Vibration-Rotation Interaction in the Microwave Spectrum of KOH

Abstract
The fine structure of the microwave transition J=6←5 of 39KOH and 41KOH has been studied. The analysis results in improved vibration-rotation interaction constants, a1 , a2, y22, yll and ql. It is shown that coupling between the bending and stretching vibrational modes contributes to the observed frequencies.
