Abstract

The pure rotational spectrum of the X²Σ⁺ ground electronic states of the BaOH and BaOD radicals has been observed using millimeter/sub-millimeter direct absorption spectroscopy. The lesser abundant isotopically substituted species, ¹³⁶BaOH and ¹³⁷BaOH, have been detected as well. The radicals were created by reacting barium metal vapor, produced in a Broida-type oven, with either H₂O₂ or D₂O₂. The rotational and spin-rotation constants were determined for the molecules from a nonlinear leastsquares fit to the data, using a ²Σ Hamiltonian. Hyperfine constants were also derived for ¹³⁷BaOH, the one species where hyperfine structure was resolved. These measurements confirm a linear structure for BaOh.
