Constraints on the molecular properties of interstellar X-ogen derived from radio observations

Twenty-eight X-ogen emission sources at 89.189 GHz have been detected and observed; of these, 20 are new X-ogen sources which also contain other interstellar molecules. No infrared stars were found to be X-ogen sources. A new rest frequency, 89,188.65 MHz, has been derived for X-ogen. We show that X- ogen is not SiC, C$sub 2$H, or any molecule with spin-doubling and/or hyperfine structure. (AIP)
