Abstract
The molecular Zeeman effect in formaldehyde was studied using a molecular beam maser spectrometer in fields to 17 kG. The molecular resonance linewidth was 5 kHz. and transitions were observed for the 110 → 111 rotational transition. The measured susceptibility anisotropies (in units of 10−6 erg/G2·mole) are and . The molecular quadrupole moment obtained from this data (in units of 10−26 esu·cm2) are , and . The Stark effect produced by the motion of the molecules in the magnetic field was clearly observed.
