Abstract
The mm-wave spectra of 15N18 O and 14N 17 O in both X2 Π1/2 and X2 Π3/2 states have been measured and assigned for the first time. Improved rotational and, for the first time, 17O hyperfine coupling constants have been derived from the analysis. The 14N17 O data yield parameters of the unpaired electron spatial distribution near both nuclei. Furthermore, the deviation from the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is confirmed on the basis of the rotational constants of five isotopomers. Finally, when comparing the nuclear spin-rotation constants to the ones of other molecules containing 14N or 17O nuclei, a roughly linear proportionality with the rotational constant B is found.
