Microwave Spectrum of Chlorine Dioxide. V. The Stark and Zeeman Effects

Abstract

The Stark and Zeeman effects of ClO2 have been observed in the rotational spectrum of ClO2. The dipole moment resulting from the Stark-effect measurements is 1.784±0.01 D. The Zeeman effect was observed to fit the calculated spectrum for the interaction of a free electron with the magnetic field. The anisotropic components of the g factor are too small (about 1%) to be measured reliably with low magnetic fields.
