Anisotropy in the Magnetic Susceptibility and the Molecular Quadrupole Moment of 16O12C32S

Abstract

A high‐resolution Zeeman effectmicrowave spectrometer has been used to determine the anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility of OCS as χ zz − χ xx = ( − 8.35 ± 0.28) × 10 −6 emu . From this data, the individual components of the magnetic susceptibility and the quadrupole moment of OCS have been calculated as χ xx = χ yy = − 29.6 × 10 −6 emu ; χ zz = − 38.0 × 10 −6 emu and Θ = − 2.10 × 10 −26 esu · cm 2 , respectively.
