Abstract

The microwave spectrum of samples of $Me_{3}N-BMe_{3}, Me_{3}^{15}N-BMe_{3}$, and $(CD_{3})_{3}-BMe_{3}$ have been investigated. These weak adducts give rise to broad absorption bands with some resolvable structure. Efforts at assigning the spectral details and determining the ground state $B_{O}$’s have not been completely successful. Nevertheless, using the isotope shifts a value of 1.70 $\pm 0.02 {\AA}$ for d(B-N) can be obtained and estimates can be made for the other structural parameters.
