MICROWAVE SPECTRUM MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND DIPOLE MOMENT OF XENON OXYTETRAFLUORIDE

Refined values of the structural parameters of xenon oxytetrafluoride have been obtained from the microwave spectrum: r(XeO) = 1.703 ± 0.015 A ̊, r(XeF) = 1.900 ± 0.005 A ̊, {measured angle} (OXeF) = 91.8 ± 0.5°. The dipole moment was measured by double resonance to be 0.65 ± .09 D. Lines from three vibrational satellites were seen and a partial assignment was made. © 1968.
