H-CI bond. Preliminary analysis indicates a hydrogen bond length of about 2.3 A, which is similiar to that in HCl-HF. The structure is compared with those of $HNO_{3}-NH_{3}$ and $HNO_{3}-H_{2}O$, both of which have been previously studied in our laboratory.
