Abstract
Some 150 hyperfine transitions belonging to the $S_{08}\rightarrow 7_{17}$ and $9_{19}\rightarrow 10_{0,10}$ rotational transitions of $N^{14}O^{16}O^{17}$ have been observed in the microwave region. The new coupling constants which have been determined are the odd-electron expectation values on oxygen. They are $\begin{array}{l}|\psi(0)|^{2}=0.71 \times 10^{24} cm^{-3},\\<\frac{3\hat{r}_{a}^{2}-1}{r^{3}}>=-4.71 \times 10^{24} cm^{-3}\\\end{array}$ and $<\frac{(\hat{r}_b-i\hat{r}_{c})^{2}}{r^{2}}> =5.04 \times 10^{24} cm^{-3}.$ The results of the work are combined with previous work on other isotopic modifications of $NO_{2}$ to give a LCAO-MO picture of the odd electron orbital. This work was supported by Grant C-071 of The Robert A. Welch Foundation and in part by Grant GP-4166 from the National Science Foundation.
