Description:
Rotational spectra of the weakly bound H 2 O—N 2 O complex and its HOD—N 2 O isotopologue in a supersonic jet are reported. Rotational constants of the singly substituted deuterium in water and each singly substituted nitrogen-15 are presented. Combinations of isotopic data and high level ab initio calculations place the water in a similar position to those of the isoelectronic H 2 O—CO 2 complex, with a slight tilt of the OH towards the NNO axis. The deuterium nuclear quadrupole coupling constant places the deuterium on the O—H axis quasi-parallel to the NNO axis.
