Title: Laboratory detections of SiC{sub 2}N and SiC{sub 3}N by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy

Abstract

Two silicon-bearing carbon chain radicals, SiC{sub 2}N and SiC{sub 3}N, were detected in the laboratory by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Molecular constants including the hyperfine coupling constants have been determined for the two radicals in the ground electronic states. The SiC{sub 2}N and SiC{sub 3}N radicals have linear structures in the {sup 2}Π ground electronic states with inverted and regular fine structures, respectively, as are the cases for their isoelectronic radicals, SiC{sub 3}H and SiC{sub 4}H, indicating that the SiC{sub n}N radicals have similar electronic structures to the SiC{sub n+1}H radicals. The electronic structures of SiC{sub 2}N and SiC{sub 3}N in the ground states are discussed on the basis of the experimentally determined molecular constants.
