“…From this comparison it is seen that in the present work for both isotopic species rotational constants and some centrifugal-distortion constants have been improved. The improvement is roughly one order of magnitude and mainly due to the higher accuracy of the transitions Lattanzi et al (2008), Baskakov (1996), Bellet et al (1971), and Kukolich (1969 recorded up to ∼600 GHz by means of the Lamb-dip technique. In the case of HCOOD the present investigation, carried out up to 1.05 THz, allowed to determine one additional centrifugaldistortion constant, i.e., l JK , in comparison to the previous work by Lattanzi et al (2008), who recorded transitions up to 1.2 THz (Table 1).…”
