Abstract
Within the last decade microwave Fourier transform spectroscopic techniques combined with molecular beam techniques have improved the resolution in routine rotational spectroscopy by two orders of magnitude. Are cw-spectrometers based on Stark effect modulation now obsolete? After a short introduction to the basic principles of microwave Fourier transform spectroscopy, the advantages and disadvantages or the different types of spectrometers will be discussed on the basis of experiences gained with instruments developed by the Kiel group. As an example experimental studies of small imine-, nitro- and nitrile-compounds will be presented and their results will be compared with the corresponding results from quantum chemical calculations. Quantum chemists may feel challenged
