Abstract

The pure rotational spectrum of the X¹Σ⁺ ground electronic state for 9 isotopomers of platimum monosilicide has been measured. For the most abundant isotopomer, ¹⁹⁴pt²⁸Si, the J=1-0 and the J=2-1 transitions were recorded up to the fourth vibrationally excited state. The data set obtained enabled a multi-isotopomer fit to a Dunham-type expression and the constants Y₀₁, Y₀₂, Y₁₁, Y₂₁ and Y₃₁ were determined. In the process of fitting the data it was necessary to include Born-Oppenheimer breakdown correction terms and the values and significance of these terms are discussed. The nuclear spin-rotation constant, C_I(195^Pt) is found to be 30.98(157) kHz in the ground vibrational state. Hyperfine structure arising from the 29Si nucleus was not observed. The measurement of Stark shifts in the rotational spectrum of PtSi has enabled the determination of the dipole moments for the ¹⁹⁴Pt²⁸Si and ¹⁹⁶Pt²⁸Si isotopomers.
