The HC5O radical is a linear
molecule. Transitions with small quantum numbers
were reported by
(1) S. Mohamed, M. C. McCarthy, A. L. Cooksy,
C. Hinton, and P. Thaddeus,
2005, J. Chem. Phys. 123, Art. No. 234301.
Some spectroscopic parameters were evaluated from
values of C5H.
The predictions of the lower 2Π1/2
spin component should be sufficiently accurate
for the detection of the molecule in the cold ISM;
caution is advised for predicted frequencies above
140 GHz. Predictions of the higher
2Π3/2 spin component
should be viewed with great caution throughout.
An ab initio dipole moment was taken from (1).
The value should be viewed with some caution.
