Methyl cyanide is an important trace molecule in star-forming regions. It is one of the more common molecules used to derive kinetic temperatures in such sources. As preparatory work for Herschel, SOFIA, and in particular ALMA we want to improve the rest frequencies of the main as well as minor isotopologs of methyl cyanide. The laboratory rotational spectrum of methyl cyanide in natural isotopic composition has been recorded up to 1.63 THz. Transitions with good signal-to-noise ratio could be identified for CH$_3$CN, $^{13}$CH$_3$CN, CH$_3^{13}$CN, CH$_3$C$^{15}$N, CH$_2$DCN, and $^{13}$CH$_3^{13}$CN in their ground vibrational states up to about 1.2 THz. The main isotopic species could be identified even in the highest frequency spectral recordings around 1.6 THz. The highest $J'$ quantum numbers included in the fit are 64 for $^{13}$CH$_3^{13}$CN and 89 for the main isotopic species. Greatly improved spectroscopic parameters have been obtained by fitting the present data together with previously reported transition frequencies. The present data will be helpful to identify isotopologs of methyl cyanide in the higher frequency bands of instruments such as the recently launched Herschel satellite, the upcoming airplane mission SOFIA or the radio telescope array ALMA.
Toward a global model of the interactions in low-lying states of methyl cyanide: rotational and rovibrational spectroscopy of the $v_4 = 1$ state and tentative interstellar detection of the $v_4 = v_8 = 1$ state in Sgr B2(N)
通过对新的和已有的乙腈分子转动光谱的分析，将低振动态及其相互作用的整体模型推广到$v_4=1$（920 cm $^{-1}$）.旋转光谱覆盖了36 $-$ 1439 GHz区域的大部分，并分别达到量子数$J$和$K$为79和16。CH $_3$ CN的$K$能级结构的信息由IR光谱获得。在我们以前的研究中分析的717 cm $^{-1}$周围的$2ν_8$光谱也覆盖了$ν_4$带。在这个波段的分配覆盖880 $-$ 952 cm $^{-1}$，获得的量子数$J$和$K$分别为61和13。$v_4=1$最重要的相互作用似乎是与$v_8=3$、$ΔK=0$、$Δl=+3$的相互作用，这是一种先前表征的非谐共振。我们报告了与$ΔK=-2$和$Δl=+1$，与$ΔK=-4$和$Δl=-1$，与$ΔK=-6$和$Δl=-3$相互作用的新分析;这四种类型的相互作用将$v_8=3$的所有$l$亚态能量连接到$v_4=1$。还分析了已知的$ΔK=-2$、$Δl=+1$与$v_7=1$的相互作用，并且改进了对$ΔK=+1$、$Δl=-2$和$ΔK=+3$、$Δl=0$与$v_8=2$的共振的研究，以及主要通过新的$v_8\le 2$旋转数据改进了连续状态与$v_8\le 3$之间的相互作用。基于转动跃迁频率和$ν_4+ν_8-ν_8$热带数据对$v_4=v_8=1$态进行了初步的单态分析。尽管$v…
